A had a problem with acne and I don't drink milk. I still get zits in very
embarrassing locations like on the end of my nose.
Maybe because I am in the presence of dairy drinkers and it is second hand
exposure.
I have also noticed that women's breast have been getting larger in recent
years and I attribute it to the hormones not only in milk but in chicken
also. Is it because they feed the chickens milk or is it because they give
the chicken birth control pills? I doubt the later otherwise how can they
get more chickens.
