The Danger Of Milk

Learn What You Are Actually Drinking In Each Glass Of Cow's Milk

We have grown up drinking cow's milk thinking that it is perfectly safe and healthy to do so. The advertisement on TV made it seems cool to drink a glass of milk everyday for good health. Each glass of milk we down into our throat is thought to contain nutritious calcium and protein. It is thought to be the solution to osteoporosis and other illnesses.

Think again.

Dr. Robert M. Kadjian in his 'Famous Milk Letter' has given a lenghty discourse on the danger of drinking cow's milk. With the recent news of tainted milk endangering the lives of 53,000 infants in China (with 3 dead), you will do yourself a good favour by getting acquainted with the danger of cow's milk.

Dr. Kadjian wrote that there is no health reason that he can think of for drinking milk. He mentioned the increased risk in getting all sorts of cancer when you drink milk. There is also the contamination of milk from antibiotics, pesticides, chemicals and hormones.

Still, there are the 2 biggest myths of drinking cow's milk as a source of calcium and amino acids (protein).

Calcium

We are always thinking that calcium is good for building strong bones and preventing osteoporosis.

"And no doubt about it, milk is loaded with calcium. But is it a good calcium source for humans? I think not. These are the reasons. Excessive amounts of dairy products actually interfere with calcium absorption. Secondly, the excess of protein that the milk provides is a major cause of the osteoporosis problem. Dr. Hegsted in England has been writing for years about the geographical distribution of osteoporosis. It seems that the countries with the highest intake of dairy products are invariably the countries with the most osteoporosis. He feels that milk is a cause of osteoporosis." - Source

Drinking milk doesn't prevent osteoporosis! It's the CAUSE!

Well, you are asking, where do we get calcium from then?

"To answer the obvious question, "Well, where do you get your calcium?" The answer is: "From exactly the same place the cow gets the calcium, from green things that grow in the ground," mainly from leafy vegetables. After all, elephants and rhinos develop their huge bones (after being weaned) by eating green leafy plants, so do horses. Carnivorous animals also do quite nicely without leafy plants. It seems that all of earth's mammals do well if they live in harmony with their genetic programming and natural food. Only humans living an affluent life style have rampant osteoporosis." - Source

Protein

This is another health myth. You have been told to get a lot of protein to be healthy and strong.

"WHO (World Health Organization) estimated the need for protein in adults to be .6g/kilo per day." - Source

If your weight is 60kg, you only need a 36g of protein daily. This is just a small amount. And bear in mind that vegetable protein works as good as animal protein. Furthermore, vegetable protein has no cholesterol and less saturated fat.

"Therefore virtually all Americans, Canadians, British and European people are in a protein overloaded state. This has serious consequences when maintained over decades. The

problems are the already mentioned osteoporosis, atherosclerosis and kidney damage. There is good evidence that certain malignancies, chiefly colon and rectal, are related to excessive meat intake. Barry Brenner, an eminent renal physiologist was the first to fully point out the dangers of excess protein for the kidney tubule. The dangers of the fat and cholesterol are known to all. Finally, you should know that the protein content of human milk is among the lowest (0.9%) in mammals." - Source

If you think what you read here and in that letter is a shocker, wait till you read about what the dairy farmers do with newborn baby male calf. This is just the tip of an iceberg. There are other more shocking things happening that you don't see.
