" Elizabeth Whelan, ACSH ________________________________ TRASH FROM ACSH There's a hole in your milk bucket, dear Liza, dear Liza... There are also holes in your pro-dairy press release, dear Liza Whelan. There is an organization calling itself the American Council on Science and Health, or ACSH (rhymes with cash), and they've just issued their version of how one should celebrate June as National Dairy Month. ACSH was founded by Elizabeth Whelan in 1978, and their successful strategy has been to act as mouthpiece for those companies and industries willing to donate funds to push their agendas upon the American public. ACSH has been a strong supporter of Monsanto's genetically engineered bovine growth hormone, and that should be no surprise when one investigates their financial records. In 1992, Monsanto gave ACSH $105,000. ACSH promotes biotechnology because it remains a top priority in their bottom line intere$t$ to continue to do so. In addition to Monsanto, they've received major funding from DuPont and Dow Chemical, two of the world's largest biotech firms. DuPont owns Pioneer Hybred, the largest GMO seed company in the world. Where else does ACSH get funding? Their sponsors include Burger King and the American Meat Institute. Follow the money trail, and it leads directly to Kellogg's Cereal, Carnation Milk, Hershey's, Land O' Lakes, and America's largest dairy processor, Kraft. June is the month of calling in favors, and here's what ACSH did for dairy: http://www.acsh.org/publications/story/milk/index.html " What's the Story? The Role of Milk in Your Diet. What Are the Benefits of Milk? " ACSH repeats the usual dairy propaganda. Despite having real science, despite contrary evidence, ACSH promotes the calcium myth and ignores the fact that the nations consuming the most milk and dairy also have the highest rates of bone disease. ACSH also takes this opportunity to bash those reporting the real science by writing: " Some extremist groups have claimed that milk is not a good food for infants and children...They claim that milk can cause or contribute to a wide variety of health problems-including heart disease, diabetes, prostate cancer, allergies, and infant colic-and that hormones in milk are causing early puberty in girls. " ACSH agrees that saturated fat does not do the arteries any good. They suggest that one select the low-fat dairy options. Imagine pizzerias responding to requests for low-fat pizza. ASCH writes: " Heart Disease. It is sometimes claimed that milk is bad for the heart because it is high in saturated fat. However, you do not have to eliminate milk from your diet in order to reduce your saturated fat intake. Instead, choose fat-free or reduced-fat milk and dairy products. " Remarkable use of the English language. " It is sometimes claimed... " SHOW THIS TO A FRIEND OR RELATIVE WITH PROSTATE CANCER The ultimate of arrogance. Here is what Elizabeth Whelan wrote: " Even if future research shows that the link between milk and prostate cancer is real, it is not likely that experts will ever advise men to stop drinking milk. " Whelan must have gotten her degree from the Borden School of Compassion. Lizzie Borden, that is. THE ULTIMATE IN DENIAL It seems that Whelan has not left her home or office recently. One simply has to visit a mall or school yard and take note of the figures of little girls who mature much earlier than their mothers did. Whelan writes: " Early Puberty in Girls. Experts aren't sure whether girls really are entering puberty earlier. " Whelan's final paragraph is a prostitute's paid tribute to the man paying her way: " Most of the health concerns that have been raised about cows' milk appear to be based on misconceptions or incomplete understanding of the facts. There is one important, scientifically justified health concern about milk, however-the fact that many children and adolescents are not drinking enough of it.
