Guest guest Posted May 3, 2005 Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 DAIRY AND MUCUS PRODUCTION JoAnn Guest May 02, 2005 21:22 PDT The American Dairy Association has a new marketing campaign that may oneday replace their successful milk mustache campaign. The Dairy Education Board welcomes the opportunity to reveal the secret powers of concentrated milk. HOW MUCH CHEESE DO AMERICAN'S EAT? In 1970, the dairy industry produced 2.2 billion pounds of cheese. The population of the United States was 203 million, which translates to 10.8 pounds of cheese per person. By 1990, America's population had grown to 248 million, but Americans were eating more cheese, 6 billion pounds worth! That's an average of 24 pounds per person. In 1994, according to the USDA, the average American consumed 27.7 pounds of cheese. America's rate of cheese consumption is skyrocketing. As we approach the new millennium, America's per-capita cheese consumption will break the 30-pound per person level. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) allows 750 million pus cells in every liter of milk (about two pounds). In Europe, regulators allow 400 million pus cells per liter. France and Italy are known for their magnificent cheeses. Perhaps that's the secret Since it takes 10 pounds of milk to make one pound of cheese, a pound of cheese can contain up to 7.5 billion pus cells. If your American cheese is sliced so that there are 16 slices to a pound, that single slice of American or Swiss can contain over 468 million pus cells. Eighty percent of milk protein consists of casein, a tenacious glue. Casein is the glue that is used to hold a label to a bottle of beer. Try to scrape off one of those labels, then consider the effects of casein in your body. Casein is the glue that holds together wood in furniture. Behold the power of glue and behold the power of horrible bowel movements. Casein is a foreign protein and your body reacts to its presence by creating an antibody. That antibody-antigen reaction creates histamines. Anti-histamines (like Benadryl) are used to counter the effects of histamines. Mucus and phlegm are produced as a result of cheese consumption. Mucus congests internal body organs. Mucus creates phlegm. The average American lives his or her life with a gallon of mucus clogging the kidney, spleen, pancreas, tracheal-bronchial tree, lungs, thymus, etc. Imagine not eating cheese or any other dairy product for just six days. An internal fog will lift from your body as the mucus leaves. Eat just one slice of pizza on day seven, and twelve to fifteen hours later, the mucus will return. Got Gorgonzola? Got glue! In the name of science, the dairy industry sponsors studies in which people drink milk. These laboratory subjects then answer surveys about what the insides of their mouths feel like. Biased dairy scientists then conclude that milk and dairy products cause no mucus. BEHOLD THE POWER OF AUTOPSY Florence Griffith Joyner had undigested cheese in her stomach fifteen hours after eating pizza. Her internal organs were acutely congested with mucus and her neck revealed finger marks from where she tried to choke herself, gasping for breath. Behold the power of a killer. Got Mozzarella? Got mucus! BEHOLD THE POWER OF HORMONES Every sip of milk has 59 different powerful hormones. Which ones do you want your little girls to take? Estrogen, progesterone or prolactin? In her lifetime, as a little girl becomes a big girl, then a mature woman, she will produce the total equivalent of one tablespoon of estrogen. Hormones work on a nanomolecular lever, which means that it takes a billionth of a gram to produce a powerful biological effect. The average American now consumes nearly thirty pounds of cheese each year. That product contains concentrated hormones. One pound of cheese can contain ten times the amount of hormones as one pound of milk. Nursing cows were never supposed to pass on cheese to their calves. They were, however, designed to pass on hormones, lactoferrins, and immunoglobulins in liquid milk to their infants. Got Romano? Got raging hormones! See (http://www.notmilk.com/deb/072698.html) on hormones. BEHOLD THE POWER OF ANTIBIOTICS Got American cheese? Got antibiotics. Consumers Union and the Wall Street Journal tested milk samples in the New York metropolitan area and found the presence of 52 different antibiotics. Eat ice cream, yogurt, and cheese toppings, and you're also consuming antibiotics. Cows are fed chicken feces as supplemental protein. The droppings are baked and sanitized but the heat process does not destroy the hormones in chicken feed. Got Parmesan? Got penicillin! In February of 1999, the Land of Lakes Company recalled nearly four hundred thousand cases of cheese products from supermarkets in every one of America's 50 states. Cheese makes a remarkable culture medium for bacteria, which stay alive for up to six months. This year's recall was due to listeria. Eat listeria and it can take up to 45 days for you to get sick. Would you make the connection? Cheeses can also contain mycobacterium paratuberculosis which causes diarrhea and irritable bowel syndrome. Forty million Americans are so affected. Got Colby? Got colds! Got Danish cheese? Got diarrhea! BEHOLD! The power of cheese!

