I googled this and the very first article that came up was a news item from the Harvard Gazette.
Hormones in milk can be dangerous
Cows are milked up to 300 times per year and are often pregnant while being milked. The farther along into pregnancy a cow is, the higher its estrogen levels are, and this is passed along through the milk. We get 60-80% of our estrogen from dairy sources.
Pregnant cows produce up to 33x more estrogen than non-pregnant cows.
The takeaway is that - even if lungs is right and cows are not being pumped full of estrogen, they still produce enough in their own right to have some cause for concern.
