ARE YOU SURE YOU WANT TO DRINK COW'S MILK?

 

Calcium: Green leafy vegetables are alkaline foods. Plants such as kale, and collard greens are better than milk as calcium sources. Rural Asians eat little to no dairy and lots of dark greens. They have virtually no osteoporosis or obesity whereas Americans have the highest dairy and the highest cases of osteoporosis and obesity.

Fat Content: Dairy products are high in fat, as a percentage of total calories. The fat found in cow's milk products is saturated fat, which is linked to LDL cholesterol and Heart disease. The consumption of fat from eggs and dairy products has also been strongly linked to osteoporosis, Alzheimer's, asthma, and male impotence.

Iron-Deficiency: Milk is very low in iron.  To get the U.S. Recommended Dietary Allowance of 11 milligrams of iron, an infant would have to drink more than 22 quarts of milk each day.  Milk also causes blood loss from intestinal tract, depleting the body's iron. Regular milk is very low in iron and children become iron deficient. Toddlers get full from all the milk that parents give them and therefore they’re not eating iron-rich foods.

Diabetes: In a study of 142 children with diabetes, 100 percent had high levels of an antibody to a cow's milk protein.  It is believed that these antibodies may destroy the insulin-producing cells of the pancreas.

 

Contaminants: Milk is frequently contaminated with antibiotics and excess vitamin D.  In one study of 42 milk samples tested, only 12 percent were within the expected range of vitamin D content.  Of ten samples of infant formula, seven had more than twice the vitamin D content reported on the label, and one had more than 4 times label amount.

Lactose: 3 out of 4 people are unable to digest milk sugar lactose, which then causes diarrhea and gas,  The lactose sugar, when digested, releases galactose, a simple sugar that is linked to ovarian cancer and cataracts. This may be why the world's most drank milk is goat's milk.

Allergies: Milk is one of the most common causes of food allergy.  Often the symptoms are subtle and may not be attributed to milk for some time. 

Colic: Milk proteins can cause colic, a digestive upset that bothers one in five infants.  Milk-drinking mothers can also pass cow's milk proteins to their breast-feeding infants. Cow's milk is best drank by "baby cows".

 In Australia, a study of children who had diabetes found that children given cows milk formula in the first three months were 52% more likely to develop diabetes than those not fed cow's milk. Breast fed infants had a 34% lower incidence of diabetes than infants fed cow's milk formula. A recent Reuter's report stated that Cow's milk allergy persists longer than previously reported, and the majority of children may retain the sensitivity into school age, study findings suggest. Only 19% outgrew their allergy.
