A lot of milk gives me spots.

qvsr46ofgc792k

As the title suggests, I am just wondering if I started buying organic milk would that be the solution. Like I believe its the hormones in the milk causing the problem, but is it the hormones that are added "by man" or is it the hormones that the cow produces naturally?
Anyone have an idea?

i posted on tis on the other thread

Tigger sez:

i have suffered from spots on and off most of my life i cut. i cut out milk completely then i brought in only orgainc then i'm back to the three litres of tesco cheapo milk and 've never seen a difference.

long time ago the doc told me that its just hormones probablt testosterone and that unless i wanted to take anti hormones or antibiotics that i had to live with it.

drink loads of water and accept that good things often have negatives like bad things have positives

Somewhat OT, but just by way of information, unless you're getting your milk from the US (or Mexico), there are NO artificial or manmade hormones in it or used in its production.
bST (bovine somatotropin), the naturally occurring hormone replicated under the brand name 'Posilac' to prolong and increase lactation in dairy cows, has been unavailable to purchase in the EU since 1990, and was specifically banned in 2000.

Are you sure about that?
Wasnt there a big campaign about the ammount of hormones being pumbed into dairy cows in Netherlands?
And I also heard Tesco milk contains added homones?

Trial and error!

Be doubtful if there is hormones added. Hormones were banned years ago. And any tracies of antibiotics or foreign bodies etc found in milk tanks when tanker driver collects milk from farm is sent for analyses. The farmer ends up paying for any cock ups.

Hormones were used years ago to fatten up cattle bigger heavier for human consumption. Dairy cows wouldnt need hormones for that purpose.

Green green grass is what irish cattle are feed on


Thats my take on it...

I've genuinely never heard of either of these incidences, and my rudimentary Google skills aren't finding anything on them for me either.
Do you know of any reputable online sources of information on this that I could take a look at?

Unfortunately no. The cows in Netherlands was on tv a few years back and tbh I wasn't paying much attention. And as for tesco I was told that by a make up artist. I couldn't find anything online myself.

I do get spots from milk that I know, I'm just wondering why. I want to continue drinking it.

People are saying there is nothing added and it leaves me a little confused because if that is the case why then is there organic milk?

Doctor: Then don't do that

:pac:

But seriously OP, think you might just have a little issue with milk, doubt organic would make a difference but sher give it a go and let us know.

A lot of people who have issues with milk don't seem to have any with yoghurt. You could ferment your milk into kefir which is like very thin yoghurt if you really want a dairy drink.
