I got an email question that stumped me! Mom says she is always careful to
buy only organic dairy products for her baby (12 mo) because she is worried
about the BGH in regular commercial dairy.  But she wants to know if he
will be getting it anyway through her milk as long as *she* is
eating/drinking regular milk products that may contain hormones??  Anyone
know if so and is it a significant amount?

My hunch is it would be a very minor amount, as with other hormones a mom
might get thru oral contraceptives etc.  But do we know for sure?
