Milk Does Not Do a Body Good

 

The path that transforms healthy milk products into allergens and carcinogens begins with modern feeding methods that substitute high-protein, soy-based feeds for fresh green grass and breeding methods to produce cows with abnormally large pituitary glands so that they produce three times more milk than the old fashioned scrub cow. These cows need antibiotics to keep them well.    Their milk is then pasteurized so that all valuable enzymes are destroyed (lactase for the assimilation of lactose; galactase for the assimilation of galactose; phosphatase for the assimilation of calcium). Literally dozens of other precious enzymes are destroyed in the pasteurization process. Without them, milk is very difficult to digest. The human pancreas is not always able to produce these enzymes; over-stress of the pancreas can lead to diabetes and other diseases.  The butterfat of commercial milk is homogenized, subjecting it to rancidity. Even worse, butterfat may be removed altogether. Skim milk is sold as a health food, but the truth is that butter-fat is in milk for a reason.   Without it the body cannot absorb and utilize the vitamins and minerals in the water fraction of the milk. Along with valuable trace minerals and short chain fatty acids, butterfat is America's best source of preformed vitamin A.   Synthetic vitamin D, known to be toxic to the liver, is added to replace the natural vitamin D complex in butterfat. Butterfat also contains re-arranged acids which have strong anti-carcinogenic properties. Non-fat dried milk is added to 1% and 2% milk. Unlike the cholesterol in fresh milk, which plays a variety of health promoting roles, the cholesterol in non-fat dried milk is oxidized and it is this rancid cholesterol that promotes heart disease.   Like all spray dried products, non-fat dried milk has a high nitrite content. Non-fat dried milk and sweetened condensed milk are the principle dairy products in third world countries; use of ultra high temperature pasteurized milk is widespread in Europe.  
 

Other Factors Regarding Milk

Milk and refined sugar make two of the largest contributions to food induced ill health in our country. That may seem like an overly harsh statement, but when one examines the evidence, this is a reasonable conclusion.

The recent approval by the FDA of the use of BGH (Bovine Growth Hormone) by dairy farmers to increase their milk production only worsens the already sad picture.

BGH causes an increase in an insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1) in the milk of treated cows. IGF-1 survives milk pasteurization and human intestinal digestion. It can be directly absorbed into the human bloodstream, particularly in infants.

It is highly likely that IGF-1 promotes the transformation of human breast cells to cancerous forms. IGF-1 is also a growth factor for already cancerous breast and colon cancer cells, promoting their progression and invasiveness.

It is also possible for us to absorb the BGH directly from the milk. This will cause further IGF-1 production by our own cells.

BGH will also decrease the body fat of cows. Unfortunately, the body fat of cows is already contaminated with a wide range of carcinogens, pesticides, dioxin, and antibiotic residues. When the cows have less body fat, these toxic substances are then transported into the cows' milk.
BGH also causes the cows to have an increase in breast infections for which they must receive additional antibiotics.

Prior to BGH, 38%of milk sampled nationally was already contaminated by illegal residues of antibiotics and animal drugs. This will only increase with the use of BGH. One can only wonder what the long term complications will be for drinking milk that has a 50% chance it is contaminated with antibiotics.

There is also a problem with a protein enzyme called xanthine oxidase which is in cow's milk. Normally, proteins are broken down once you digest them.

However, when milk is homogenized, small fat globules surround the xanthine oxidase and it is absorbed intact into your blood stream. There is some very compelling research demonstrating clear associations with this absorbed enzyme and increased risks of heart disease.

Cow's milk is the number one allergic food in this country. It has been well documented as a cause in diarrhea, cramps, bloating, gas, gastrointestinal bleeding, iron-deficiency anemia, skin rashes, atherosclerosis, and acne.

It is the primary cause of recurrent ear infections in children. It has also been linked to insulin dependent diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, infertility, and leukemia.

Hopefully, you will reconsider your position on using milk as a form of nourishment. Small amounts of milk or milk products taken infrequently, will likely cause little or no problems for most people.
However, the American Dairy Board has done a very effective job of marketing this product. Most people believe they need to consume large, daily quantities of milk to achieve good health. NOTHING could be further from the truth.

Public health officials and the National Dairy Council have worked together in this country to make it very difficult to obtain wholesome, fresh, raw dairy products. Nevertheless, they can be found with a little effort. In some states, you can buy raw milk directly from farmers.

Whole, pasteurized, non-homogenized milk from cows raised on organic feed is now available in many gourmet shops and health food stores. It can be cultured to restore enzyme content, at least partially. Cultured buttermilk is often more easily digested than regular milk; it is an excellent product to use in baking.

BE WARNED, though. The FDA and the NDA and all those f*ckers don't want you drinking raw milk. They are okay with you drinking diet soda with aspartame, which has methylene chloride. They are okay with you ingesting GMOs and high fructose corn syrup and any number of known carcinogens that are allowable 'in trace amounts' in food (Without considering that eating several food items with trace amounts of cancer causing ingredients every day, week after week after month after year ADDS UP- the body doesn't metabolize all of these substances and can actually store them away, where they collect over the years like toxic dust in a corner of your body). They are okay with you eating pink slime from the butcher floor that has been soaked in ammonia and had food flavoring added to it and some dye to make it appealing....but not raw milk. Because the health of the American people is not in their best interest. Let me repeat that- THE HEALTH OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE IS NOT IN THEIR BEST INTEREST. They only make money off us if we are sick. Not dead- but sick. See this video below of the raid on Rawesome in Los Angeles- this is only one of many such things that are documented in the documentary Food Fight.



Here is an informative short clip about the benefits of raw whole milk. This is why they want to make it very difficult to obtain. They want to control the monopoly on milk.  Man, sorry, that picture below looks gross. I can't control that. But I hope you watch it anyway.


 
 
This is why being healthy is a big FU to the powers that be, who want to us to compromise our health so they can get even more rich off our maladies. And to be healthy, we have to look at our food. We have to question what our taste buds are telling us we want to eat- we really do! Taste buds are part of what got us in this mess. They can create some synthetic flavors that our taste buds get addicted to, and we are slaves to our own taste buds. And....if you are a little rabble-rouser like me, the very fact that they don't want me to have raw milk only makes me want it more.
 
Let me just ask you this- have you ever wondered why the National Dairy Association has such aggressive ad campaigns? Google milk ads, and you will see almost every famous person ever- from Rihanna to Beyoncé to Yoda- who has money for that kind of campaign? They are clearly making a lot of money off Americans. They sure don't want it jeopardized.
 
Body by milk? I don't think so. Body in spite of milk, maybe....
 
Occupy yourself!!!
