Consumption of milk and dairy products represents the consumption of liquid proteins from the most abused of farm animals. Dairy cows in the UK suffers the pain of being separated from her mother at birth. Dairy cows in the UK suffer the pain of having their sensitive horn buds removed. Most creatures receive no anaesthesia or post surgical pain killers. Every cow being milked suffers the ultimate indignity and pain of slaughter when she is uneconomic for the farmer. The March, 2010 issue of the British Journal of Nutrition (Mar;103(5):714-23) contains a study which was designed to assess the association between protein consumption and bone mass accrual (BMC) in a 5-year study of 757 pre-pubescent Chinese girls (average age = 10.1 years). The authors conclude: "When protein intake was considered according to animal or plant food sources, protein from animal foods, particularly meat, had significant negative effects on BMC accrual..."

Breast Cancer - Just Stop Drinking Milk!

Everyone should know that most cancer research is largely a fraud, and that the major cancer research organizations are derelict in their duties to the people who support them."

- Linus Pauling

Another great post, as usual, by our friend the NotMilkMan. Some information to get you wanting more and then the research that has found evidence backing a non-dairy diet to prevent cancer.

A February 16, 2009 visit to the Susan Komen website reveals that YOPLAIT YOGURT is a member of Komen's "Million Dollar Council Elite" and the "National Presenting Sponsor" of the Komen organization.

YOPLAIT is there at every Susan Komen walk and event to distribute complimentary portions of breast cancer fuel (yogurt) for those women who ignorantly donate their time and dollars to a self perpetuating organization of doom.

Faced with scientific evidence linking dairy consumption to breast cancer, who in their right mind would purchase yogurt to prevent breast cancer? American women, that's who.

Dairy - is that why you're depressed?

Thanks to the NotMilkMan, on the money as pretty much always.

Are You Depressed?
Are you irritable?
Do you experience MOOd swings?

A February 10, 2010 press release cites a study in which "a child's sweet tooth" can lead to depression and alcohol use in adult life. See:

www.monell.org/news/news_releases/sweets_kids

There's medical support that a child's love for milk America's (and the UK's, thanks Cadbury, wait for the lawsuit) most frequently consumed candy "treats" (milk chocolate) might lead to depression. What's in milk and milk chocolate?

Imagine starting your day with an estrogen pill, followed by progesterone, prolactin, melatonin, oxytocin, and 50+ other hormones including gastrointestinal peptides and hypothalamic hormones.

If you consume dairy products you are doing exactly that.

It is no wonder that the Townsend Medical Letter noted the following in May of 1995:

In reality, cow's milk, especially processed cow's milk, has been linked to a variety of health problems, including: mucous production, hemoglobin loss, childhood diabetes, heart disease, atherosclerosis, arthritis, kidney stones, MOOD SWINGS, DEPRESSION, IRRITABILITY, allergies."

Obama promotes Milk to stop Obesity?

Nutrition expert Michelle Obama (that's irony, by the way) blames the Obesity epidemic on the consumption of soda and other sweets. Another great post from the purveyor of bad news about dairy, the NotMilkMan.

From the Chicago Sun Times, 1st March 2010, a piece by Lewis Lazare, apparently without irony.

The iconic "Got Milk?" milk mustache campaign is officially on board as a supporter of first lady Michelle Obama's recently unveiled effort to fight childhood obesity -- a project dubbed "Let's Move!"

In a new print ad debuting today, the "Got Milk?" effort encourages all readers to raise a glass of milk and toast Mrs. Obama's new project, designed to help families make healthier lifestyle and nutrition choices.

The new "Got Milk?" ad contains no image of the first lady herself, lest she appear to be using her elevated position for inappropriate commercial purposes. A "Got Milk?" spokeswoman said the first lady was never approached about appearing in the new print ad.
