Dear Lactnet Friends:

Tricia  raises some interesting points about hormones in milk.

The WHO mentioned the impact of hormones in milk on the baby in their
questioning of the safety of Depo-Provera given in lactation.

One of the reasons that children develop early puberty is that meat is
raised using antibiotics and hormones to speed the growth of the baby
animal.

Some research raises concerns about the impact of hormones used in
conception technology on the woman and on her baby.  Here's a few of them:

​"​
WIDER IMPLICATIONS OF THE FINDINGS

In light of the findings in the present study, further studies should be
made on risk of CNS and ovarian cancer, and continued monitoring of all
those treated with ART is encouraged. Our findings may only be
generalizable to women who give birth after ART, and the risk for women who
remain nulliparous after ART remains to be assessed.

-"They
​ (NL:

babies born via IVF) ​
have a much higher frequency of being low birthweight and this results in a
higher tendency to be obese, a higher risk of type 2 diabetes and
hypertension when you reach 50 years old," Sapienza told the annual meeting
of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in San Diego
<http://news.aaas.org/> yesterday.

​Tricia Shamblin's questions are important ones; we don't know the impact
of the hormones taken to make one's outside appearance match one's inside
sense of self. We don't know the impact of hormones taken to induce
lactation on babies receiving that milk.
