Don't Drink Your Milk!

Drink milk, it is high in protein, and calcium, good for your bones. Doctors in England have found a link between Nations that are highly dependent on dairy, and the high rates of breast, and ovarian cancer. Other studies have shown elimentating dairy improves the symptom of arthritis, as well. One thing the author here explains is what calcium is good for, to neutralize acids, and sugars, we consume daily. He may also have mentioned it, and may have missed it but calcium is also used to neutralize protien, specifically animal protien. As for milk, the lower the fat content, the higher the protien content. I mention this because animal protien is the biggest cause of calcium leeching. Not to mention caffine. Calcium leeching leads to osteoporosis. So we march marrily along to the doctor's office to get some supplimental calcium. But we continue to consume dairy products, and animal protien further weakening our bones. Akin to trying to fill a bucket with a hole in the bottom. As yet another reviewer has mentioned we do not need milk once we are weaned, and even before that we certainly do not need the milk from an animal. This book is loaded with good information for the health conscious, and the uninformed. Educate yourself, your family and friends about how milk does a body bad. Oh and did I mention the growth hormones, the steroids, and the anti-bacterial agents found in dairy products, and how some years back girls as young as 8, and 9 years of age were begining to develope breasts, and grow pubic hair. All of this traced to the consumption of dairy products loaded with growth hormones. Do your body good read this very well written,and informative book, and question the habit we have of consuming dairy products.

I already owned this book (I'm a gynecologist), but I bought this copy to give to my daughter's pediatrician. At our annual visit, she asked my daughter "Have you been drinking your milk?" just like the American Dairy Council wants her to do and I felt a need to educate her. Much of what doctors are taught about the "value" of milk products is supported by Dairy Council funding in one way or another and is certainly not based on science. Our country's "recommended requirement" for calcium is more than twice that of the rest of the world. (Most doctors don't know this.) (Check out the WHO website). Why is that? In order to help sell more milk perhaps? Think about it and definitely read this book. It's full of very interesting data.

Oski's book has not been popular mainly because people are simply turned off by the title. Why should we not drink something that has been ingrained into our heads since childhood that milk is the best thing we can put into our bodies? You will be surprised at the looks you will get from people who happen to hear you repeat what you will learn from this awesome book. Learn the truth about milk's non-absorbable calcium and osteoporosis. One need not be a doctor to understand this book either. Some people undoubtedly will read this book and continue to consume milk because they don't like change and it is like taking away part of their heritage and no amount of truth will convince them. This book is a must read!

Dr. Oski wrote this book at a time when only those "on the fringe" spoke out against cow's milk. This book coined the phrase "Resume' of a Cow's Lunch" to describe the real ingredients in cow's milk as being a function of what the cow has eaten or been injected with. Dr. Oski's message is clear - there's NO reason for ANY human to EVER drink cow's milk.
