I'm afraid I have no idea about sheep. To: Autism-Biomedical-Europe Sent: Friday, 13 April 2012, 9:46 Subject: Re: If you need a better reason not to drink cow's milk (particularly from a pregnant cow)....

I found a study showing how cow's milk protein binds with zinc. Zinc is associated with acne and anyway boys have a higher need for zinc (testes, sperm production). So theoretically, yes, milk could produce acne.

Could this also be a cause of really bad acne? My grandson has

always drunk a lot of milk and is suffering terribly with acne,

and my sister's step grandson is in hospital on an antibiotic drip because he is covered with acne.

Just a thought! Too much interfering with hormones now.
