There are so many types of milk out there these days, and I'm only talking today about

cow's milk, not talking about human milk or soy milk, and I always thought soy milk was just

regular milk trying to introduce itself in Spanish.

But when it comes to cow's milk, most of the cows that are being milked are pregnant,

and as a result, they have high hormones like high levels

of estrogens and progestions and other hormones which doesn't mean it's automatically bad but

we have to recognize that there are increased hormones in milk and even those that are pregnant

or are not pregnant often the cows that that are being milk are bred to produce

high levels of IGF1. And IGF1 is also known as insulin-like growth factor 1, which is a very

anabolic hormone, meaning it will make you bigger and stronger if you consume it. And that's

why a topic like this can be kind of hard,

because there's a lot of people out there who buy supplements to increase IGF1 and want that effect,

and others who would say, oh my gosh, I don't want that kind of anabolic hormone effect.

IGF1 stimulates almost every cell in the body to grow, it's actually the benefit of growth hormone,

meaning you release growth hormone from the anterior pituitary, or if you take growth hormone

supplementation illegally, then IGF1 is released from the liver, and it promotes this growth

effect throughout the body. I certainly have and will

continue to argue it's a bad idea to supplement growth hormone or IGF1 stimulators and

there are a lot of those out there other than growth hormone. And the reason I would recommend

against it is the evidence is pointing towards this stimulation of cell growth

also can stimulate cancer growth and short in life. Yet that being said, I think it's way too

premature to say that the plasma increases in IGF1 from cow's milk is a dangerous thing. I don't think
