Yes... milk is Mother Nature's " perfect food " ...for a calf... until

it is weaned.

Everything you know about cow's milk and dairy is probably part of a

Dairy industry MYTH.

Cow's milk is an unhealthy fluid from diseased animals that contains

a wide range of dangerous and disease-causing substances that have a

cumulative negative effect on all who consume it.

MILK'S BASIC CONTENTS

*ALL* cow's milk (regular and 'organic') has 59 active hormones,

scores of allergens, fat and cholesterol.

Most cow's milk has measurable quantities of herbicides, pesticides,

dioxins (up to 200 times the safe levels), up to 52 powerful

antibiotics (perhaps 53, with LS-50), blood, pus, feces, bacteria and

viruses. (Cow's milk can have traces of anything the cow ate...

including such things as radioactive fallout from nuke testing ...

(the 50's strontium-90 problem).

LEADING CAUSES OF DEATH IN AMERICA

10 25,192 Liver Disease (think alcohol and other toxins)

(2a and 7a were added for completeness)

(note: Number 13 on the CDC list is -18,272 Homicide & Legal

Intervention-. It is curious that the CDC would readily list law

enforcement and homicides... and not the 250,000 deaths caused by the

medical system!)

CANCER FUEL

Of those 59 hormones one is a powerful GROWTH hormone called Insulin-

like Growth Factor ONE (IGF-1). By a freak of nature it is identical

in cows and humans. Consider this hormone to be a " fuel cell " for any

cancer... (the medical world says IGF-1 is a key factor in the rapid

growth and proliferation of breast, prostate and colon cancers, and

we suspect that most likely it will be found to promote ALL cancers).

IGF-1 is a normal part of ALL milk... the newborn is SUPPOSED to grow

quickly! What makes the 50% of obese American consumers think they

need MORE growth? Consumers don't think anything about it because

they do not have a clue to the problem... nor do most of our doctors.

(See http://www.notmilk.com/igf1time.txt for a time line)

QUANTITY

Each bite of hard cheese has TEN TIMES whatever was in that sip of

milk... because it takes ten pounds of milk to make one pound of

cheese. Each bite of ice cream has 12 times ... and every swipe of

butter 21 times whatever is contained in the fat molecules in a sip

of milk.

MONSANTO AND rbGH (Posilac)

Monsanto Chemical Co., maker of fine poisons such as DDT, agent

orange, Roundup and more... spent around half a billion dollars

inventing a shot to inject into cows... to force a cow to produce

MORE milk (for an already glutted taxpayer subsidized market).

Unfortunately, they created *FIVE* errors in their Frankenstein

Posilac (rbGH) shot that direly affected all test animals... but that

important report (Richard, Odaglia & Deslex, 1989) has been hidden

from everyone under Clinton's Trade Secrets act. The Canadians read

enough of this report (before it was stolen) to reject rbGH for their

country.

Monsanto's Posilac creates additional IGF-1 in milk: up to 80% more.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) insists that IGF-1 is

destroyed in the stomach. If that were true, the FDA has proven that

breast feeding cannot work. Common sense says their " finding " is

ridiculous because this growth factor DOES make the baby calf grow

(rapidly, as mother natured intended). Visit the Dairy Education

Board at http://www.notmilk.com/deb/100399.html to review a DAIRY

study that confirms what the FDA has lied about this for years.

IGF-1 INCREASES

This study involved two groups. One group consuming 12 ounces of milk

a day and the other consuming the USDA recommended allowance of 24

ounces (three cups). This report notes that the participants

consuming 12 ounces more milk per day... HAD A 10% RISE IN IGF-1 IN

THEIR BLOOD SERUM! Now, consider that PER DAY, from ALL sources, the

typical milk/dairy consumer ingests approximately 39% of daily diet

from dairy... and that 10% increase becomes the " tip of the iceberg " .

We have NO idea of the non-dairy versus full-dairy difference but

considering cancer rates... it has to be significant.

FAT

Whole milk 49% of the calories are from fat.

