Milk contains hormones and antibiotics. Wood glue is made from casein, a protein found in cow's milk. Got asthma, zits and early puberty? Got allergies - stop dairy products. Try it for two weeks, see how you feel, then have yourself a glass of milk and see how your body likes it. Milk contribute to an acidic diet which causes the body to buffer by pulling calcium from bones and potassium from the heart. Wonder why the U.S. has a high rate of osteoporosis? You get more calcium from a cup of broccoli. Try any other kind of milk, even goat or almond, but not soy. Here's a comment from Robert Cohen from www.notmilk.com
HOW MUCH PUS IS IN MILK?
Dear Friends,
Pus is not dangerous. Pus is rather delicious, especially when it's mixed
with sugar and frozen, or bubbly hot atop marinara sauce and pizza.
Fermented pus with acidophilus bacteria makes for a tasty breakfast,
especially if jellied fruit preserves are mixed in. I used to enjoy Dannon's
pus, but Brown Cow makes a brand where the saturated fat rises to the
surface. Now, that's 'hearty' food!
Many of my dairy-producing adversaries get upset when I reveal that milk is
merely pus with hormones. Ten pounds of milk are used to make one pound of
cheese. Cheese is concentrated pus.
Jim Dickrell's story in the March, 2001 issue of Dairy Today asks:
"WHAT IS NORMAL MILK?"
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has a milk ordinance
governing milk safety. USDA does not allow milk containing 750 million or
more pus cells per liter to be shipped across state borders. That should be
good news to milk drinkers.
Last year, the average liter of milk in America contained only 323 million
pus cells, according to Hoard's Dairyman, the dairy industry magazine.
Author Jim Dickrell reports that the level of pus cells has been rising ever
since farmers began using Monsanto's genetically engineered bovine growth
hormone. Before approval (February 1994), the average pus cell count in
milk was under 300 million cells per liter. By 1996, that average count had
reached 307 million. In 1997, the average count was 313 million, and by
1998, the number had reached 318 million.
Researchers working for the National Mastitis Council define normal and
abnormal milk based on the number of pus cells. According to Dickrell's
story, the concentration of pus cells in "normal milk" is almost always less
than 100 million cells per liter.
The number of pus cells in milk is an indicator of the state of health of
the mammary glands and udders in cows. Stressed and infected cows have cell
counts above 100 million. What does that say for the average milk in
America? Not very healthy, even by dairy industry standards.
According to this article:
"When cell counts in milk exceed 200 (million per liter), the odds favor
that the [udder] is infected or is recovering from infection."
The dairy magazine reports:
"Abnormal milk will be discolored and have flakes, clots or other gross
alterations in appearance."
Gross is certainly an appropriate word to describe pus-filled milk with
clots. This analyses of mastitis researchers reveals:
"At 400 (million) cells per liter, some 35% of cows will be infected."
This means that approximately one-third of the cows being milked at any one
time in America are stressed and infected. Milk from these cows contains
large amounts of bacteria, virus, and pus. As a consequence, farmers must
treat their herds with increased amounts of antibiotics.
Pam Ruegg, a University of Wisconsin mastitis researcher, examined more than
one million records, and concluded that the higher the herd's pus cell
count, the greater the risk of antibiotic residues in milk.
Her results were published in the December 2000 issue of the Journal of
Dairy Science.
