Hormones in milk

When DD1 was around 14/15 I was advised to give her full cream milk instead of skim milk. Within a week she had acne on her face and beginning to appear down her back. I knew it was the milk because nothing else had changed in her diet, she reverted back to skim milk and it quickly cleared up. I believe milk is a cause of acne for some teenagers. If I was in that position now I would not give my children dairy. DD2 was highly allergic to dairy through her childhood, there are other foods.

Dairy without added hormones, still contains natural hormones. I can't see dairy as a healthy food and there are more healthy alternatives for calcium.

Elegran Thanks! I was fairly sure they had been banned in the UK long ago.

But by eating cheese and cream etc you would still be consuming the same milk with all it's benefits and potential hormones.

Thanks Anya. I'm not pushing her to drink milk but she mentioned seasonal increase. She's in Switzerland so they don't follow eu rules . Loads of broccoli then.