" 2% " milk 35% of the calories are from fat.

Cheddar cheese 74% of the calories are from fat.

Butter 100% of the calories are from fat.

Most folks suspect that butter is all fat. Most folks have no concept

of the just how much fat is in the rest of milk and dairy. Perhaps

the 54% of Americans who are obese need to comprehend that milk, ice

cream, cheeses, yogurts, and all the OTHER products that use milk

derivatives (casein, whey, lactose, colostrum) are most likely a

significant cause for their weight and health problem.

CALCIUM

Calcium? Where do the COWS get calcium for their big bones? Yes...

from plants! The calcium they consume from plants has a large amount

of magnesium... necessary for the body to absorb and USE the calcium.

The calcium in cow's milk is basically useless because it has

insufficient magnesium content (those nations with the highest amount

of milk/dairy consumption also have the highest rates of

osteoporosis. Proof? How about a controlled study of 78,000 nurses

over a period of 12 years?

Read more about it at:

http://www.notmilk.com/deb/030799.html Article on the 78,000 nurse

study

http://www.notmilk.com/deb/092098.html CALCIUM AND BONE DISEASE

http://www.notmilk.com/badbones.html WHO GETS BONE DISEASE?

http://www.notmilk.com/bonehead.txt CRIPPLING BONEHEADS

http://www.notmilk.com/calcium/index.html Consolidated info

Cows milk has three times the calcium as does human breast milk. No

matter, neither are very usable because in order to be absorbed and

used their MUST be an equal quantity of MAGNESIUM (as exists in the

greens that cows eat to get all the calcium they need for their big

bones). Milk has only enough magnesium to absorb around 11% (33mg per

cup) of calcium.

Per the USDA 8 ounces (one cup) of cows milk contains:

Calcium, Ca mg 291.336

Magnesium, Mg mg 32.794

The USDA recommends 1200mg of calcium per day. The USDA recommended

three cups of milk a day only have 900mg of calcium. Some argue that

only 1/3 of the magnesium is necessary. Mother nature seems to

suggest it should be one to one. If the ratio for proper absorption

were 1/3 magnesium to one calcium then no more than 300mg of that

900mg of calcium is usable. If, in fact, it is a one to one ratio...

only 98.38mg of calcium is usable.

It is not a matter of how much calcium one ingests... but how much

one does not lose.

PROTEIN

Milk can be thought of as " liquid meat " because of its high protein

content which, in concert with other proteins, may actually LEACH

calcium from the body. Countries that consume high protein diets

(meat, milk and dairy) have the highest rates of osteoporosis.

THE 'WHOLESOME' PROTEIN MYTH

87% of milk is water. That makes it VERY expensive water.

Broken down into its basic groups... WHOLE MILK is:

WATER FAT CASEIN OTHER PROTEIN

87% 3.25% 4% 1% 4.75

(note: that is 3.25% " milkfat " which includes the 87% water.)

80% of the protein in milk is casein. Casein is a powerful binder...

a

polymer used to make plastics... and a glue that is better used to

make

sturdy furniture or hold beer bottle labels in place. It is in

thousands of processed foods as a binder... as " something " caseinate.

Casein is a powerful allergen... a histamine that creates lots of

mucus. The only medicine in Olympic athlete Flo-Jo's body was

Benedryl,

a power antihistamine she took to combat her last meal... pizza.

For the whole Flo-Jo story:

http://www.notmilk.com/deb/092198.html,

http://www.notmilk.com/deb/111598.html and

http://www.notmilk.com/deb/112398.html for the whole story.

BACTERIA

Cow's milk is allowed to have feces in it. This is a major source for

bacteria. Milk is typically pasteurized more than once before it gets

to your table... each time for only 15 seconds at 162 degrees

Fahrenheit.

To sanitize water one is told to boil it (212 degrees F) for several

minutes. That is a tremendous disparity, isn't it!

Keep in mind that at room temperature the number of bacteria in milk

DOUBLE around every 20 minutes. No wonder milk turns rotten very

quickly.

