MILK
The
question is: “IS MILK GOOD FOR YOU?”
The simple answer is: “WE DO NOT KNOW.
Here is an unbiased exposé of some of the known effects of milk and its
by-products.
Milk is one of the biggest consumed products on the market. It has over
50 different varieties and direct products. It is also contained in
hundreds of other products (cakes biscuits etc) as an ingredient and
sometimes it is not even listed.
To most of the population, it is a tolerable substance with no side
effects but when you get to the 20% of people that suffer an allergy or
reaction to its intake, you can home-in on some of its reactions.
Until recently, children with ADT and ADHT had a strong reaction to
“normal milk.” It was then discovered that milk came from two different
herds of cows and they called the milk A1 and A2. The two herds were
Friesian and Jersey. The Jersey breed contained the A2 protein and it
has little or no effect on disturbing the children in the test.
But this alone brings out the point that milk contains something that
affects these children to a very large extent.
We have not isolated this component and this is the first worrying
factor to consider.
Next we come to the hidden dangers of un-pasturised milk. “Whole milk”
(milk straight from the cow) and milk with the majority of the cream
removed to get milk with 3.5% fat content, contains an enormous number
of pathogens (basically bacteria) and blood plasma cells from the cow
and if the milk is not boiled, these LIVE bacteria remain in the milk
and can cause diarrhea, headaches and vomiting.
A batch of milk in the USA was either not boiled sufficiently or
bypassed the boiling process and thousands of people were affected –
some went to hospital.
So, we are dealing with a very delicate (dangerous) product and it must
be made safe.
Now we come to the effects of feeding cow’s-milk to babies. Some babied
do not tolerate cows milk AT ALL and most of the infant formulas are
fortified and manipulated to make them palatable. Some formulations are
now stating they only contain A2 milk.
Some products such as cheese, yoghurt, yakult contain bacteria that is
supposed to assist digestion. This is commonly called a PROBIOTIC.
But even the smallest amount of cheese can stiffen the colon of a person
who eats correctly (and has no problem with bowel evacuations). So the
bacteria in our bowel are telling us something !!!!
“Milk
makes you fat”
Milk
has less calories per gram than an apple, you don’t eat 4 apples at a
meal. It is the amount of milk consumed by children that adds to their
daily intake. There are less calories in coca cola than milk but
children drink 2 or more glasses at each meal. It is the overall AMOUNT
that is making us fat.
The highest number of calories per gram is FAT – butter, cream with 9
calories per gram. Protein has 4 calories per gram. All milks, cordial
and coke has less than 1 calorie per gram. But you consume a much larger
quantity of drink than butter.
Just an extra candy bar (chocolate bar) each day for 10 years will make
you 20 kgms overweight. Gaining weight is a slow and gradual process of
extra calories per day.
“Milk
gives you pimples”
Milk
contains fat and most people can break down the fat in their stomach and
it will not be passed through the blood stream as a product to be
excreted.
But this type of fat is verging on the intolerable and if you eat a high
cream product, your body will pass it though the blood stream as fat
globules and express it as a pimple. You can get a boil on the lip,
inside the mouth or a sty in the eye. It is all an indication from your
body that the fat you consumed is not accepted.
So, there we have it.
Basically milk is a product that is only just accepted by the body and
if you get any reaction, it is an indication to either reduce or avoid
the product.
With milk, you are really
skating on thin ice.
The idea is to gradually reduce your intake of milk products and
substitute “milk” with other forms of “milk” from nuts, coconut and
seeds. Soy milk has its own problems and must also be taken in very
small quantities. |
