Got Milk?....S/B Got Cancer!
How many of you are constantly telling your children to finish their milk? I know I did it when raising my daughter. I also became a big milk drinker myself....just love the stuff.
Fortunately for me, having grown up in a family of ten, we couldn't afford to drink milk all the time...most of the time, we just received it with our free school lunch. Now I'm almost glad that was the case.
How many animals do you see in the animal kingdom, that continue to drink milk once they are past the suckling stage? Heck, even your vet will tell you not to give your adult cat milk on a regular basis. Yet we get bombarded all the time in TV commercials and newspaper/magazine ads, on the benefits of drinking three glasses of milk a day for life!
What is all of this leading to:
There's a bovine growth hormone (BGH) that they've been injecting into cows so that the cows' milk production increases. Great for the dairy farmer....but what of the hormone that gets passed into the milk supply that you and I and our kids drink every day?
Dr. Samuel Epstein, Scientist, University of Illinois: "...there are highly suggestive if not persuasive lines of evidence showing that consumption of this milk poses risks of breast and colon cancer."
And to top it all off.....the reporters that uncovered this information, were dismissed from their jobs because they refused to "skew" the report.
Now add on top of that the fact that no one is able to label their milk or dairy product BGH (the hormone) free....(Ben & Gerry's ice cream wanted to put it on their label, but was told that they couldn't), and you have yourself a nice big cover-up of what you, I, and everyone else who consumes dairy, is putting in their body.
Don't forget the part that Monsanto, the makers of BGH, is also the same company that years ago said PCBs were safe! Just goes to show you where their interests really are!
You can read all about the court battle that the reporters have been going through at this link:
BGH Suit
So unless you know the farmer that your milk is coming from....you have no way of knowing what milk at the grocery store has BGH in it and what milk doesn't!
I keep saying.....get back to organic! Just add this to the list of reasons why. It definitely is going to be of greater benefit for you to get your level of daily calcium from other than milk!
