Got Milk? Maybe Not! Its a study the dairy industry must wish had never been done. And it came out shortly after it dropped that familiar slogan, Got Milk, in place of a new line: Milk Life. But its looking like that new one is dead wrong. You might even say its a case of false advertising. Because researchers in Sweden have discovered startling new information about milk and dairy -- actually, about the people who cant have milk and dairy.... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The milk myth ---------------------------------------------------------------------- It looks like its time to lose that milk mustache once and for all. Ive warned you about the dangers of milk quite a bit here over the years. Especially about the pasteurized and low-fat varieties. But this study looked at milk and dairy from a different perspective. Researchers in Sweden crunched lots of data about people there who are lactose intolerant. Those who have trouble digesting the sugar in dairy food eat much less of it than the rest of us do. And they also have much less of something else. Cancer. The researchers discovered that lactose intolerant people in Sweden have significantly lower rates of lung, breast and ovarian cancers. And heres the really interesting part. Their relatives -- brothers, sisters and parents who didnt suffer from this digestive problem -- they had the exact same risk for those cancers as the rest of the population. So we know it isnt some special thing in their genes or environment that was giving them this extra protection. And they didnt just look at a few dozen people either, but over 23,000. They found the cancer risks were lower for both men and women, and even those who werent born in Sweden. Now, the researchers tried to come up with some reasons to explain what they found. (It looks like they didnt want to be in the crosshairs of the dairy industry.) So they said maybe people who dont drink milk weigh less, since they avoid those extra calories. Or that the plant-based drinks they might use instead, things like soy or almond milk, have protective ingredients in them. Sorry, but those excuses dont sound like they hold water to me. Because this isnt the first time that milk has been on the hot seat. And not just for cancer, either, but for bone fractures (youre reading that right -- bone fractures!), IBS, and allergies. And were told to drink 3 cups of it a day. Thats absolutely insane. Then theres that toxic process called pasteurization. The mantra goes that without pasteurizing milk wed all be dropping like flies from deadly bacteria. But all pasteurization really does is to strip away all the valuable nutrients milk had in the first place. Im talking about magnesium, CLA (a fatty acid), vitamin C, amino acids, and other key enzymes. Could it be the pasteurization process is whats making milk so deadly? Dr. Spreen goes so far as to say that pasteurized, homogenized milk does not qualify as a food in my opinion. So if you still want to enjoy a glass, it should only come from raw milk given by pasture-fed cows who werent injected with antibiotics or growth hormones. Otherwise, based on this research from Sweden, wiping off that milk moustache could be the single easiest way to avoid cancer. -- how schizophrenic is the nfl? in november they honor our heroes in the military, when in october they honor the baby murderers in planned parenthood. to believe there are good, moderate muslims is like believing there are good, moderate nazis.
