Question by Jim: Cows -- What hormones, steroids, or whatever are given to them to increase product yield?
...are they being given female growth hormones? Does it affect humans? Does this have anything to do with girls today looking more mature at younger ages than they did a hundred years ago?

I've recently heard some of the negatives about cow's milk and I'm disgusted. I am definitely switching to organic. Anyway, I was wondering if this hormone can lead to weight gain as well. Does anyone know any of the other affects it can have?
