I’m sorry, Leonora. I hope you’re licking the cancer. As a raw, grass-fed proponent, you got me to research this. I found this: foodforbreastcancer.com…

It does include grass-fed milk and mentions various studies (including grass-fed) concluding that high-fat milk likely does, indeed, raise the chances of breast cancer due to the hormone levels. Though one study said it’s inconclusive, questioning the methodologies. I’d have to say that this particular article was only dealing with pasteurized organic GF milk and in the text repeatedly conflated or equivocated the sort of milk they were talking about.

This thoroughly discusses all the hormones in raw GF milk: raw-milk-facts.com/horm…

Here’s a paragraph on estrogen:” The Estrogens: An important and often controversial class of steroid sex hormones including estradiol and estrone, usually associated with females, but present, and with important functions in males as well. Aside from their obvious influence on breast and uterine development, the estrogens (which are actually derived from the male sex hormones or 'androgens' testosterone and androstendione) bolster bone maturation, strength and density, regulate formation of sperm cells and play crucial roles in fat (lipid), circulatory, respiratory and nervous system metabolism. The trace amounts present in bovine milk are considered too low to exhibit any physiological activity. Progesterone, also present in raw milk, has an inhibitory effect on the estrogens. Estradiol: 160 pg/ml, Estrone: 34-55 pg/ml”

Note especially the last two sentences.

There may be other factors at play here, and I do not want to diminish your ordeal and courageous battle in any way; But I really want to get at the facts. It might help you as well.

So, question — and please forgive me if you find this intrusive or offensive and do not feel obligated to respond: You said you’d checked all the boxes and I’d like to know what that means. It would help me and others sort this out, as perhaps others can be helped by knowing.

Thank you & may God Bless and heal you.
