Dairy is a big one, they feed antibiotics and hormones to the cows. There has been a trend in recent years to provide hormone and antibiotic free dairy.
If you look online you can find out about your brand. I eat fage brand and I also know stoneyfield brand is non hormone and non antibiotic.
This practice is still very common in all types of commercial animal barns, chickens, pigs, cows etc., but there is headway into understanding how bad this is for humans.
Phytoestrogens in some plant based foods like soy are still being researched. I think the jury is still out in my mind. I say this because one study will say yep it’s bad for breast cancer patients, the next study will say it is not. I find most of these studies are funded or ran by someone having an interest in the outcome. I do take in a little soy but I don’t drink soy milk or eat tofu or eat a lot of processed foods.
After I have rambled on 😂 now I should ask, what brand of Greek yogurt you love?

I think organic milk doesn’t have added hormones and biotics.

Yes, I have been interested in this because I am a milk addict and have always been. However, when I was diagnosed I went organic for everything (including milk). Drinking this amount of milk has served me well: Vit. D, Calcium -- neither of these dipped during treatment or after. I have good bone strength. I am just always sure that the brands I am using have no added hormones or antibiotics. We (in this country) also have to watch where our soy comes from.
