THE HEALTH DANGERS OF MILK
|
| 01. |
Milk: A Letter from a Doctor to His Patients...
Of all the mammals, only humans--and then only a minority--continue to drink milk beyond babyhood. The milk of every species of mammal is unique and specifically tailored to the requirements of that animal. Not only is cow's milk not meant for human nutrition, it is also plagued by the practices of the modern dairy industry, which have introduced bovine growth hormones, antibiotics and other toxins into the milk supply. Milk does not do a body good. |

Dairy Products, Breast Cancer and China...
Why didn't Chinese women get breast cancer? There are huge differences in breast cancer rates between oriental and Western countries. When oriental people adopt a completely Western lifestyle, incidences of cancer increase. |

Milk: A to Z...
From allergies to acne, excess milk and dairy consumption has been linked to a number of ailments. |
| 04. |
Dairy Education Board...
A scientific study has shown that the level of a very powerful hormone contained in milk, insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I), increases in the human body after milk consumption. IGF-I has been identified as a key factor in the growth and proliferation of certain cancers. The FDA approved the genetically engineered bovine growth hormone after concluding that IGF-I was destroyed in the stomach. But, contrary to this, research has shown that serum IGF-I levels (blood levels) increased significantly in an experimental group drinking three 8 ounce servings of milk per day. |

Milk Linked to Ovarian Cancer...
Researchers found women who consumed more than four servings of dairy products a day had twice the risk of serous ovarian cancer than women who had fewer than two. |
| 09. |
Can Prions Be in Milk...
Milk was one of the products targeted when the United Kingdom was beginning to recognize the magnitude of the mad cow problem. Milk from BSE Infected Cattle is Banned. Pasteurization cannot destroy prions. |

| 16. |
Whey Protein / Milk Soluble Protein (Negative Perspective)...
Cow milk contains 2 major protein fractions: casein and whey protein. Whey protein ingestion mediated larger increases in postmeal aminoacidemia. |
| 17. |
Whey Protein (Positive Perspective)...
From a nutritional perspective, whey proteins are hard to beat. Over 60 percent of their make-up is essential amino acids. Because the body is unable to make essential amino acids, they must be provided daily through diet. |
