Hi all,

A friend of mine is donating breast milk to a cancer patient. This milk is 
consumed raw, within a week of being expressed. The donor is having some 
mild hormone problems involving hair loss, acne, ovarian cycts (excessive 
testosterone levels). She is worried about passing the hormones onto the 
recipient of the milk. 

It was my understanding that hormone levels in the milk drop quickly after the 
milk is expressed but can't for the life of me remember where I heard it OR find 
any reference to it online. 

Ideas? references? all input is greatly appreciated!

Thanks!
