The Effects of Hormones in Milk on Infertility in Women
Dairy consumption is associated with years of advanced ovarian aging, thought to be due to the steroid hormones or endocrine-disrupting chemicals in cow milk.

As a vegan myself, I completely believe in this data, but I struggle to mechanistically understand how the hormones are implicated. In school, I learned that ingested proteins, hormones in this case, are denatured and cleaved into dipeptides, tri-peptides, and free amino acids before they are absorbed by the small intestine and make their way into circulation. If this is the case, how exactly are these hormones more responsible for these adverse outcomes than protein intake from other sources? I’d guess that it has something to do with auxiliary compounds from the dairy or that the hormone digestion results in the accumulation of undesirable amino acid ratios that promote the observed effects, but I’m not sure.
plant based, and "organic, " (preferably naturally grown ) is a suitable diet and drinking animal breast milk is detrimental to male and female sexual development.
most vegans are eating synthetic EDCS every day in their gmo and non organic products without caring.
even organic isnt always free of chemical input , but synthetci herbides are highly toxic to sexual development, they are basically synthetci female hormones
I seem to recall reading a previous study that stated that women who consume dairy products are more likely to conceive twins/multiples than women who abstain from dairy products, due to the hormones in milk. Is that shown to still be the case? This study seems to imply the opposite. Great video!
Growing up and into my early 30's I prolly drank about a gallon of bovine secretions, most weeks, myself- because that's what we do right- omg… always had bad/horrible cycles and now (vegan7 years) no cow hormone intake plus hormones are naturally dropping as I age, so now I suffer from horrible HORRIBLE menopause symptoms hot flashes and night sweats so bad I feel like Im in an oven wrapped in plastic – like all day long flashes and heart palpitations and panic attacks and gut issues from hormone imbalance- I swear it's a disability! I have to get hormone replacement therapy just to be able to walk around not drenched in sweat. .. oddly enough it didn't help me loose weight either lol. I always assumed I was infertile… from the awful Menzies I had, I wanted my lady bits removed in high school. I mostly have bad stories of doctor visits… Thankful for someone looking out for the actual greater good and sharing it. Thanks Dr. Greger.
So if you go all your life drinking cows milk then switch to being vegan and drink soy or other plant milk can you get pregnant then after stopping birth control pills and then having irregular periods to hardly any at all but no other diseases just diabetes and high cholesterol then and losing some weight slowly and being 34! Could you still have a baby then and father is healthy and 42 but both people on anti depression medication! And woman on insulin and diabetes medication! Asking for friend here not myself! Everything else on them as far as know is fairly healthy!

I have a friend whom I suspect is sensitive to the hormones and estrogen in dairy. I became suspicious when she said one of her daughters has debilitating menstrual cramps. I remember a video where Dr. Barnard said milk and animal products can increase menstrual pain. Now I find out my friend hasn't had a proper menstrual cycle for about a year and a half. She's 48 so maybe that's normal? But when she goes to the doctor and asks if she's in menopause, they claim she isn't. So I'm wondering if she's getting a false positive because of all the junk she eats.
Makes me laugh when people won't drink soya milk because of the hormones,which are only plant ones and have a protective effect.Dr Greger has a video on this topic too.
Women currently struggling with fertility might want to stay away from these comments. This video in general is going to be hard, since they don’t know enough yet to help.
Thank you Dr Greger, you are the king of epidoodiology I will pass the information onto my Swiss Grandmother who couldn’t have children because of her milk drinking culture. I’m going out now to buy some of this pant milk which has flooded the shelves in supermarket just in time of you telling us milk is bad.

Please debate Dr. Paul Saladino live, it’ll be great viewing and a great way to demonstrate cognitive performance. Let’s ‘put it to the test’
Interesting video Dr. Greger! I’m wondering a video about the connection between Alzheimer Disease and Diabetes. Someone else?
I love milk though. 😢

Bottom line: humans aren’t meant to eat dairy.
I prefer videos without the doctor in it 😁 prefer the voice over. Very distracting.
Thanks Dr. G….!

I like the sound of "robust ovaries" 😎
Wonder if this has anything to do with menstrual cramps.

this guy looks as about as healthy as you can get hahahahhaha
Are there any links between animal products and hair loss? If so, could you do a video on that?
Thank you for the amazing work, Dr. Greger & the team!
how to gain weight on a vegan diet without adding food that bloats you like legumes?
Like the new style. I can see you!

@ 3:38 Dr. Greger says let's look at the graph of non-smokers! Whoops! Anyone else catch that?
