More problems with milk:
1) It is highly allergenic.
2) Many people, such as 80% of those of African descent, cannot digest the lactose in milk. Cow's milk can therefore hardly be demonstrated as a food required for good health, when such significant numbers of humanity cannot drink it.
3) Multiple links to cancer, including that via casein, as well as increases in IGF-1.
4) Independent studies on reduction of cancer risk and cancer growth, by both the Pritikin Center and Dr. Dean Ornish, eliminate dairy in order to achieve their results.
Are any more reasons needed to seek our nutrition from less controversial foods?
- yummyfajitas 17y agoThere are certainly more reasons needed. You'd need to show that the utility gained from milk is small compared to the increased risk. In short: I love milk and cereal and am not allergic to it. I don't care about a small increase in the risk of cancer. Your reasons don't convince me at all.
- mgh2 17y agogood luck, if you love milk that much at least drink milk without hormones (labeled as no rBGH) rBGH is injected into cows to force them to overproduce milk (letting puss, bacteria, and other nasty things into the milk itself) I love it too, dont get me wrong, I grew up with it and never knew about this. There are a lot of lies out there that no one can convince you unless you research it yourself.
- scott_s 17y agoBecause other people are allergic or lactose intolerant, I shouldn't drink milk and eat dairy?
