White poison. Celebrities like Hayden Paneterie, Rhianna, Hiedi Klum, Chris Brown, Beyonce, Brooke Sheilds, Usher and The Olsen Twins say it's good for us...so it's got to be good right? Haa!
Thoughts: Milk...is it good or bad for us? What is the truth about this white liquid that comes out of a cow?
This blog is dedicated to James :)
Yes milk is Mother Nature's "perfect food" ...for a calf... until it is weaned.
And yes we have learnt that milk is an essential source of bone - strengthening calcium. HOWEVER the milk we buy today in the supermarket actually does more harm to our bdies then good.
Many years ago when the Earth occupied less chemicals, pollution and pesticides, milk from cows my have been a healthy consumtpion. Nowadays when you drink the milk that comes from a hormone injected cow and the milk is then processed and heated, you are left with a machine made hormone infested white posion that actually drains calcium from your bones. (That's why women in Western Europe have far more osteporosis than the ones in Asia that eat more vegetarian diet.)
Yes I know it's opposite to everything you have learnt or been told. Everything you know about cow's milk and dairy is probably part of a Dairy industry MYTH. The manufacturues make sooo much money on milk, BILLIONS in fact yearly, so of course they want to keep porducing the milk by the masses and making the money that comes along with it. The milk industry is losing money in the westernworld due to more and more people becoming aware of the detramental effects on our long term health. The countries that consume the most dairy products have the highest incidences of breast cancer, colon cancer (and other cancers), osteoporosis, diabetes etc etc so now the industry is looking to the East to spread its wares. China who are almost 100% lactose intolerant are being told milk is good for them and are being sold cattle which are not suitable for their climates. It is a dirty, dirty business.
Also Japan who have the lowest breast cancer rates in the developed world are now being introduced to the 'wonders' of the white stuff. Their disease rates are rocketing with it.
MILK'S BASIC CONTENTS
(http://www.rense.com/general26/truth.htm)
*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). I don't know about you but eww eww eww I aint drinkin pesticides and chemicals...there is enough of that in the air today let alone actually going and purchasing it from a carton in a store!
Someone once pointed out to me that 'back in the day' people would have milk delivered in glass bottles to their door step every couple of days. This was because the milk would go off every few days. Now milk can last a couple of weeks...think about what they are doing to the milk to make it last this long. So unless you actually know of an organic farmer who has cows and you go out and watch it being milked, or you actually milk the cow yourself...it's best to stay away from it. Unless of course you want the following symptoms...
As early as the 1930s, it was realized that cows injected with material drawn from bovine (cow) pituitary glands (hormone secreting organ) produced more milk. Later, the bovine growth hormone (bGH) from the pituitary glands was found to be responsible for this effect. However, at that time, technology did not exist to harvest enough of this material for large-scale use in animals. In the 1980s, it became possible to produce large quantities of pure bGH by using recombinant DNA technology. In 1993, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the recombinant bovine growth hormone (rbGH), also known as bovine somatotropin (rbST) for use in dairy cattle. Recent estimates by the manufacturer of this hormone indicate that 30% of the cows in the United States (US) may be treated with rbGH.
Beauty Queen and Vegan Earth lover Carolyn Wagner wrote "Dairy is also one of the top ten foods that cause allergic reactions in people. Mother nature didn’t design for adults to be sucking something out of a tit and therefore many people will react to it. As for the health issue “Where will you get your calcium?” Sesame seeds, green leafy veggies, broccoli, nuts, tofu, figs, baked beans are all great sources of calcium. Animal proteins also acidify the body. Calcium then leeches from the bones to try and combat this and then causes bone loss. Also studies have found that countries with the highest intake of dairy have the highest rate of osteoporosis and many other diseases. Also in dairy you might find traces of blood and puss from the teats of the cow that happens when a machine is attached to them for many hours of the day not only sucking out milk but rubbing and causing bleeding and sometime infections. There is also the antibiotics and hormones that the cows are pumped full of and you might even find some pesticides." To read her full blog go to http://theearthdiet.blogspot.com/2010/02/day-92.html

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.
And daily consumption from the "milk group" is reccomended by the US and Australian goverment...disgusting.
What about soy milk? Is that any better? I will write tomorrows blog on Soy Milk. ;)

Challenges: I was activated when I saw how many celebrities have posed for a photo with a cup of milk and glue on their faces to show that they drink milk and other people around the world should follow them and do so also. Why did they do this? Do they even know anything about milk? I'm sure with a million dollar cheque they wouldn't even think twice about the machine creating what may be white poison. I can tell you now, no amount of money would convince me to do it. Not even a million dollars. Not when it is killing people. How can it be worth it?
Triumphs: I am grateful that I know this.
What I Ate Today:
Breakfast: A green apple. A orange. A nectarine.
Lunch: Brazil nuts and 5 nectarines.
Dinner: A avocado with mixed sprouts, chick peas and lentils and beans mmm mmm!
Dessert: Chocolate balls.
Snacks: Brazil nuts.
Exercise: Worked out some weights at Gold's Gym and then relaxed in the steam room mmm mmm mmm!
230 days to go!
