Yes it is true. Also EATING cows, pigs, chickens, etc will do the same thing.

Milk is a product that is needed by babies. As a baby grows, milk provides much of the nutrition it needs, as well as actually helping the growth of the brain through its high levels of cholestrol. After age 12 the body's need for milk is over. Drinking small quantities of milk wont hurt you, particularly low fat milk. The hormones that exist in milk are not good for you, however you can buy natural hormone free milk.

If that were the case, there would be a highly incidence of breast cancer because cow's milk is what babies have been drinking for well - for eons.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer-related death among women in most of the Western world and the leading cause of death for women under 50. It strikes about 182,000 women in the U.S. each year and kills 46,000. Consuming dairy products is linked to an increased risk for breast cancer because dairy products are high in fat, animal protein, and hormones, each of which increases cancer risk. Since the 1980’s, study after study has linked dairy consumption to a high incidence of breast and other cancers. Women seeking to minimize their chances of breast cancer should avoid milk, other dairy products, and meat.

No. However, soya milk contains hormones known as phyto-oestrogens, which act in the same way as oestrogen in a woman's body, and thus soya milk increases the risk of breast cancer if consumed in large volumes.

All animals wean their offspring off of milk, only humans continue to drink it as adults, go figure.

I think it is not true
It is very difficult for those hormones to get in to your body via your gut
