Regular consumption of milk with bioactive hormone content may influence endocrine balance in women. Epidemiological data link non-fermented milk intake with higher leptin levels and cardiovascular risk markers.

For Indian women, chronic exposure to elevated dietary leptin may contribute to:
Metabolic syndrome
Type 2 diabetes
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)
Hormonal and reproductive dysfunction.(PCOD)
While milk remains nutritious, source quality and moderation matter. Choosing hormone-free or A2 milk, and diversifying calcium sources, supports healthier endocrine function.
