Another label you may see is “no hormones” or “hormone-free”. This is usually in regards to milk or meat products and is actually incorrect, since all animals naturally produce hormones. Hormones are what helps an animal (even a human) regulate body organs, have young, and otherwise function. All meat products have hormones. What the labels really mean is that there are no artificially added hormones; these are sometimes given to animals to increase milk production and meat bulk. While common in the USA, in Europe there are restrictions on added hormones in animal husbandry, because of the unknown effects on us in the long term.

There is increasing evidence that the higher numbers of xenohormones in our environment, from hormone treated foods, pollution, chemical pesticides & multiple other sources,  are already apparently affecting the age of puberty in our children, the incidence of PMS and polycystic disease, and early perimenopausal symptoms. It makes sense to keep these to a minimum.

Wishing you Health and Wellness!
