By drinking human hormone juice and getting their hormones messed with. It’s good and helpful for babies.

The problem is that they give the cows growth hormone and high amounts of estrogen to encourage lactation and it's in the milk. I'm lactose intolerant like half of adults anyway so I do almond milk and olive oil butter personally.

None of those chemicals are allowed to be present in the milk of cows lactating for human consumption. They test the milk for those chemicals at the dairy. If any trace amount is found, the whole tanker is dumped as contaminated.

I don't know where you live but I have never ever heard about giving estrogen to cows to force lactation. Just as a reminder, cows produce milk after they got a calf.

That doesn't make any sense. Estrogen wouldn't even make a cow produce more milk. Are you confusing Estrogen with Prolactin? (which also isn't given to cows, but would at least have the effect you describe)

the fda has found no significant difference in milk from cows treated with rBST
