Go suck your mother's tits. Go on. Suck
your mother's tits. You think this is ridiculous? It is. Get
ready to use your head.
When a woman gives birth, her body produces milk
and she nurses her child.
Breast milk can grow an 8-pound newborn into a
24-pound toddler. Sounds pretty fattening, huh? It is. By
design, it is intended to allow for the biggest growth spurt of a person's
entire life. Breast milk alone can accommodate for a 300% weight gain in a
twelve-month period. When her child is anywhere from 12 to 24 months old,
a mother stops breast feeding. Her milk dries up. The child will
never drink breast milk ever again.
Cows, like all mammals, are much the same. Their bodies produce milk only when they give birth. Contrary to popular
belief, they do not need to be milked - ever. Their udders, like women's
breasts, exist even when there is no milk in them. There is one major
difference, however. Cows' milk, by design, grows a 90-pound calf into a
2,000-pound cow over the course of 2 years. It allows calves to double
their birth weight in 47 days and leaves their four stomachs feeling full. Sounds even more fattening than human milk, right? It is. It should
be. Cows are bigger than humans. And the inner workings of their
bodies are completely different than ours, which they should be. They are
cows. We are humans. Duh.
Mammals need the enzyme lactase to digest lactose
(the sugar found in dairy). However, between the ages of 18 months and 4
years, we lose 90 to 95 percent of this enzyme. The undigested lactose and
the acidic nature of pasteurized milk encourage the growth of bacteria in our
intestines. All this contributes to a greater risk of cancer because
cancer cells thrive in acidic conditions.
Got mucus? Dairy products produce mucus,
and often, the body will develop a cold or "allergies" to fight the dairy
invasion.
Mother nature is no fool. All species,
including ours, have just what we need to get by. She did not intend for
grownups to suck their mother's tits. We don't need our mother's milk as
adults, just like grown cows don't need their mother's milk anymore. We
are the only species on the planet that drinks the milk of another species. We could be putting gorilla milk on our cereal or having zebra milk and cookies. Why cows' milk? Using the animal that produces the largest quantity of
milk but is more easily housed than an elephant means more money for farmers. It has nothing to do with health or nutrition. Again, it all comes back to
money. The dairy industry is a multibillion-dollar industry based on
brilliant marketing and the addictive taste of milk, butter, and cheese. It has convinced most doctors, consumers, and government agencies that we
need cows' milk. We have been told our whole lives, "You need milk to
grow. Without milk, your bones will break. If you don't drink milk,
you'll get osteoporosis. You need the calcium." Bullshit.
Researchers at Harvard, Yale, Penn State, and the
National Institute of Health have studied the effects of dairy intake on bones.
Not one of these studies found dairy to be a deterrent to osteoporosis. On
contrary, a study funded by the National Dairy Council itself revealed that the
high protein content of dairy actually leaches calcium from the body.
After looking at 34 published studies in 16 countries, researchers at Yale
University found that the countries with the highest rate of osteoporosis -
including the United States, Sweden, and Finland - were those in which people
consumed the most meat, milk, and other animal foods. Another study showed
that though 40 million American women have osteoporosis, only 250,000 African
women have bone disease. In fact, of the 40 tribes in Kenya and Tanzania,
only one - the Maasai - has members suffering from osteoporosis. The
Maasai, as it happens, are a cattle-owning, milk-drinking tribe.
Dairy products have been linked to a host of
other problems, too, including acne, anemia, anxiety, arthritis, attention
deficit disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, fibromyalgia,
headaches, heartburn, indigestion, irritable bowel syndrome, joint pain,
osteoporosis, poor immune function, allergies, ear infections, colic, obesity,
heart disease, diabetes, autism, Crohn's disease, breast and prostate cancers,
and ovarian cancer.
Harvey and Marilyn Diamond, authors of
best-selling follow-up
Fit For Life II, clearly state, "DAIRY PRODUCTS
ARE DISEASE-PRODUCING. They're harmful. They cause suffering.
