Yes, Mother Natures "perfect food"
-- for a calf!
[Until it's weaned]
Everything you know about cow's milk and dairy is probably part of a
Dairy industry MYTH!
Cow's milk is an unhealthy fluid from diseased animals that has a
wide range of dangerous and disease-causing substances having a
cumulative negative effect on all who consume it.

Basic Contents:
ALL cow's milk has 59 active hormones,
scores of allergens, tons of fat and cholesterol.

Most cow's milk has measurable quantities of herbicides,pesticides,
dioxin's (up to 2,200 times the safe levels), up to 52 powerful
antibiotics, 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).

The leading causes of death are:

10 25,192 Liver Disease (think alcohol and other toxins)

(note: Number 13 on the CDC list is -18,272
Homicide & Legal Intervention-.

It is curious that the CDC would readily list law
inforcement and homicides... and not the 250,000 deaths caused by
the medical system!)

Cancer "Fuel Cell":
Of those 59 hormones one is a powerful GROWTH hormone called
Insulin-like Growth Factor ONE (IGF-1).

By a freak of nature it is identical between cows and humans.

Consider this hormone to be a "fuel cell" for any cancer... (the
medical world says IGF-1 is a key factor in the rapid growth and
proliferation of breast, prostate and colon cancers,
and we
suspect that most likely it will be found to promote ALL cancers).

IGF-1 is a normal part of ALL milk... the newborn calf is SUPPOSED
to grow quickly!
What makes the 50% of obese American consumers think they need MORE
growth?
Consumers don't think anything about it because they do not have a
clue to the problem... nor do most of our doctors.
(See http://www.notmilk.com/igf1time.txt for a time line)

Quantity:
Each bite of hard cheese has TEN TIMES whatever was in that sip of
milk... because it takes ten pounds of milk to make one pound of
cheese.
Each bite of ice cream has 12 times ... and every swipe of butter 21
times whatever is contained in the fat molecules in a sip of milk.

Monsanto and rbGH (Posilac)

Monsanto Chemical Co., maker of "fine poisons" such as DDT, agent
orange, Roundup and more... spent around half a billion dollars
inventing a shot to inject into cows...
to force a cow to produce MORE milk
(for an already glutted taxpayer subsidized market).


Unfortunately, they created *FIVE* errors in their
"Frankenstein Posilac" (rbGH) shot that direly affected all test
animals... but that important report
(Richard, Odaglia & Deslex, 1989) has been hidden from everyone
under
Clinton's Trade Secrets act.

The Canadians read enough of this report (before it was stolen) to
reject rbGH for their country.

Monsanto's Posilac creates additional IGF-1 in milk: up to 80% more.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) insists that IGF-1 is
destroyed
in the stomach.
If that were true, the FDA has proven that breast feeding cannot
work.
Common sense says their "finding" is ridiculous because this growth
factor DOES make the baby calf grow (rapidly, as mother nature
intended).

Visit the Dairy Education Board
at http://www.notmilk.com/deb/100399.html to review a DAIRY study
that
confirms what the FDA has lied about this for years.

IGF-1 increases:
This study involved two groups. One group consuming 12 ounces of
milk a day and the other consuming the USDA recommended allowance of
24 ounces (three cups).
This report notes that the participants consuming 12 ounces more
milk per day... HAD A 10% RISE IN *IGF-1*
IN THEIR BLOOD SERUM!

Now, consider that PER DAY, from ALL sources, the typical
milk/dairy consumer ingests approximately 39% of daily diet from
dairy...
and that 10% increase becomes the "tip of the iceberg". We
have NO idea of the non-dairy versus full-dairy difference but
considering cancer rates...
it has to be significant.

Fat-

Whole milk 49% of the calories are from fat.
"2%" milk 35% of the calories are from fat.

Cheddar cheese 74% of the calories are from fat.

Butter 100% of the calories are from fat.
Most folks suspect that butter is all fat.
Most folks have no concept of the just how much fat is in the rest
of milk and dairy.

Perhaps the 54% of Americans who are obese need to comprehend that
milk, ice cream, cheeses, yogurts, and all the OTHER products that
use milk
derivatives (casein, whey, lactose, colostrum)
are most likely a significant cause
for their weight and health problem.

Calcium-
Calcium? Where do the COWS get calcium for their big bones?

Yes... from plants!

The calcium they consume from *plants* has a large amount of
magnesium...
necessary for the body to absorb and USE the calcium.

