Milk… Is it healthy? What does independent research conclude?
“I've found most children that are hyperactive (ADDattention deficit disorder) have Calcium deficiency… because the Calcium/Phosphorus/Magnesium balance in milk is wrong for humans, milk prevents calcium absorption. I believe one way kids become Calcium deficient is by drinking too much milk.”
– Dr. Lendon Smith, Famous Pediatrician, Author
“Tests on more than 25,000 blood samples show adults using milk do not absorb nutrients as well as those who don’t…Milk forms a mucous coating inside the intestines, resulting in poor absorption and assimilation.”
– Dr. Kurt Esselbacher, Chairman of Medicine, Harvard Medical School
“Milk causes all sorts of allergic problems and arthritis. Cow’s milk contains pituitary hormones designed to raise a calf from 90 pounds to almost a ton is two years… It seems unwise for humans to routinely consume substances that could well contribute to unbalancing body chemistry.”
“Can we trust industry spokesmen? Are nutritionist up to date or are they simply stating what their professors learned years ago? From 1988-1993 there were 2,700 articles dealing with milk recorded in the archives. How would I summarize the articles? They were only slightly less than horrifying. Contamination… by blood and white (pus) cells, as well as a variety of chemicals and insecticides was also discussed. Among children there were allergy, ear and tonsillar infections, bed wetting, asthma, intestinal bleeding, colic and childhood diabetes. In adults the problems seemed centered more around heart disease, arthritis, allergies, sinusitis, and the more serious questions of leukemia, lymphoma and cancer.”

“Heart disease is proportional to the amount of homogenized milk consumed in a country. Finland has the highest consumption… and the highest heart disease rate followed by the US. Lowest consumption and lowest heart disease rates are found in France, Japan and Sweden.”

“Being against milk is somehow equated with almost being un-American due to political pressures… one out of every 7 congressmen receive dairy industry support… Milk is linked to anemia, allergies, arthritis, atherosclerosis, arteriosclerosis and heart death… Why haven’t we all been made aware of this very serious situation before now? The medical profession is first highly conservative in its approach to new diseases and cures, and secondly medicine oriented, that is, prone to find cures through chemical and not natural means. The other obvious reason is the size and strength of the national dairy industry. Homogenization does nothing to make milk a better product, but it does make a more profitable one.”
