THE DARK SIDE OF MILK

THE DARK SIDE OF MILK

Many of us grew up on it.Industry suggests we still need it. But half the world's adults can't digest it.Those who can,risk disease when they take it. Paediatricians warn it could trigger allergic reactions, anaemia and diabetes in small children. Cardiologists say it would clog our arteries. Scientists say it could give us cancer. And anthropologists say after the age of 2, we don't need it.

MILK: Delicious, delightful - and deadly.

WHAT'S in the milk you drink? Plenty you don't know about. Scientific research 1930s have all found milk to be either an imperfect food, or a deadly poison.

Why drinking milk is bad for health? It cause of sickness of -

- weakens the bones and accelerates osteoporosis.

- Osteoporosis results from calcium loss, not sufficient calcium intake. calcium lost from our bones due to excess protein ends up in our urine. Produce very high levels of calcium in the kidney system - all too often crystallising into kidney stones.

- early maturity.

- childhood diabetes. Cow's milk protein can even reach a breastfeeding baby if the mother drinks milk. If you concerned for your child, breastfeed. While cow's milk increases risk of Type 1 diabetes, studies shown that breastfeeding protects against the disease.

- milk proteins can also cause colic, a digestive upset in infants.cow's milk contains many proteins (eg: casein) that are poorly digested and are harmful to the immune system.

- milk revs up stomach acid production. Research found milk to be a more potent "stimulus of gastric acid secretion" than coffee, cola, tea and alcohol.

- Sinus and respiratory problems.

-heart disease.high cholesterol.arthritis.

- iron-deficiency anaemia in infants.populations that consume large amounts of dairy products have a much higher incidence of cataracts.

- multiple sclerosis.

- leukaemia.

- allergies.

- breast, prostate & colon cancers.

MILK IS A PROBLEM FOR HALF OF WORLD'S ADULTS

Milk is not necessary in an adult's diet. In children, it is needed as a short-term nutrient only in the first 2 years of life. That is why all mammals wean their babies. Yet, of all mammals, only humans continue to drink beyond babyhood!Why isn't milk necessary in our diet? Health reasons apart. the answer to why milk is not necessary can be found in Nature.Milk contains a milk sugar lactose, which has to be broken down into glucose and galactose before milk can be digested. Nature provides newborns with an enzyme called lactose for this breakdown process. But this ability often disappears by age 4 or 5. Most adults do not have enzyme in their body for lactose digestion.

In fact, virtually all mammals lose the ability to digest lactose as they get older.THINK about it. WHY does Mother Nature give us the ability to metabolism lactose for a few years and then shut off the mechanism completely? Because milk is not meant to be in our diet for life. In fact, cow's milk has been in the human diet for only less than 10,000 years - that is, when dairy farming started in some parts of northern Europe.

Milk is thus not a staple food, but an "ethnic food".

Your most powerful protection against disease

Your immune system is your most powerful weapon against AIDS, cancer and many other common diseases. It's your most important body system - It's been working inside your body to keep you safe your entire life. Unfortunately, it's the most ignored aspect human health because most people know almost nothing about it.

Before the advent of the AIDS epidemic,not much was heard about immune system. Now there is growing acknowledgement among health expects that our body's immune system is the most important weapon in the fight against disease.

3 Opinions are now generally accepted by enlightened medical researchers:

- only the body's immune system can cure a disease

- doctors and alternative medicine practitioners can only assist the body to do this.

- wholesome nutrients from natural food sources are superior to drugs in strengthening the immune system and preventing disease.

A healthy disease-free life is possible only if you have a healthy immune system. The immune system related disease and health problems (eg: cancer, Alzheimer's Disease, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, asthma, insulin-dependent diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, some blood disorders, mutiple sclerosis, stiff joints, weak bones and poor digestion) are getting more common today.

While your immune system may be powerful enough to be able to destroy deadly viruses and bacteria, it is also highly vulnerable and can easily be weakened and bacteria, it is also highly vulnerable and easily be weakened and destroyed.
