Are hormone residues in meat and milk causing human reproductive health problems in the U.S.?

I have also heard that they are making children hit puberty earlier than they are supposed to and i know that i started my period at ten and had been in full puberty for a while before that and we ate alot of beef i also had two really hard pregnancy and one that was good but now i have ovarion cysts and other problems wow i hadn't really ever thought about it all being connected to that though hmmmm something to think about by the way i am 28

I have wondered about this myself. Interestingly enough, I was a vegetarian in my teens and although I eat fish and chicken now I do not eat any beef. I've always been quite slim even though I pretty much eat what I want and my breasts never grew as large as the other women in my family. However, most of my other family members have struggled with their weight and they all eat red meat. I wonder if this is not a coincidence? By the way, I have read that it's a misconception that chickens are fed steroids and hormones as growth stimulants. It's really beef that is the problem.

I eat regular beef and milk with all the extra hormones and I've never had a reproductive health issue.

I believe the FDA compared organic (hormone-free) milk and milk that contained hormones and couldn't tell the difference at the microscopic level, which is why regular milk is still available.

While hormones may be contributing to the rise in ovarian cysts or other reproductive problems, we also have to consider the possibility that diagnosis methods have improved over the past 20 years. Also, women problem see the gynecologist more now than at any other time.
