fair comment about existing hormones. Adding the modifier 'added' makes my statement more accurate, but misses the criticism of drinking milk at all due to the inherent levels of hormones. I am biased to assume the concern was about added hormones because it's a specific problem addressed by Canadian laws.
That said, if you think the science supports the case for limiting oestrogen intake in our diets, a practical step might be to lobby for limits to the use of those hormones in dairy production (like most other western countries) as a first step. Trying to somehow have people stop consuming dairy products seems like a much larger hurdle, limiting it's effectiveness in actually reducing consumption of those hormones.