Salmonella can remain viable in butter for up to 9 months. b) According to the New England Journal of Medicine, listeria organisms excreted in cow's milk " escape pasteurization, grow well at refrigerator temperatures, and are ingested by consumers. " c) According to leading food journals, curing alone may not be a sufficient pathogen control step to eliminate Salmonella, listeria, and E. coli from cheese. A drop of sour milk may contain more than 50 million bacteria. d) All of the above 14) Lactose intolerance affects 75% of the world's population. Symptoms include bloating, flatulence, abdominal pain and diarrhea. An effective cure for eliminating lactose intolerance is: a) Having elective stomach-staple surgery, tying off your intestines, and satisfying future nutritional needs by intravenous feeding. b) Investing your assets in a portfolio that includes the Pampers diaper company and Johnson's baby powder, buying a year's supply of adult stay-dries, and drinking all the milk you want. c) Taking an antidote, lactaid, so that you may tolerate the poison, milk. d) Don't drink your milk. 15) Normal cows become Mad Cows after: a) Their mothers force them to drink three glasses of human breast milk each day. b) They witness their mothers and sisters being loaded onto packed trucks and shipped to slaughterhouses. c) They are injected with genetically engineered hormones that swell their udders to painful proportions which require three milkings per day. d) They are fed blood meal, bone meal, and flesh from their relatives. 16) Nutritionists and food scientists agree: Humans need to eat protein.

Which ONE is NOT true? a) Countries with the highest rates of osteoporosis, such as the United States, England, and Sweden, consume the most milk. China and Japan, where people eat much less protein and dairy food, have low rates of osteoporosis. b) Osteoporosis is caused by a number of things, one of the most important being too much dietary protein. Dietary protein increases production of acid in the blood which isneutralized by calcium mobilized from the skeleton. Increasing one’s protein intake by 100% may cause calcium loss to double. c) Data from the 12-year Harvard study of 78,000 women indicate that women consuming greater amounts of calcium from dairy foods had significantly increased risks of hip fractures, while no increase in fracture risk was observed for the same levels of calcium from nondairy sources. d) American women have been consuming an average of two pounds of milk per day for their entire lives, yet thirty million American women have osteoporosis. Therefore, drinking milk prevents bone loss. 1 Dioxins are highly toxic by-products of industrial processes including chemical and municipal waste incineration. These compounds penetrate the environment via air, water and soil and are then incorporated in food chains. The level of dioxin in a single serving of the Ben & Jerry’s World’s Best Vanilla Ice Cream tested was almost 200 times greater than the safe daily dose determined by the Environmental Protection Agency. What did Ben Cohen of Ben & Jerry’s fame have to say regarding dioxins? a) " Our containers are environmentally friendly, and dioxin- free, so just dump the ice cream, and eat the container. " b) " I just had quadruple bypass heart surgery. Please put your question in writing, and I’ll have my staff get back to you. " c) " We never realized you'd be supremely nuts to continue eating our Natural Nutty-Nuts Supreme Surprise. " d) Before the test) : " The only safe level of dioxin exposure is no exposure at all. " (After the test) : " It's in the environment. " 19) Do pesticides end up in milk, cheese, and butter? Which one of the following statements is NOT accurate? a) A 1988 FDA survey of milk samples from grocery stores in 10 cities found that 73% of the samples contained pesticide residues. b) More than 2,200 samples of cow's milk were tested in India, and 85% of the samples contained pesticides levels above human tolerance limits. c) The pesticides chlordane and heptachlor cause cancer, harm the immune system and are endocrine disruptors. Dairy cattle in Oahu were fed pineapple leaves containing heptachlor residues. As a result, the local milk and dairy supply remained contaminated for years. d) According to the National Fluid Milk Processors, no pesticide residues have ever been found in milk and dairy products. 20) Milk contains somatic cells, which are dead red and white blood cells. Another name for somatic cells is " pus cells. " America's Food and Drug Administration sets the legal standard for the allowable number of pus cells that can be sold in milk. One liter of American milk may contain no more than: a) 75 hundred pus cells b) 75 thousand pus cells c) 75 million pus cells d) 750 million pus cells 21) Which of the following statements did not appear in the British medical journal Lancet? a) Hypersensitivity to milk is implicated as a cause of sudden death in infancy. b) Those infants who died of SIDS expressed inappropriate or inflammatory responses suggesting violent allergic reactions to a foreign protein. Lung tissue and cells showed responses similar to bronchial wall inflammation in asthma. c) Those who consumed cows milk were fourteen times more likely to die from diarrhea-related complications and four times more likely to die of pneumonia than were breast-fed babies. Intolerance and allergy to cow's milk products is a factor in sudden infant death syndrome. d) Children under the age of two years who consume more that one-pint of fortified brandy before going to bed are prone to sudden infant death. 