PUS

ONE cubic centimeter (cc) of commercial cow's milk is allowed to have

up to 750,000 somatic cells (common name is " PUS " ) and 20,000 live

bacteria... before it is kept off the market.

That amounts to a whopping 20 million live squiggly bacteria and up

to 750 MILLION pus cells per liter (bit more than a quart).

1 cup = 236.5882cc 177,441,150 pus cells ~ 4,731,600 bacteria

24 oz (3 glasses) = 532,323,450 pus cells ~ 14,220,000 bacteria

(the " recommended " daily intake)

The EU and the Canadians allow for a less " tasty " 400,000,000 pus

cells per liter.

Typically these levels are lower... but they COULD reach these levels

and still get to YOUR table.

CHOLESTEROL

The cholesterol content of those three glasses of milk is equal to

what one would get from 53 slices of bacon. Do you know of any doctor

who recommends that much bacon per day?

KOSHER

Is cow's milk and dairy " Kosher " ? Consider this:

" D-3 always is derived from an animal. The sunlight reaction that

converts 7-dehydrocholesterol to vitamin D-3 is a 'pure' chemical

reaction that occurs in your skin in certain cells. "

" The provitamin known as 7-dehydrocholesterol is extracted and

isolated from the skins of mammals and purified. " (Marian Herbert of

the Vitamin D Workshop U of C)

Vitamin D-3 can come from four different sources:

Pig skin, sheep skin, raw fish liver, and pig brains. Most of the

time, Vitamin D-3 is extracted from pig skin and sold to dairy

processors.

Short answer to " is milk kosher " - probably not.

OTHER 'STUFF'

Fat and cholesterol. Lots of it. Per the dairy influenced USDA " food

pyramid " all milk, dairy and meats should represent no more than 8%

of the diet. Statistically, by volume of sales in a nation of 281

million Americans, it works out to almost 40% of the diet for MILK

AND DAIRY.. without the meat.

The milk of each of the over 4,700 mammals on earth is formulated

specifically for that species. There are special lactoferrins and

immunoglobulins (cow specific immunizing stuff) that in humans serve

as allergens.

LEUKEMIA

According to Hoards Dairyman (Volume 147, number 4)... 89% of

America's dairy herds have the leukemia virus. (more at

notmilk/message/835)

DIABETES

The protein lactalbumin, has been identified as a key factor in

diabetes (and a major reason for NOT giving cows milk to infants).

CROHN'S DISEASE

Mycobacterium paratuberculosis causes a bovine disease

called " Johne's. "

Cows diagnosed with Johne's Disease have diarrhea, and heavy fecal

shedding of bacteria. This bacteria becomes cultured in milk, and is

not destroyed by pasteurization. Occasionally, the milk-borne

bacteria will begin to grow in the human host, and the results are

irritable bowel syndrome and Crohn's Disease.

MAD COW DISEASE

There may also be prions (pronounced PREons) in the milk and meat.

This is crystalline substance that acts like a virus... with

an " incubation " period of from 5 to 30 years. The end result is MAD

COW DISEASE!

HOMOGENIZATION

Large fat molecules cannot get through the intestinal wall into the

bloodstream. The cream no longer rises... because homogenization

breaks up those large molecules into small ones that DO get into the

bloodstream! This becomes an expressway for any fat-borne toxins

(lead, dioxin's, etc.) into your (otherwise) most protected organs.

CUMULATIVE EFFECTS

How does this impact humans who consume cow's milk and dairy? Obesity

(over 50% of Americans and rising), heart disease, cancer, allergies,

digestive problems, diabetes, asthma, desensitization to antibiotics,

behavioral problems, and the constant ingestion of dioxin's,

herbicides, pesticides (and anything else the cow eats that is not

good for any critter), that winds up getting stored in HUMAN fat...

is not healthy by any measure.

Those who resist believing the truth should understand that MOST of

the world's population CANNOT tolerate the lactose in cow's milk. Up

to 95% of the black population, around 53% of the Hispanics, etc.) So

much for cow's milk being " natures perfect food " for humans! Mother

nature knows better.

