Estrogens in cows' milk are unlikely to pose a threat to adult health

(European Society of Endocrinology) Estrogens found naturally in cows' milk are likely to be safe for consumption in adults, according to a new review published in the European Journal of Endocrinology. The review brings together scientific evidence in rodent and human studies that examined the effects of ingesting estrogen-containing cows' milk on fertility and the risk of cancer development. The findings suggest that the levels of estrogens found in milk are too low to pose health risks to adults.
