I thought if that, but This is a Canadian study.

Canadian diary industry is very different from the US, so it's not obvious that you'd find hormones in the milk (there are per cow milk production quotas). Certainly not in the quantities found in US milk.

Do you have a source for this?
on what? The production quotas are my only factual claim.

But here's wiki

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dairy_farming_in_Canada

(The national post had a great series of articles about it. The Canadian newspaper sided with Trump against Canada's diary industry.)

Btw, Milk costs double in Canada than in the states. Tastes better though (well sour cream and yoghurt do. I hate milk). On the other hand cheese is much better in the states cause I can afford the European stuff here (100% import tarriff???) and there is more diversity in aisles.

As to the hormone part of my OP, no claim, at least no strong claim, was made. I just pointed out that, if your production is restricted, it doesn't make sense to pump your cows full of hormones.

Yes, I meant the dairy farming. I'm just curious about it, not questioning you personally :) I had never heard about it before.
Sorry, I read it like an aggressive "citation needed"