Common sense question: Where was this massive " milk is a must " before

refrigeration, pasteurization and mass transportation? Back when cows

gave only 1-4 pounds a day it was quickly made into BUTTER and

cheese! Now that those same cows have been tweaked and shot-up with

Posilac to produce up to 55 or more pounds of milk per day... almost

all year long... it is suddenly (after many thousands of years) a

daily " staple " . NOT!

POLLUTION

There are around 9.2 million dairy cows in the United states. Each

dairy cow ingests around 330 pounds of feed (perhaps 50 pounds) and

water (around 280 pounds or 33 gallons) per day. Allowing for the

best dairy production of 55 pounds of milk per day (over ten times

what mother nature designed the cow to produce) that means that what

remains becomes " slurry " .

That means around 275 pound of urine and feces per day... per cow,

for a daily total of 2.53 BILLION pounds of pollution. Per year...

that amounts to around 923 billion pounds of UNTREATED pollution

entering our streams, rivers, lakes... and drinking water systems.

Cows are hot-blooded mammals. Like all other mammals they pass gas.

Somewhat like elephants their compartmented digestive system is

rather inefficient... which leads to the creation of MORE gas. During

a Discovery Channel documentary on elephants a parting quip was that

the average adult elephant passes enough methane gas per day to run a

car about 20 miles.

Cows are not much better. The English New Scientist (page 5 -31.8.96)

mentions that cattle produce around 48 kilograms (105 pounds) of

methane each per year and that more bubbles out of the animals'

manure. Dairy cows eat more because they produce milk. With 9.2

million dairy cows times a minimum of 100 pounds of methane gas per

year... that amounts almost a billion pounds of methane gas released

into the atmosphere each year. With around 100 million beef cattle...

pigs, sheep, and other " factory farmed " animals it should not be

difficult to fathom the extent of this problem.

This means that " Beef is a greenhouse-intensive food " and a major

cause of global warming (with dairy a significant part of the

problem).

Another major point is:

" Milk is a very strong pollutant: it is about 400 times more

polluting than untreated sewage. To put it another way, 1,000 gallons

of milk has the same polluting potential as the untreated sewage from

a town of 7,000 people. " Morlais Owen. Chief Scientist for Welsh

Water. North Wales Weekly News. 24.3.88.

SOME QUESTIONS ANSWERED

Q: What is WHEY?

A: Whey results when the FAT and CASEIN are removed from milk.

In making cheese, the curds become the cheese.

Whey's main components are bovine serum albumin and lactalbumin.

There are other hormones contained in whey.

Q: What happens to the:

59 hormones, scores of allergens herbicides, pesticides, dioxins

up to 52 antibiotics

When made into cheese?

A: Everything gets concentrated.

When made into butter?

A: The allergens get lost: but the dioxin's and

pesticides and antibiotics remain in the fat.

In the digestive system?

A: Steroid hormones survive, as do dioxins and antibiotics.

In homogenized milk, protein hormones survive... depending upon the

gastric pH, some protein hormones in cheese survive, but not all...

eleven steroid hormones survive.

AND WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?

Eventually, everything is broken down, but not before the chemical

messengers (hormones) " deliver their message. "

Each of those hormones and proteins acts differently and has

different rates of degradation. BOTTOM LINE... they all survive to a

certain degree... and the effects are cumulative.

OTHER HEATH-TRASHING SUBSTANCES IN COW'S MILK

Whey: Blood proteins. Bovine serum lactalbumin has been identified as

a trigger for diabetes and other autoimmune diseases.

