Milk does NOT do your body good!

Here are some of the high points I have read on dairy:
Milk is designed to make us have the fastest growth spurt of our lives. Double our weight in 6 months, triple at a year, and quadruple at 2. By design it does the same for cows. A 90 lb calf doubles its weight in 47 days and grows to over 2000lbs in 2 years. By design the mother's body is able to detect the nutrients the baby is void of or needs the most of and tailors the milk to meet those needs. So why do we drink the milk of a cow, a mammal 250 times the size of an 8 pound baby. We are the only specie on earth that drinks milk as adults.
Between the ages of 18 months and 4 years we lose 90-95% of the lactase enzyme to digest milk. Undigested lactose and acidity of milk encourages the growth of bacteria in our intestines, and cancer thrives in acidic conditions.
A study done at Harvard, Yale, Penn State, and the National Institute of Health did a study and found dairy to be a deterrent to osteoperosis and the high protein content of dairy actually takes calcium from the body. A Yale study found the countries that consume the most dairy, meat, and other animal products are the countries with the highest osteoperois rates. 40 million Americans have osteoperosis but only 250,000 African women have bone disease, infact only one tribe in Africa has osteoperosis sufferers and that is the tribe that drinks cow's milk. Dairy has also been linked to a host of other diseases as well: acne, anemia, arthritis, ADD, ADHD, fibromyalgia, headaches, heartburn, indigestion, irritable bowel syndrome, joint pain, poor immune function, allergies, ear infections, colic, obesity, heart disease, diabetes, autism, Crohn's disease, breast, prostrate, and ovarian cancers.
Cows by nature produce up to 10 pounds of milk a day, but the cows the produce the milk we drink are injected with a hormone so they can instead produce a 100 pounds a day. When you ingest dairy you are ingesting the same antibiotics, pesticides, steroids, and hormones as you would if you digested the meat directly. The udders become sore and infected, and the antibiotics given to them for this goes straight into our milk. By the way, by law they are allowed to have up to 750 million pus cells per a gallon of milk. Pasteurization destroys beneficial enzymes and calcium without killing all the viruses and bacteria.
An adequate amount of calcium can be ingested by eating a healthy balance of fruits and vegetables. Consuming high amounts of dairy blocks iron absorption leading to iron deficiency. Vitamin D can be received by 15 minutes of sunlight a day. 70-80% of the calories in cheese alone comes from fat, and low fat cheese still accounts for 50% of the calories from fat.
There are many resources out there. Notmilk.com has every disease known linked to milk and studies done for each of those diseases. Skinny ***** by Rory Freedman and Kim Barnouin is a great book. Milksucks.com also has some hardcore truths and eye opening resources.

tl;dr but I agree Milk is not a replacement for other calcium rich foods.0
-
I agree, I have not found anything backing up dairy products in general.0
-
I love milk really... but I have tried for a long time now to keep it too a minimum.
(Mostly a splash in 1 coffee per day)
Also I read in my Optimum Nutrition Bible. That as a woman. IFF you are going to drink any milk, then make sure it IS organic.
that cows are pumped full of nasty chemicals to force their bodies to KEEP producing milk (even though they have not just had a calf.. like how we would if we had just had a baby)..
and that those nasty hormones are passed on to us in non organic dairy. (especially milk)
(and can play havoc with OUR hormones)0 -
If you think like that, I assume you're a vegetarian? Cause otherwise I'd just laugh. There's more antibiotics in MEAT than most other things we eat nowadays.
What's with cheese, guys? And Yoghurt, do you not eat those things either?0 -

We are also the only species on earth to build space shuttles. Coincidence? I think not.0 -
That's great info! Dairy causes eczema, stomach issues, and behavioral problems in my kids. We've severely cut down on dairy products and are finding ways to cut down even more because I realized if milk was so good for us, why are my kids' bodies rejecting it like this?0

For the vast majority of us, milk and other dairy products fit into a healthy, well-balanced diet. For those of you that have health-related issues, and/or find yourself feeling healthier without them, good job for adhering to what is right for you.0

So milk is designed to make us fat, culture bacteria inside of us, make our intestines acidic, leach calcium from our system, and degenerate our bones - and you say therefore that this is only good while we're children? It sounds like it's terrible for us as children too. I don't want no calcium-deprived acidic-intestined bone-degenerating fat baby. If anything, it sounds like milk is murder. Murder by mothers!
Your well documented research and long list of reputable scholarly reports makes a clear argument and I agree completely. You've convinced me that women(aka mothers) are trying to kill their children with breast milk. I think we should ban breast feeding. Sure you say it's good to help the little buggers grow, but if it has so many adverse effects then they trump the good ones. Women are obviously evil and trying to destroy our lives, one sipped nipple at a time.
Your information has changed my life. One MFP user and one hack website devoid of valuable and transparent research is just what I needed to give my life new guidance. All along this milk has been rotting me away. Maybe I should switch to those Beach Body products you recommend. After all, mankind makes much better products than nature.0 -

MFP mods are going crazy lately. I don't know if they hired a new mod fresh from catholic school or what. A friend of mine got a 1 year ban for a photo that "showed too much cleavage" - the photo was her whole body(so it wasn't a close-up) and she was wearing jeans and a tank. Figure that one out!0 -
Is milk healthy? No. Is meat healthy? No. Are vegetables and fruits healthy? No. Not unless you live on your own private island far from land and grow all your own food without chemical fertilizers or pesticides.
If you can afford to buy organic, lucky you, it probably helps. But it still isn't as healthy as it would be if our planet wasn't drenched in chemicals.
The article singles out one food (dairy) and details the man-made health hazards in that food without mentioning that the foods we 'should be eating instead' (fruits and vegetables) have similar manmade hazards.0 -
As it's said a million times: everything in moderation.
Unless you are lactose intolerant, I don't see a problem with drinking milk or consuming dairy products in controlled portions, as long as they are ORGANIC. Low fat doesn't hurt either

Also.. please note. I know the OP. She feels that anyone who disagrees with her is "attacking her" and "closed-minded." She says she posts topics to "enlighten people" and says she never returns to read the comments or respond to replies because she doesn't want to see all the negativity. She just posts crap like this and runs. Frequently. If anything, the mods should be banning HER posts.0

It would be pretty weird if a human mother was producing cow's milk.0 -
This poster's formula appears to be, based on other posts:
Post something that sounds helpful
Make sure to get people to friend her

I'm thinking it was either an honest mistake, or she disagreed with my opinion and let her little bit of power go to her head and used it to delete opinions she didn't like. But since the person who i was responding to also got her comment deleted, and that person had a different opinion than me, i have to think the mod probably just messed up. Still lame, though.
