Is milk really "good for you? Short answer, no. Dairy products are a serious health concern and major cause of disease according to all of the medical establishments around the world.
April 29, 2006 (Press Release) --
I had a heated discussion recently with a relative over milk. She swears by milk “haven’t you seen the “got milk commercials” or the food pyramid, our own government wouldn't push milk on us if it weren't good for us, that’s common sense” was the gist of her argument. Being that I have a medical background and am well read on most of the latest medical studies and findings, I know for a fact there are very serious health issue associated with milk, but I couldn't convince her. . So this week, our newsletter is on milk. (This is for you Sara) Side note: If you live in a dairy state, please don’t hold this article against the owners of Ionic Zone, they didn’t want me to offend you guys but agreed to let me print this because he said the health of our customers trumps losing a few bucks in the dairy states.
Let me first address the argument she made about our government looking out for our health. In 99 of 100 cases, the “government” is only concerned about money. They protect tobacco growers, dairy growers, etc because “the government” and “big business” are one in the same. The dairy industry spend over 170 million a year in advertising and rakes in over 11 billion dollars a year. That’s big business! If everyone knew the truth about milk and dairy products, a lot of people would be out of work and Uncle Sam can’t have that!
Most knowledgeable doctors universally advise against milk consumption. Why? Many reason. Cow’s milk first of all was made to wean a baby cow, not a human. Mothers milk has much less protein as humans are much smaller than cows. Then there is the issue of homogenization. Normal fat cannot penetrate the walls of our intestines. Cows fat is homogenized which in essence spins it around super fast and makes the fat molecules tiny, so tiny that can go right through our intestinal walls into our blood where they do a great job of clogging our arteries and causing heart disease, among other things. Another issue, hormones. Our little girls are menstruating at much younger ages these days due to more milk consumption and more hormones being pumped into cows. Childhood leukemia is much higher in the dairy producing states. Here are some facts to consider. I pulled these facts off the Internet:
According to Hoards Dairyman (Volume 147, number 4)... 89% of America's dairy herds have the leukemia virus.
Dairy cattle are infected with bovine immunodeficiency viruses (BIV) and bovine leukemia viruses (BLV), worldwide. (Bovine immunodeficiency viruses can also be properly referred to as bovine AIDS viruses.)
• In the United States, results show an average 40% of beef herds and 64% of dairy herds are infected with BIV.5
• In Canada 6-7, the infection rate is 70% and in Argentina 8 the rate is 84% for BLV.
• Herds infected with the BIV are usually infected with the leukemia virus (BLV) also. 5
• Both viruses can cross species lines thus infecting other animals, like sheep, goats, and chimpanzees – and they develop disease. 5
• Nationwide and worldwide, leukemia is more common in the higher dairy consuming populations. 9,10
• An increased incidence of leukemia has been found among dairy farmers in multiple studies. 11-14
• BIV infection has been reported in a person. 15
• The bovine leukemia virus has been classified in the same group as the Human T-cell Leukemia/Lymphatic virus type 1 (HTLV-1), which is known to cause leukemia and lymphomas in humans (Adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma). 16
• BIV is structurally and genetically closely related to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) type-1 (the virus causing human AIDS). 17
• Pasteurization kills many types of microorganisms, but it is not foolproof. There is also concern that pasteurization may break the viruses into fragments that may become even more dangerous. 18
Also from the Internet search of leukemia and children, I found this sad story:
A 7 week old boy, was admitted to the Arkansas Children's Hospital because of vomiting and a dramatic increase in head size. During the mother's pregnancy, she was stated as being extremely cautious about her nutrition and personal habits. She did not drink alcohol or smoke tobacco and had no known exposure to toxins in her work environment as a store clerk. She did, however, begin drinking more than one-half gallon of milk a day during pregnancy and continued drinking milk after delivery. It was later reported that the milk products she was drinking from her local dairy contained unacceptably high levels of the pesticide heptachlor due to feeding of livestock with heptachlor contaminated feed. Heptachlor is a primary ingredient in the pesticide chlordane and has been used in agriculture and as a termite treatment for homes.