Lactose: Two sugars. Glucose and galactose. Galactose has been

indentified as a trigger for glaucoma. There are several columns that

cover lactose (covering galactose and galactosemia):

QUOTES

" It's not natural for humans to drink cow's milk. Humans milk is for

humans. Cow's milk is for calves. You have no more need of cow's milk

than you do rats milk, horses milk or elephant's milk. Cow's milk is

a high fat fluid exquisitely designed to turn a 65 lb baby calf into

a 400 lb cow. That's what cow's milk is for! " --Dr Michael Klaper MD

" I no longer recommend dairy products after the age of 2 years. Other

calcium sources offer many advantages that dairy products do not

have. " --Dr. Benjamin Spock

Say 'No Way' To

Milk Whey Protein

From Robert Cohen

notmilk

9-8-2

 

After fat and casein are removed from milk, dairy processors are left

with whey protein. Whey is composed of bovine blood proteins. Serum

albumen. Lactalbumen. Dead white blood cells. Hormonal residues

including estrogen and progesterone.

The body's reaction to a foreign protein is to destroy that antigen-

like invader with an antibody. For those individuals unfortunate

enough to possess a genetic pre-disposition to such an event, the

antibody then turns upon one's own cells. That is what is known as an

auto-immune response.

In the case of diabetes and Multiple Sclerosis (MS), the body's

response to whey proteins is to attack the outer membrane protecting

nerve cells, or the myelin sheath.

It has long been established that early exposure to bovine proteins

is a trigger for insulin dependent diabetes mellitus. Researchers

have made that same milk consumption connection to MS. The July 30,

1992 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine first reported the

diabetes autoimmune response milk connection:

" Patients with insulin dependent diabetes mellitus produce antibodies

to cow milk proteins that participate in the development of islet

dysfunction... Taken as a whole, our findings suggest that an active

response in patients with IDDM (to the bovine protein) is a feature

of the auto-immune response. "

On December 14, 1996, The Lancet revealed:

" Cow's milk proteins are unique in one respect: in industrialized

countries they are the first foreign proteins entering the infant

gut, since most formulations for babies are cow milk-based. The first

pilot stage of our IDD prevention study found that oral exposure to

dairy milk proteins in infancy resulted in both cellular and immune

response...this suggests the possible importance of the gut immune

system to the pathogenesis of IDD. "

THE MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS/MILK CONNECTION

The April 1, 2001 issue of the Journal of Immunology contained a

study linking MS to milk consumption.

Michael Dosch, M.D., and his team of researchers determined that

multiple sclerosis and type I (juvenile) diabetes mellitus are far

more closely linked than previously thought. Dosch attributes

exposure to cow milk protein as a risk factor in the development of

both diseases for people who are genetically susceptible. According

to Dosch:

" We found that immunologically, type I diabetes and multiple

sclerosis are almost the same - in a test tube you can barely tell

the two diseases apart. We found that the autoimmunity was not

specific to the organ system affected by the disease. Previously it

was thought that in MS autoimmunity would develop in the central

nervous system, and in diabetes it would only be found in the

pancreas. We found that both tissues are targeted in each disease. "

MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS

Multiple sclerosis affects approximately 300,000 Americans. Two-

thirds of those diagnosed with MS are women. Most researchers believe

that MS is an autoimmune disease. Auto means " self. "

WHO DOES NOT GET MS?

It is interesting to note that Eskimos and Bantus (50 million

individuals living in East Africa) rarely get MS. Neither do those

native North and South American Indian or Asian populations who

consume no cow's milk or dairy products.

WHO GETS MS?

The British medical journal Lancet reported that dairy-rich diets

filled have been closely linked to the development of MS. (The Lancet

1974;2:1061)

A study published in the journal Neuroepidemiology revealed an

association between eating dairy foods and an increased prevalence of

MS. (Neuroepidemiology 1992;11:304Â-12.)

MS researcher, Luther Lindner, M.D., a pathologist at Texas A & M

University College of Medicine, wrote:

" It might be prudent to limit the intake of milk and milk products. "

Women are targeted by dairy industry scare tactics that offer

misinformation regarding osteoporosis. Two-thirds of MS victims are

women. As milk and cheese consumption increase along population

lines, so too does an epidemic number of MS cases. The numbers add

up. The clues add up. The science supports epidemiological studies.

Got diabetes? Got MS? The milk connection has been established.

Whey protein? Say no way!
