In 1971 the American Heart Assoc. took on
the National Commission on Egg Nutrition in
court over ads placed in the Wall Street
Journal stating that there was no
scientific evidence that eating eggs, even
in small quantities, will increase the risk
of a heart attack. Judge Ernest G. Barnes
ruled that "There exists a substantial
body of competent and reliable scientific
evidence that eating eggs increases the risk
of heart attacks or heart disease...This
evidence is systematic, consistent, strong
and congruent."

"Most people have grown up believing
that dairy foods are healthy. This is
primarily due to outmoded conventional
wisdom but it is also the result of a
successful advertising campaign by the dairy
industry. In the face of scientific fact and
common logic, they have convinced most of us
that calves' food is essential for good
human nutrition." Toronto

"Human
beings have absolutely no nutritional
requirement for cow's milk."

Cow's milk is for baby cows. Do you
know what it is doing to your human body?
Milk is perfect food for baby cows. For humans,
it's heated to
160 degrees, rendering calcium to an inorganic form. It isn't natural food for the human
body. It's a source of bad cholesterol (LDL).
It's linked to many physical problems in humans, such as
cancer, diabetes and allergies. It contains bovine
viruses.
Studies have found that when cow proteins enter the
human body, the white blood cell (antibodies) count goes
up.
All mucus membrane problems: colds, runny noses,
allergies, ear infections, swollen glands, skin rashes,
as well as arteriosclerosis, acne, breast and prostate
cancer are linked to cow's milk.
No animal drinks the milk of another, or
past weaning, or in a pasturized form.
Cheese contains
the cow protein casein, linked to diabetes
as well as many allergies and more recently,
breast cancer.
Cheese also contains bacteria and
molds. The fermentation process breaks
down proteins and fats producing amines,
ammonia, irritation fats and lactic acid,
causing stomach irritation, migraine
headaches and overworks kidneys and liver.
And don't make the mistake of thinking
that a mild case of salmonella poisoning is
ok. Studies show that many bacterial
poisonings are related to physical illnesses
that may not show up until much later in
life.
According to Frank
A. Oski, M.D., Director of Pediatrics at Johns
Hopkins University:
There may be a link between milk and
insulin-dependent diabetes. In addition, infants
may suffer blood loss in their intestinal tract,
depleting their body's iron.
Milk is deficient in iron.
Milk, is a common cause of allergies and digestive
problems, particularly among people of African and
Asian descent, who lack the enzyme required to
digest the milk sugar lactose.
Milk products are deficient in fiber and
overloaded with fat and cholesterol.
Milk is a concentrated source of protein.
Ironically, over consumption of high protein foods
such as dairy products may contribute to
osteoporosis.
There are many tasty milk, egg and cheese
substitutes today made from plant foods that are
healthier for you. Once you get that animal
fatty coating off your taste buds, you'll find
that you will be able to taste the natural
goodness of plant foods. Your taste buds
will change and animal meats will become less
appealing to you. Learning more about the
subject of nutrition will help you make healthier
food choices.

Under certain
conditions, cow's milk proteins pass
through the gut into the bloodstream,
eliciting the production of
antibodies. These antibodies end up
attacking not only the milk proteins
but also pancreatic beta-cell proteins
that happen to be structurally similar
to those in cow's milk. Viral
infections cause these beta-cell
proteins to be exposed to the
antibodies. During viral infections
over the next several years,
intermittent antibody attacks
gradually destroy the beta cells. In
late childhood or early adulthood,
insulin levels are so low that
diabetes becomes manifest.
In 1992, the New
England Journal of Medicine
reported that, of 142 children
recently diagnosed with diabetes, all
had high levels of antibodies to a
particular cow's milk protein. A 1996
research study published in The
Lancet, again suggested that milk
may contribute to diabetes in
children.