The calcium in cow's milk is basically useless because it has
insufficient magnesium content
(those nations with the highest amount of
milk/dairy consumption also have the highest rates of osteoporosis.

Proof?
How about a controlled study of 78,000 nurses
over a period of 12 years?

OK?

Read more about it at:

http://www.notmilk.com/deb/030799.html PCRM article on the 78,000
nurse
study
http://www.notmilk.com/deb/092098.html CALCIUM AND BONE DISEASE
http://www.notmilk.com/badbones.html WHO GETS BONE DISEASE?
http://www.notmilk.com/bonehead.txt
(most recent) CRIPPLING BONEHEADS
http://www.notmilk.com/calcium/index.html Consolidated info


Cows milk has three times the calcium as does human breast milk. No
matter, neither are very usable because in order to be absorbed and
used
their MUST be an equal quantity of MAGNESIUM (as exists in the
greens that cows eat to get all the calcium they need for their big
bones).

Milk has only enough magnesium to absorb around 11% (33mg per cup)
of calcium.

Per the USDA 8 ounces (one cup) of cows milk contains:

Calcium, Ca mg 291.336
Magnesium, Mg mg 32.794

The USDA recommends 1200mg of calcium per day. The USDA recommended
three cups of milk a day only have 900mg of calcium.

Some argue that only 1/3 of the magnesium is necessary.
Mother nature seems to suggest it should be one to one.

If the ratio for proper absorption were 1/3 magnesium to one calcium
then no more than 300mg of that 900mg of calcium is usable.
If, in fact, it is a one to one ratio... only
98.38mg of calcium is usable.

Protein-
Milk can be thought of as "liquid meat" because of its high protein
content which, in concert with other proteins, may actually LEACH
calcium from the body.

Countries that consume high protein diets (meat,milk and dairy) have
the
highest rates of osteoporosis.

The wholesome protein myth:

MILK: 87% of milk is water. That makes it VERY expensive water.

Broken down into its basic groups... WHOLE MILK is:

WATER FAT CASEIN OTHER PROTEIN
87% 3.25% 4% 1% 4.75

(note: that is 3.25% "milkfat" which includes the 87% water.)

80% of the protein in milk is casein. Casein is a powerful binder...
a
polymer used to make plastics... and a glue that is better used to
make
sturdy furniture or hold beer bottle labels in place. It is in
thousands of processed foods as a binder... as "something"
caseinate.

Casein is a powerful allergen...
a histamine that creates lots of mucus.

The only medicine in Olympic athlete Flo-Jo's body was Benedryl,
a power antihistamine she took to combat her last meal...

pizza.

See
http://www.notmilk.com/deb/092198.html,
http://www.notmilk.com/deb/111598.html and
http://www.notmilk.com/deb/112398.html for the whole story.

Bacteria-
Cow's milk is allowed to have feces in it.
This is a major source for bacteria. Milk is typically pasteurized
more than once before it gets to your table... each time for only 15
seconds at 162 degrees Fahrenheit.

To sanitize water one is told to boil it (212 degrees F)
for several minutes.

That is a tremendous disparity, isn't it!

Keep in mind that at room temperature the number of bacteria in milk
DOUBLE around every 20 minutes.
No wonder milk turns rotten very quickly.
PUS-
ONE cubic centimeter (cc) of commercial cow's milk is allowed to
have up to 750,000 'somatic cells'
(the common name is "PUS") and 20,000 live
bacteria-- before it is kept off the market.

That amounts to a whopping 20 million life squiggly bacteria and up
to 750 MILLION pus cells per liter (bit more than a quart).

1 cup = 236.5882cc 177,441,150 pus cells ~ 4,731,600 bacteria
24 oz (3 glasses) 532,323,450 pus cells ~ 14,220,000 bacteria
(the "recommended" daily intake)

The EU and the Canadians allow for a less "tasty" 400,000,000 pus
cells per liter.
Typically these levels are lower... but they COULD reach these
levels and still get to YOUR table.

Cholesterol--
The cholesterol content of those three glasses of milk is equal to
what one would get from 53 slices of bacon.

Do you know of any doctor who recommends that much bacon per day?


Kosher-
Is cow's milk and dairy "Kosher"? Consider this:

"D-3 always is derived from an animal. The sunlight reaction that
converts 7-dehydrocholesterol to vitamin D-3 is a 'pure' chemical
reaction that occurs in your skin in certain cells."

