Skimmed milk

Skim milk is produced on mass farms where cattle are held in small cells and not allowed to move around freely. Basically their entire life is eating and creating milk. They develop sores and infections from their stationary life and are treated with strong antibiotics, but let's face it, the cows can not move around so their chances of fighting infection are very slim. The solution? More antibiotics, of course.

The actual contents of this "milk" will surprise you. Among many other things, GMOs, antibiotics, and body fluids can easily be located in skim milk. Because of the infections caused by their sedentary life style and sores caused by constant milking, the cows need antibiotics to heal and produce milk. Also, cows are meant to eat grass, and wild feed. When they are fed corn, which is used on many of these "farms" they become ill, and more antibiotics are needed.

Products from open sores are able to make their way into the milk easily. The FDA does regulate what goes into the milk, but via their rules, 750,000 puss cells are allowed to be in each quart of milk, and it is easy to amount to that when you have cows living in these conditions.

Also, the FDA guidelines restrict the type of injections that the cows get. They do not vent this on every carton of milk though. Their rules allow injections of recombinant bovine growth hormones, a known carcinogen that is banned in every country except the U.S. This is used to stimulate milk production, but at what cost?
