Dairy = Disease
Have you ever wondered why humans drink another mammal's milk? Or why we are the ONLY species to not only drink anothers milk, but to also drink it into adulthood? If we want to get what cows have shouldn't we eat what cows eat?
Milk is made for one purpose, to nourish a young mammal so that they can grow into a healthy mammal. A cow's milk is designed to make a calf triple in size in one year. Is this why our children are tripling in size at such young ages? Did you know that a cow 50 years ago made 2,000 gallons of milk a year and today that make that much in ONE MONTH?! It's not because they are healthier. It is because they are fed and injected with all kinds of hormones. Then, because they are producing so much more than is natural, they get infections of the udders and are given antibiotics. So, we are getting hormones, pus, blood, and antibiotics in our milk! Gross!!
Hormones - did you know that the average age of puberty in the US is 6-9 years old, but in China (very little dairy consumption) it is 15-19? I think this has alot to do with the "3 glasses a day" Americans are committed to drinking. And because girls are developing younger and are getting more estrogen in their diets their skeletal system is not getting to mature properly and they are exposed to increased levels of estrogen for longer time periods than the body is designed to deal with, ie breast cancer, ovarian cancer and osteoporosis are huge problems.
Drinking milk increases the risk of cancer, osteoporosis, arthritis, diabetes, asthma, allergies, ADD, etc. The list goes on and on.
If milk is something you can not live without, try hemp milk, almond milk or rice milk. Soy is not recommended because of the estrogen levels and many people have allergies to soy. In fact, if you are allergic to milk you are probably allergic to soy. Also, try rice or almond cheeses. Stay away from yogurt, but give raw, organic kefir a try.
IF you think you might be allergic to milk, stay off of it for a week (and any dairy products). Then try it for a day or two and notice how you feel. Common signs are digestive problems: gassy, bloated, diarrhea, constipation; bags or dark circles under the eyes, headaches, mood changes, etc.
Life without dairy is not only possible, it's necessary!
