Why Not
Milk?
Not only is milk
production fraught with misery for cows and their calves, dairy
products don’t even “do a body good.” Dairy products are
naturally loaded with fat and cholesterol; Nutrition expert
Dr. John McDougall calls cow’s milk “liquid meat” because
its nutritional content is so similar to animal flesh. Milk is
also deficient in iron, is frequently contaminated with
pesticides and drugs, and may come from cows infected with
bovine leukemia virus, tuberculosis, and salmonella.
Feeding cow’s milk
to human babies can cause colic, intestinal bleeding,
constipation, allergies, and anemia and has been linked to the
development of juvenile diabetes. In adults, it has been
implicated in heart disease, certain cancers, adult-onset
diabetes, and even osteoporosis, the very disease it is supposed
to prevent!
