Süt ve süt ürünleri zengin besin içeriği sayesinde günlük olarak belli bir miktarda tüketilmesi önerilen besin grubudur. Üretim teknolojisindeki gelişmeler sonucunda ineklerin daha sık gebe kalması ve daha uzun dönemlerde süt elde edilmesi sağlanmaktadır. Gebe ineklerin serum hormon profilinde görülen değişiklikler sütte de gözlemlenmektedir. Bu çalışmada gebe olan ve olmayan inek sütlerinde bulunan östrojen ve progesteronun kadın sağlığına etkisini inceleyen çalışma sonuçlarının gözden geçirilmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Literatürde inek sütünün östrojen ve progesteron içeriğini inceleyen çalışmalar gebelik durumu belirtilen ve gebelik durumu belirtilmeyen olarak iki farklı şekilde sınıflandırıldı ve östrojen (Estron, Estradioller ve Estriol), progesteron miktarları ayrı ayrı incelendi. Günlük en fazla alınabilecek eksojen hormon miktarı ve konu hakkındaki literatür verileri bu amaç doğrultusunda değerlendirildi. Sonuç olarak eksojen olarak farklı kaynaklardan alınan östrojen ve progesteronun, başta kadınlarda olmak üzere, bir dizi hastalık ile ilişkilendirildiği görüldü. Bu bağlamda, gebe inek sütünün sağlık üzerindeki etkilerinin farkındalığı sağlanarak önlemler konusunda alternatif yaklaşımlara dikkat çekildi.

Milk and dairy products are a food group that is recommended to be consumed in a certain amount daily, thanks to their rich nutritional content. As a result of developments in production technology, cows become pregnant more frequently and milk is produced for longer periods. Changes in the serum hormone profile of pregnant cows are also observed in milk. In this study, it is aimed to review the results of studies examining the effects of estrogen and progesterone in pregnant and non-pregnant cow milk on women's health. Studies in the literature examining the estrogen and progesterone content of cow's milk were classified into two different categories as pregnancy status specified and non-pregnancy status specified and estrogen (Estrone, Estradiols and Estriol) and progesterone amounts were analyzed separately. he maximum amount of exogenous hormone that can be taken daily and literature data on the subject were evaluated for this purpose. As a result, it was observed that exogenous intake of estrogen and progesterone from different sources is associated with a number of diseases, especially in women. In this context, awareness of the effects of pregnant cow's milk on health was raised and attention was drawn to alternative approaches to precautions.
