Federal guidelines recommend that food with hormone content fall below 1% of endogenous production in the subset of the population with the lowest daily production. The majority of dairy products are obtained from pregnant cows, which increase the level of hormones present. The purpose of this article was to perform theoretical evaluation of the quantity of progesterone in cow's milk based on fat percentages and to assess whether this was within the recommended range. Daily recommended dairy product intake from various countries worldwide was researched. This was compared to the concentration of progesterone previously identified in varying fat contents of cow origin milk to assess the amount of progesterone (mg/day) that would be consumed if the guidelines were followed. The maximum daily progesterone consumption suggested will be met by ingestion of 2.7 L, 1.42 L, 1.13 L, 940 mL, 810 mL, 650 mL of 0% (skim), 1%, 2%, 3.25%, 10% (cream), and 35% (whipping cream) fat liquid cow origin dairy product, respectively. Therefore, ingestion of the highest amount of recommended daily dairy intake fell below 1% of the daily endogenous quantity produced, except in the unlikely case of consumption of 650 mL of 35% fat. Studies demonstrating an effect of cow's liquid dairy product intake may need to be revisited, since levels of progesterone consumption remain within the recommended levels. However, it should be considered that ingestion of cow's milk might have a potential effect on the hormonal profile in patients; however, this seems unlikely.
