the great escape: all about milk :)

[Guest guest]

Most of the problem with milk is that it's pasteurized. When milk is

first produced, it's raw. This means it has all of the enzymes

necessary for its optimum digestion, and all of the nutrients are

still intact. Enter pasteurization. It's been a loooong time since I

researched this, so I forget what all it entails, but just suffice it

to say that when milk (or juice or any substance) is pasteurized, many

of the enzymes are killed and the nutrients corrupted. Of course,

it's not just milk. The same can be said for juice, too. And try

getting anything that has NOT been pasteurized! It's hard, even in

the healthiest of health food stores! (I have found ONE brand of

juice to date.) Many states heavily regulate the production, and thus

the pasteurization, of milk. In many states, raw milk is not even

available. Other places must jump through heavy hoops to offer it.

Your best bet if you want raw milk is to raise a cow and produce the

milk yourself. No joke!

 

The next problem with milk is that it is obtained from

less-than-healthy cows that have raised in very close conditions, with

many circulating diseases, and have been shot FULL of antibiotics,

growth hormones, and the like. Cows' bodies can't process these alien

substances any more than ours can; their kidneys and liver are

overloaded too! So where do they go? Much like in our bodies, these

foreign toxins have no place to go except to accumulate in the tissues

and fluids! That's right, so you're drinking a bunch of steroids and

other drugs with each gulp of milk. (And also with each bite of

meat...and that goes for chicken, turkey, ham, and fish, too! And

don't forget eggs, butter, and cheese, either.) And then the

mainstream mega-conglomerate manufacturers have nothing better to do,

so they add blue food coloring to the milk (I can't imagine why--do

they think we want to drink blue milk?) It's not much, but it is

there. And back when I bought milk from the regular supermarket, I

would know when the manufacturers had done a sloppy job of cleaning

the equipment, because I got this good dose of chlorine smell & taste

in my milk! Yummmm....

 

Well, there IS a way out of the hormone & antibiotic trap, and that's

to go organic. That's what I've done. OK, I can't really get away

from pasteurization, but I sure can steer clear of the drugs &

steroids. And, I guess I can live with that.

 

A last word on milk: milk is processed in the duodenum. Everything

ELSE you eat is processed in the stomach and then the small intestine,

if my anatomy class serves me right. Thus, it's good to drink milk by

itself. Many ppl who have problems with milk have it with their

meals. Don't do this. Milk will curdle whatever else you eat. The

effect is subtle for most people and they won't really notice it, but

for some the effect is really dramatic. And whether you notice it or

not, it's not that great for you. So it's good to take it alone.

 

Hope this helps!

Hugs,

hi folks, all i can say about this is start reading this webbie, it

totally turned me off milk, no desire to drink it anymore and i feel

great! http://notmilk.com/ besides the sick cows, we seems to

react different to this liquid, europeans and african folks have

less and more tolerance for milk......anyhoo, i would rather juice

some veggies or fruit, i believe way healthier. thanks, rik
