High Levels of Estrogens in Milk

We talked previouly about the estrogen receptor alpha which in our discussion is increased in both prostate cancer and breast cancer. Its stimulation by estrogens is implicated in development of these cancers. Dr. Lyndom Larcom of Clemson has already shown in the lab that estrogens markedly stimulate the growth of prostate cancer tissue. We know that women with estrogen sensitive breast cancer take Temoxifen to block the estrogen receptor alpha.

So should we be concerned about the high levels of estrogens in dairy? The answer is absolutely yes. Garcia-Pelaez and fellow researchers stated in a paper whose link will follow that they were concerned about the high levels of estrogens in dairy..