22) On March 23, 1971, Secretary of the Treasury, John Connally said to President Richard Nixon (recorded on a Watergate tape) : " These dairymen are organized, they're adamant, they're militant, and they're massing an enormous amount of money that they're going to put into political activities. " What motivated Connally to make this statement? a) Dairy reps had placed the severed head of a dairy cow in Nixon's bed, making him an offer he couldn't refuse. b) Richard Nixon had just been presented with a compromising surveillance photo of JFK, RFK, and Marilyn Monroe sporting what appeared to be the dairy industry's first milk mustache ad. c) President Nixon had just been given a $10 gift certificate to Dairy Queen from dairy industry representatives in the Oval Office. d) President Nixon had just been given a $3 million cash gift from dairy industry representatives in the Oval Office. 23) Children are taught in first grade that Vitamin D is the " sunshine vitamin. " Vitamin D is a steroid hormone and is synthesized in one's body after skin is exposed to sunlight. Which statement about vitamin D is NOT true? a) Adults need 10-15 minutes of sunlight, two or three times a week to ensure proper Vitamin D levels. b) Vitamin D is toxic in overdose. Consuming as little as 45 micrograms of Vitamin D-3 in young children has resulted in signs of overdose. Testing of 10 samples of infant formula revealed seven with more that twice the Vitamin D content reported on the label, one of which had more than four times the label amount. c) Vitamin D increases aluminum absorption, and high aluminum levels in the body may cause an Alzheimer's-like disease. d) If boys and girls do not drink milk with Vitamin D added, when they turn 40, their bones will become brittle, and break, and they'll need hip replacement surgery. 24) What has NOT been identified as a cause of acne? a) Acne occurs when steroids (androgens) stimulate the sebaceous glands within the skin's hair follicles. These glands then secrete an oily substance called sebum. When sebum, bacteria and dead skin cells build up on skin, the pores become blocked, creating acne. b) About 80 percent of cows that are giving milk are pregnant and are throwing off hormones continuously. Progesterone breaks down into androgens, which have been implicated as factor in the development of acne. Hormones found in cow's milk include: Estradiol, Estriol, Progesterone, prolactin, and oxytocin. c) The Journal of Endocrinology studied the effects of growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factors (IGF-1) , alone and with androgen, on sebaceous epithelial cell growth. IGF- I was the most potent stimulus of DNA synthesis, contributing to the increase in sebum production during puberty. d) Acne is caused by frogs, sugar, snails, spice, puppy dog tails, and everything nice. 25) What is NOT true about the vegetarian NOTMILK lifestyle? a) According to the Journal of the American Dietetic Association, there is a positive correlation between a vegetarian diet and reduced risk for obesity, coronary artery disease, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and cancer. b) According to the British Medical Journal, vegetarians often have lower mortality rates from several chronic degenerative diseases than do non-vegetarians. Significant athersclerosis is rare in peoples whose diet over the life span is predominantly vegetarian and low in calories, saturated fat, and cholesterol. c) According to the Journal of the American Medical Association, vegetarian diets low in fat or saturated fat have been used successfully as part of comprehensive health programs to reverse severe coronary artery disease. d) Vegans live an average of two decades less than meat- eaters and milk drinkers which is just fine with carnivores, who are saved from having to listen to twenty or more years of irritating lecturing, preaching, and bragging. SCORE YOUR TEST RESULTS Let's make this process really simple, shall we? D is the correct answer for all 25 multiple-choice questions. D as in " duh. " Unfortunately, there might be some of you who have been drinking cow's milk since childhood, so you still don't get it, and may never get it. Award yourself four points for each correct response. If you scored 88 or better, you are either a vegan (eat no animal flesh and drink no body fluids) or a professional cheesehead. You know milk issues like few people do. You are to be congratulated for your wisdom! If you scored between 72 and 84, you haven't been paying attention to the real science contained in Milk A-Z. Go back and study! If you scored between 52 and 68, you've passed…barely, but only because we're grading on a curve. Go sit by yourself in a quiet little corner and repeat over and over again the following mantra: “Pus with hormones and glue…pus with hormones and glue…pus with hormones and glue.” Use this visualization the next time you are tempted to slurp ice cream, munch cheddar, or drown yourself in a tub of melted butter. If you scored below the 50th percentile, instruct your attorney to re-write your last will and testament and leave your estate to your doctors. They'll ultimately end up with most of your money, anyway. Heart disease claims the lives of nearly two out of three Americans, and cancers account for one out of every three deaths. The average American spends ten years dying from coronary-related events or carcinomas. What you don't know about milk may kill you. The healthy alternative? Discover the fountain of youth: NOTMILK! If you scored under 25, you've got very little hope remaining. You are an udderly absurd excuse for a human, and have earned the right to continue to consume body fluids from diseased animals. If you are still ambulatory, treat yourself to Domino's Pizza for dinner and slurp Ben and Jerry's ice cream for dessert. Set your alarm clock for a 12-hour wake up call. This might be your last chance, so pay attention to your body's signals. If your internal sludge and congestion do not convince you, nothing ever will. Order MILK A - Z!
