The truth has once again shaken the foundation of the 'American Tower of Babel' that is mainstream science, with a new study out of Harvard University showing that pasteurized milk product from factory farms is linked to causing hormone-dependent cancers. It turns out that the concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFO) model of raising cows on factory farms churns out milk with dangerously high levels of estrone sulfate, an estrogen compound linked to testicular, prostate, and breast cancers.

At least it won't kill you like raw milk.

The title of the article is a bit of a red herring as pasteurization has nothing to do with the hormone levels that are (apparently) linked to cancers. As the article clearly states, the issues are the timing and duration of milking, not raw vs. pasteurized.

I can't tell if there's sarcasm here or not. If you're serious, any supporting data would be great.

some sarcasm but there are a ton of articles on the net if you search for them. Here is just one linking the two.http://frugivoremag....lk-consumption/

I was referring more to actual studies, not anecdotes. I'm familiar with the myriad of websites dedicated to the organic movement, anti-GMO movement, general "green" movement, and most are clearly either personal blogs or trying to sell something. Given that the only places I've found this particular article linked are conspiracy theory websites, anti-government websites, and pro-organic websites, I'll take it with a grain of salt. At least until I can read the actual study.

Personal observation doesn’t count as scientific data but there is defiantly a hormonal advancement that wasn’t there 20+ years ago. Or, maybe I’m turning into a dirty old man

There definitely HAS been a decrease in average age of puberty in the last 100 years. Most research implicates a combination of better nutrition and better healthcare. rBST didn't hit the market in the US or Europe until the mid 1990's, and this trend certainly pre-dates that. There has also been a trend socially of more revealing clothes and a more casual attitude towards sex. Clothing not normally seen on people until their 20's is showing up on kids in their early teens, possibly making them seem older. After all, what kind of 12 year old wears fishnets and heels?

I hear you, and I too like actual studies for my data.My personal anecdote is Puerto Rico. 25 years ago, a few of the large hormone producers set up shop, as the manufacturing is very cheap there, no taxes, no oversight of regulatory agencies. WIthin a coupe of years, the girls around the factories, some as young as 8 or 9 started early development. There has been two entire generations of females now that started menses at 9 and developed bodies of full grown women before they were 12. Anecdotal. For sure.

EVERYTHING "Causes Cancer" - but oddly the rates keep falling

[Bill]

Every single one of us are going to die from something. 100% fatality.

[Bazinga]

That is interesting on the rates keep falling, I guess with more technology they can find more causes they otherwise wouldn't.

Death is a terminal disease. There is no escaping it.