They're the perfect thing to eat if you want to be sick and have a diseased
body. The dietitians and nutritionists who are mouthpieces and
cheerleaders for the dairy industry, telling you that dairy products are a good
food, should hide their heads in shame - not only for leading the innocent to
believe that dairy products are actually valuable, but also for failing to keep
abreast of the field about which they are supposed to know something."
Yes, I am saying it is common knowledge in the
medical research field that dairy is bad for you. Yes, I am saying that
executives in the dairy industry are well aware of this fact but make claims
that milk "does a body good." How do they get away with this?
Easily. They spend hundreds of millions of dollars every year to market
their products. And average consumers don't spend their time perusing
medical journals, but they do read magazines and watch television.
What about medical doctors? Why do they
believe that milk is beneficial? It is a sad fact that in this country,
most doctors know nothing about nutrition. According to a Senate
investigation, doctors receive less than three hours of nutritional
training in medical school. They have been duped like the rest of us.
Let's pretend for a moment that cows' milk is
healthy for humans. Even if it were, by the time factory farms were done
with it, it wouldn't be. Dioxin, one of the most toxic substances in the
world, is often found in dairy products. And remember, for factory farms,
higher production means bigger profits. When you consume dairy products,
you are ingesting the same antibiotics, pesticides, steroids, and hormones you
would if you ate meat directly. Cows are injected with bovine growth
hormone. Their udders, under normal conditions, would supply about 10
pounds of milk a day. Greedy farmers have their cows producing up to a 100
pounds of milk a day! There is no gentle farmer milking the cow with a
bucket between his feet. Cows are milked by machine; metal clamps are
attached to the cows' sensitive udders. The udders become sore and
infected. Pus forms. But the machines keep on milking, sucking the
dead white blood cells into the milk. How freaking gross is that? To
get rid of all the bacteria and other shit, milk must be pasteurized. But
pasteurization destroys beneficial enzymes and makes calcium less available
without even killing all the viruses or bacteria. Hell, even radioactive
particles are found in milk!
But don't the government and U.S. Department of
Agriculture protect us from all this? Hell no. Sickeningly high
levels of pesticides found in dairy meet government standards. Records
from the Food and Drug Administration show that "virtually 100% of the cheese
products produced and sold in the U.S. has detectable pesticide residues."
Milk is not a reliable source of minerals.
You get much higher levels of manganese, chromium, selenium, and magnesium from
fruits and vegetables. Fruits and veggies are also high in boron, which
helps lessen the loss of calcium through urine. Consuming high amounts of
dairy blocks iron absorption, contributing to iron deficiency.
So do you need calcium by the trough? Nope.
A simple way to get adequate calcium is by including the following foods in your
diet: fortified grains, kale, collard greens, mustard greens, cabbage,
kelp, seaweed, watercress, chickpeas, broccoli, red beans, soybeans, tofu, seeds
(sesame seeds rate among the highest), and raw nuts. It is just that
simple. But don't be looking to pop a calcium pill as a quick fix.
Research shows that supplements do not make a significant difference in
preventing or treating osteoporosis. Good news: Fifteen minutes of
direct sunlight every day aides in Vitamin D absorption, which means stronger
bones.
How about eggs, you ask? When a woman is
pregnant and she drinks alcohol or does drugs, it affects her unborn child,
right? Right. Well, it is the same with chickens and their unhatched
eggs. When you eat eggs, you are ingesting all the same hormones,
pesticides, chemicals, and steroids as if you were eating the chicken directly. So if you really believe that eating "just egg whites" isn't fattening, I've got
a bridge I can sell ya. Eggs are high in saturated fat and are completely
disgusting when you think about what you are eating. Try that for once. Actually think about what you are eating!
You will pee in your pants when you see how much
weight you will lose from giving up dairy. The fat in cheese is what gives it
the taste and texture we love. Of the calories found in cheese, 70 to 80 percent
come from fat. Even if you're buying low-fat, part-skim nonsense, more than half
the calories come from fat. Fat free? Give me a freaking break! Remember
what milk is for. It is designed to fatten up baby cows. Do you really
believe it can be made fat free? Get your head out of your ass. Milk = fat.
Butter = fat. Cheese = fat. People who think these products can be low fat or
fat free = freakin' morons.
