Milk A-Z

Mr. Cohen has synthesized the essence of his 580 page NOTMILK.com WEB site, and the companion HUNGERSTRIKE.com (on rbGH shots given to cows to make MORE milk for a glutted market) into a delightful easy to read book that covers diseases from A to Z... and the milk/dairy elements that can cause those problems. Each alphabet letter has quotes from a wide range of respected scientific journals that support the statement he makes for each letter. For the dairy consumer with medical problems... read, heed, abandon dairy... and perhaps get better (or well) for free. If you cannot pass the NOTMILKmans quiz at ... you DO need this book.By the way. I have been off all milk and dairy for a bit over three years now... and my case of terminal prostate cancer now grows three times more slowly without the bovine-provided IGF-1 growth hormone (one of 59 bioactive hormones in milk and dairy). Just one of many reasons to consider dairy NOT a taste to die for.

This book is an eye-opener. Robert Cohen explains in "layman-ese" why humans have no real need for cow's milk. He also demonstrates that the people in power in our government are more interested in lining their pockets than they are in our health. The conflicts of interest and levels of corruption within the FDA and USDA are frightening. I already had some education in nutrition and had my doubts about dairy products, but this book has raised another concern....I now think twice about ANY label that I read or about any "claims" made by our government or the mainstream media. Even those who are sucked in by the dairy industry advertising and are skeptical of dairy "critics" will be convinced with the overwhelming evidence that Robert Cohen presents. He is very thorough and has the documents and references to back himself up. Anyone who has a real interest in being healthy should read this book.

The author has passionately described in great detail the thing that most people do not want to hear. Cohen is attacking the the first cousin of apple pie, Mom, and the flag - milk. We all have drank it for years and most don't want to think about giving it up. However, if Mr. Cohen is correct (and I believe he is), you have a responsibilty to yourself and your family to test it out. Mr. Cohen is fighting an uphill battle, but I believe he is causing a groud swell of the population that is taking health into their own hands. The Wall Street Journal's (Aug 3) front page talked about the surge of non dairy milks (soy) and it's continued growing popularity. Read Mr. Cohen's book (stay with it, it isn't easy reading) and you will become convicted to research this topic even further. sjc

I perform research in a neuroscience lab at one of the nation's leading medical colleges. Reading Dr. Cohen's book grabbed my attention on several different levels. First, the list of ingredients in a carton of milk: an extensive list of hormones and antibiotics, virus particles, live(antibody-resistant)bacteria, pus, fat, etc. Second, the corruption of the FDA and science as an institution. I was surprised to discover that prestigious scientific journals were used as vehicles (bribed?) to publish results of a pharmaceutical company's highly biased research results (in a jargon-encrypted form). The conclusions of these journals would be cited by non-scientific newspaper journalists, thus giving the conclusions an air of acceptability to the general public. And the practice of "scientists" that work for the drug companies reviewing their own research as employees of the FDA is incredibly unethical. Third, these same publications set precedence for marketing of a genetically-engineered product for human consumption. Forth, a steady stream of multi-media advertising propaganda equal to brainwashing has been going on for decades to sell milk. In fact, milk is strongly implicated to play a major role in heart disease, the nation's number one killer. I was raised on a steady diet of milk and dairy products. If my parents had known then what I know now, I bet that things would have been different. Of all the books I have read in the past 5 years on nutrition, this one has changed my life the most. Inform yourself, you have your health (and life) to lose!

Because dairy is used by millions of people, the truth, and nothing but the truth, is imperative so consumers can take educated responsibility for their health. The public has been lied to by the Dairy Council, the FDA and Monsanto Chemical Company as respects the bovine growth hormone, including those who are willing to be "funded" to spread the lie. People like the famed late Dr. Spock tried to tell the world about milk. Now here comes Robert Cohen after years of research and concern for public health, with the courage to tell us the truth and nothing but the truth. And with brilliance mixed with compassion for human life he says it all. This book is the bible of diary and everyone should read it if he or she has thoughts of consuming it or has loved ones to protect. It took courage to write this book and give the true facts on such a commonly used product. We now know how much the public has been lied by those who are there to protect our health. We are all in the debt of Robert Cohen.
