MILK -- NATURE'S NOT-SO PERFECT FOOD

According to the U.S.D.A, nearly 40% of the food that the average
American eats consists of milk or dairy -- that makes for one very
lopsided food pyramid!

* If you are the average American, today, from the combined total of
milk, cheese, butter and other dairy products, you will eat 161 mg of
cholesterol, the same amount contained in 53 slices of bacon.  That will
add up to the equivalent cholesterol in 19,345 slices of bacon this year
and, by age 52, the same cholesterol contained in 1 million slices of
bacon!

* Milk is loaded with protein!  80% of that protein is casein, the same
tenacious glue used to hold your furniture together, and the adhesive
used to hold the paper label to a bottle of beer.  Dr. Spock, America's
greatest pediatrician, described casein as the primary cause of mucous,
congestion and childhood earaches.

* Cancer?  There are studies that the dairy industry refuses to release-
-evidence that are bigger secrets than any ever revealed by the
cigarette industry.  Thousands of things cause cancer, but one hormone
that you naturally produce is the key factor in the growth of each human
cancer, particularly breast cancer.  There are millions of hormones in
the animal kingdom, but only one hormone that is exactly alike between
two species.  That hormone is called insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1)
and is an exact match between humans and cows.  When drinking a 12-oz.
glass of milk, you double the amount of that hormone in your body--a
hormone described by scientists and scientific journals as the key
factor in cancer's growth and proliferation.

* Milk contributes to heart disease * Milk is a poor source of calcium *
A hormone in milk is the key factor in every human cancer * Milk reduces
the effectiveness of antibiotics * Pasteurization does not work * Milk
consumption is the link to asthma * A milk protein causes diabetes * The
dairy industry spends hundreds of millions of dollars to brainwash
consumers * A milk additive caused cancer in lab animals and the FDA
will not release the incriminating study

  Milk has 59 bioactive hormones (perhaps the worst is insulin-like
growth factor one [IGF-1]... which is identical between cows and humans,
and extra amounts in our bodies might be thought of as cancer "fuel
cells"), up to 52 residual antibiotics (and they only test for a few),
allergens, blood, feces and the above.  Check out
http://www.notmilk.com/ (notmilk) for particulars... and
http://www.notmilk.com/deb/index.html for lots of additional proof.

   Calcium?  Where do the COWS get it?  Yes... from greens!  The calcium
in cows milk is basically useless because it does NOT have magnesium,
which is essential for the body to use that calcium (those nations with
the highest amount of milk/dairy consumption have the highest rates of
osteoporosis... to go along with high rates of heart disease and other
fat/allergen related diseases).

   MILK: 87% of milk is water.  80% of the protein in milk is casein...
better used as a glue for furniture or to fix labels on beer bottles.
This protein may, when added to all the other protein the average
American consumes, atually help to LEACH calcium from ones bones...
which helps to explain the high rate of US osteoporosis.

   IGF-1 is a normal part of ALL milk... the newborn is SUPPOSED to grow
quickly!  What makes the 40% of obese American consumers think they need
MORE growth?  They don't think anything about it because they are not
told about it.

   Monsanto's Posilac creates additional IGF-1 in milk, almost twice as
much per 12 ounce glass.  Only twice as much (of a powerful growth
hormone)?  OK... try out some math.

   It takes TEN pounds of milk to make one pound of hard cheese.

   Now... that means that each slice of cheese from BGH treated milk has
almost 20 times as much of this growth factor as a simple 12 ounce glass
of milk.  Pasteurization does NOT destroy IGF-1.  If that process was
truly effective, it would not have to be repeated several times just to
reduce the bacteria before the milk gets to consumers.

   Where was this massive "milk is a must" before refrigeration,
pasteurization and mass transportation?  Back when cows gave only 1-4
quarts a day (while lactating) it was made into BUTTER!  Now that those
same cows have been tweaked and shot-up with Posilac to produce 50 or
more quarts a day... almost all year long... it is suddenly (after many
thousands of years) a daily "staple".  NOT!

   MILK: What a surprise!
