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. 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.
USE
LIQUID NUTRITION AND NEVER BE DEFICIENT
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".
