The problem is not that milk is a mammary secretion. After all, boys and girls both drink mother’s milk!

The problem is dairy practices that keep cows pregnant for 9 months out of the year, every year, and milk them for 10-11 months out of the year, every year. !!

When you operate a dairy on a more natural rhythm you don’t get the elevated pregnancy hormones in the milk.

This is one of the reasons why goat milk is healthier, because they don’t do the same to goats.
