Guest guest Posted August 14, 2000 Report Share Posted August 14, 2000 MILK MADNESS >FSnet, August 14, 2000 The Halifax Herald http://www.herald.ns.ca/cgi-bin/home/displaystory?2000/08/14+127.raw+Letters John McKay of Amherst writes that the short-sightedness exemplified in the letter, Good for bones (Aug. 7) illustrates the lack of rational forethought among those who ought to know better. Calcium is indeed essential for bone and tooth development, but one can get it from eating plaster, if need be. Of all the mammals on the planet, only humans use milk in their diet after they are weaned. Feeding milk to other adult animals will make them sick. How do these people explain the healthy, robust human cultures that do not use dairy products, yet are not calcium deficient? The Chinese spring to mind. Milk and concentrated milk products have probably devastated the innards of more people than they ever helped. Infants require milk because of their explosive growth, when nothing except milk, short of eating plaster, would suffice. After that, milk is contraindicated. What the suckle babies tout isn't even human milk, for heaven's sake. What manner of race are we, that we must never be weaned to be healthy? Milk and its products are commodities of business, not health. The adult human system did not evolve to accept them without consequences, and good health is not one of them.