"The provitamin known as 7-dehydrocholesterol is extracted and
isolated
from the skins of mammals and purified." (Marian Herbert of the
Vitamin D Workshop U of C)

Vitamin D-3 can come from four different sources:
Pig skin, sheep skin, raw fish liver, and pig brains. Most of the
time,
Vitamin D-3 is extracted from pig skin and sold to dairy processors.

Short answer to "is milk kosher" - probably not.

Other stuff:
Fat and cholesterol.
Lots of it.

Per the dairy influenced USDA
"food pyramid" all milk, dairy and meats should represent no more
than 8% of the diet.

Statistically, by volume of sales in a nation of 281 million
Americans,
it works out to almost 40% of the diet for MILK AND
DAIRY.. without the meat.

The milk of each of the over 4,700 mammals on earth is formulated
specifically for that species.

There are special lactoferrins and immunoglobulins

(cow specific immunizing stuff)
that in humans serve as "allergens".

Leukemia-
Sixty Percent of America's dairy cows have leukemia virus.

Diabetes-
The protein lactalbumin, has been identified as a key factor in
diabetes (and a major reason for NOT giving cows milk to infants).

Crohn's Disease-
Mycobacterium paratuberculosis causes a bovine disease called
"Johne's."

Cows diagnosed with Johne's Disease have diarrhea, and heavy fecal
shedding of bacteria. This bacteria becomes cultured in milk, and is
not
destroyed by pasteurization.

Occasionally, the milk-borne bacteria will begin to grow in the
human
host, and irritable bowel syndrome and
Crohn's results.

Mad Cow Disease-
There may also be prions (pronounced PREons) in the milk and meat.

This is crystalline substance that acts like a virus... with an
incubation period of from 5 to 30 years. The end result is MAD COW
DISEASE!


Homogenization-
Large fat molecules cannot get through the intestinal wall into the
bloodstream.
The cream no longer rises... because homogenization breaks
up those large molecules into small ones that DO get into the
bloodstream!

This becomes an expressway for any fat-borne toxins (lead,
dioxin's, etc.) into your (otherwise) most protected organs.

Cumulative effects:
How does this impact humans who consume cow's milk and dairy?

Obesity (over 50% of Americans and rising), heart disease, cancer,
allergies, digestive problems, diabetes, asthma, desensitization to
antibiotics, behavioral problems, and the constant ingestion of
dioxin's, herbicides, pesticides
(and anything else the cow eats that is not good for any
critter), that winds up getting stored in HUMAN fat... is not
healthy by
any measure.

Those who resist believing the truth should understand that MOST of
the world's population CANNOT tolerate the lactose in cow's milk. Up
to
95% of the black population, around 53% of the Hispanics, etc.)

So much for cow's milk being "natures perfect food" for humans!
Mother nature knows better.

Common sense question:

Where was this massive "milk is a must"before refrigeration,
pasteurization and mass transportation?
Back when cows gave only 1-4 pounds a day it was quickly made into
BUTTER and cheese!
Now that those same cows have been tweaked and shot-up with
Posilac to produce up to 55 or more pounds of milk per day... almost
all
year long... it is suddenly (after many thousands of years) a
daily"staple". NOT!

SOME ANSWERED QUESTIONS:

Q: What is WHEY?
Whey results when the FAT and CASEIN are removed from milk.
In making cheese, the curds become the cheese.

Whey's main components are bovine serum albumin and lactalbumin.
There are other hormones contained in whey.

Q: What happens to the:
59 hormones
Scores of allergens
herbicides, pesticides, dioxin's
up to 52 antibiotics

when made into cheese?

A. Everything gets concentrated.

when made into butter?

A. The allergens get lost: but the dioxin's and
pesticides and antibiotics remain in the fat.

in the digestive system?

Steroid hormones survive, as do dioxin's and antibiotics.

In homogenized milk, protein hormones survive... depending upon the
gastric pH, some protein hormones in cheese survive, but not all...
eleven steroid hormones survive.

and... what happens next?

Eventually, everything is broken down, but not before the chemical
messengers (hormones)

"deliver their message."


Each of those hormones and proteins acts differently and has
different
rates of degradation. BOTTOM LINE... they all survive to a certain
degree... and the effects are cumulative.

Other health- trashing substances in cow's milk:

whey: Blood proteins. Bovine serum lactalbumen has been identified
as a
trigger for diabetes and other autoimmune diseases.

lactose: Two sugars. Glucose and galactose. Galactose has been
indentified as a trigger for glaucoma. There are several columns
that
cover lactose (covering galactose and galactosemia):
