An online space for the vegans of Lemmy.

Rules and miscellaneous:

  1. We take for granted that if you engage in this community, you understand that veganism is about the animals. You either are vegan for the animals, or you are not (this is not to say that discussions about climate/environment/health are not allowed, of course)
  2. No omni/carnist apologists. This is not a place where to ask to be hand-holded into veganims. Omnis coddling/backpatting is not tolerated, nor are /r/DebateAVegan-like threads
  3. Use content warnings and NSFW tags for triggering content
  4. Circlejerking belongs to /c/vegancirclejerk
  5. All posts should abide by Lemmy's Code of Conduct

Why would milk have oestrogen.

Are you... serious? They have no problem with it BECAUSE they are baby animals! The hormones are IN THE MILK FOR THE BABIES. That's WHY babies drink milk, why mothers ONLY PRODUCE MILK FOR BABIES, why no other creature on earth drinks the milk of a mammal when they are not a baby. Like holy fuck, how do people think mammals work??

Cows are often pregnant while they are milked, so dairy milk contains hormones like insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1), estrogens, and progestins. Some cows are given additional hormones to increase milk production.