After entering the hospital at 7 weeks of age, her child was diagnosed with a gliosarcoma brain tumor. Family members have shown no incidence of brain tumors so hereditary factors were ruled out. Genetic mutations were detected in the cancer cells but not in other cells of the child's body. The researchers stated these chromosome abnormalities are detected in about 50% of all gliosarcomas and that heptachlor has tested positive for mutagenic properties. The researchers also quoted another study appearing in the journal CANCER, 48:774, 1981, which found high levels of chlordane and heptachlor in the blood of 13 childhood cancer cases
Next, lets take a peek at an expert from Milk: The Deadly Poison by Robert Cohen 317 pages containing 336 references with some fascinating facts on milk:
Each sip of milk provides you with:
"Pituitary hormones (PRL, GH, TSH, FSH, LH ACTH Oxytocin)
Steroid hormones (Estradiol, Estriol, Progesterone, Testosterone,
17-Ketosteroids, Corticosterone, Vitamine D)
Hypothalamic hormones (TRH, LHRH, Somatostatin, PRL-inhibiting
factor, PRL-releasing factor, GnRH, GRH)
Thyroid and Parathyroid hormones (T3, T4, rT3, Calcitonin,
Parathormone, PTH peptide)
gastrointestinal peptides (Vasoactive intestinal peptide, Bombesin,
Cholecystokinin, Gastrin, Gastrin inhibitory peptide, Pancreatic
peptide, Y peptide, Substance P and Neurotensin)
Growth Factors (IGF's (I and II), IGF binding proteins, Nerve growth
factor, Epidermal growth factor and TGF alpha, TGF beta, Growth
Inhibitors MDGI and MAF, and Platelet derived growth factor
Others... (PGE, PGF2 alpha, cAMP, cGMP, Delta sleep inducing
peptide, Transferrin, Lactoferrin, Casomorphin and Erythropoietin
In Short...
Growth hormones, fat, cholesterol, allergenic proteins, blood, pus, antibiotics, bacteria, virus and more as it is sponsored, in part, by Monsanto, WestAgro, and Pioneer Hi-Bred International, Inc..
Did you know that. ..
* Milk is the foundation of heart disease and the explanation for America's number one killer.
• Milk is the reason that one out of six American women will develop cancer of the breast.
• Twenty-five million American women over the age of forty have been diagnosed with bone crippling arthritis and osteoporosis. These females have been drinking in excess of two pounds of milk per day for their entire adult lives. Why are their doctors blind to the fact that drinking milk does not prevent osteoporosis?
• Calcium in milk is not adequately absorbed and milk consumption is the probable cause of osteoporosis.
• Milk is responsible for allergies, colic, colitis, earaches, colds and congestion in young children. Research indicates that one bovine protein in milk destroys the insulin-producing beta cells of the pancreas, causing diabetes.
• Sixty Percent of America's dairy cows have leukemia virus. Is it wise to eat the flesh or drink body fluids from diseased animals?
• The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) used to allow a small amount of antibiotics in milk. FDA scientists recognized that consumers should not be drinking a fluid containing antibiotics. In 1990, the one part per hundred-million antibiotic residue in milk standard was increased by one-hundred times to one part per million. As a result, new strains of bacteria developed, immune to the 52 different antibiotics found in milk. Antibiotics no longer work because Americans have been drinking milk and eating dairy products containing increased amounts of these powerful drugs and, in addition, new strains of emerging diseases.
Beer bellies are indeed making a comeback in America. According to the Food Consumption, Prices and Expenditures, 1996, Statistical Bulletin Number 928, published by the USDA, the average American consumed 24 gallons of beer in 1994. That works out to less than 8 1/2 ounces of beer per day. Total milk and dairy products consumed per capita in 1994 equaled 26 ounces per day, more than triple the amount of beer. One 12 ounce glass of beer contains 144 calories and no fat. On the other hand, a 12 ounce glass of milk contains 300 calories and 16 grams of fat. It seems that beer is taking a bad rap. Protruding stomachs on overweight people should be called milk bellies, not beer bellies.
When we drink milk we are taking in the most powerful growth hormone naturally produced in our own bodies. However, this growth hormone in milk is safeguarded by naturally occurring mechanisms unique to milk. That hormone is called Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and it is identical (70 amino acids, same gene sequence) in cows and humans."
I don’t mean to beat a dead horse, but the fact is that the 170+ million dollar a year pro-milk propaganda campaign (got milk?) has so brainwashed American’s that it does take an all out anti-milk “debriefing” in order to perform a successful " milk intervention" so to speak. The bottom line is this. If you really want to get rid of your allergies and improve your breathing and health, put down the glass of milk and step back!
