In becoming vegetarians/vegans, if my husband Frank and I had it to
do all over again, all products containing milk would be the first
to be eliminated from our diet. Dairy products cause a multitude of
health problems, and even bad breath and body odor; yet the powerful
dairy industry with their commercials, as well as their lobbyists in
Washington, rake in the money at the expense of the public’s health.
Humans are the only animals who continue to consume milk after
they’ve been weaned. After all, cow’s milk is for calves, goat’s milk is
for goats, sheep’s milk is for lambs, dog’s milk is for dogs, cat’s milk
is for cats, rat’s milk is for rats…you get the picture!
As Dr. Frank A. Oski, former Director of Pediatrics, Johns Hopkins
University says:
“There’s no reason to drink cow’s milk at any time in your life.
It was designed for calves, not humans, and we should all stop
drinking it today.”
Julie Klotter, M.D. had this to say about milk in the Townsend
Medical Letter, May 1995:
“In reality, cow's milk, especially processed cow’s milk, has
been linked to a variety of health problems, including: mucous
production, hemoglobin loss, childhood diabetes, heart disease,
atherosclerosis, arthritis, kidney stones, mood swings, depression,
irritability, and allergies.”
