This is fascinating to me, not just because it's nonsense, but because it shows the disconnect between vague observational evidence and causal pathwayshttps://twitter.com/drmarkhyman/status/1295072903088701448 …

But this isn't hard and fast fact - we've got nutritional epi studies where people who report dairy have slightly different outcomes to those who don't, and mice whose hormones are a tiny bit different when they eat cheese

Now obviously that's a bit of a glib summation of the evidence, but it's also not entirely untrue. Is that enough to causally link cheese with hormone disruption?

To put it another way, there are dozens of plausible mechanisms that might explain the observed epidemiological finding that people who eat cheese are sometimes less healthy In that context, calling dairy a 'hormone disruptor' isn't really true

The point is, people feel compelled to explain the observation that dairy influences health, but we really have no idea if the actual proposed mechanism is true or just another red herring
