It’s completely wild that people drink cow hormone juice and then think that soy is affecting their hormones.

Yeah.

It's completely wild that... Husbandry exists? That we eat other animals? That we rot liquid food to drink it? That we use bacteria to curdle milk?

Hot bean juice!

I'm on your level. People get really weird about milk despite the fact that the majority of people consume animal flesh on a daily basis. Milk is way low on the weird food scale.

We've been eating animals a few million years longer than drinking their milk. (Lactose intolerance is far more common than generally thought.)

Your comparison is stupid.

@idiomaddict talks about cow milk and soy milk, yet you go on a rant about how "cOw MiLk iS nOrMaL?!!".

So conservatives are not people, or I misinterpreted your comment?

[–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Not conservatives, regressives.

how the FUCK do you think babies grow

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

By drinking human hormone juice and getting their hormones messed with. It’s good and helpful for babies.

The problem is that they give the cows growth hormone and high amounts of estrogen to encourage lactation and it's in the milk. I'm lactose intolerant like half of adults anyway so I do almond milk and olive oil butter personally.

That doesn't make any sense. Estrogen wouldn't even make a cow produce more milk. Are you confusing Estrogen with Prolactin? (which also isn't given to cows, but would at least have the effect you describe)

[–] rain_worl@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago

the fda has found no significant difference in milk from cows treated with rBST

source: it came to me in a dream/random food package i read

[–] jimrob4@midwest.social 0 points 2 months ago

None of those chemicals are allowed to be present in the milk of cows lactating for human consumption. They test the milk for those chemicals at the dairy. If any trace amount is found, the whole tanker is dumped as contaminated.

I don't know where you live but I have never ever heard about giving estrogen to cows to force lactation. Just as a reminder, cows produce milk after they got a calf.
