What they don’t tell you about MILK; but you ought to know.

Diseases & health conditions linked to milk consumption:

• Osteoporosis;
• Childhood diabetes;
• Damaged immune system;
• Allergies;
• Respiratory problems;
• High cholesterol;
• Heart disease;
• Stomach acid;
• Cataracts;
• Arthritis;
• & at least other 40 health problems!

Shocked?!

In actual fact, milk weakens the bones and accelerates osteoporosis. Milk makes the stomach more acidic. Mlk contains health-impairing antibiotics, growth hormones, and disease-causing bacteria. Milk stimulates cancer growth, causes childhood diabetes, heart diseases and more.

Been noticing more and more Milk advertisements on the media, be it the TV, or advertisements at bus stops or anywhere else. And common people like us buy their claims that milk is good for health.

Lets say; for instance, osteoporosis. Osteoporosis results from calcium loss, not insufficient calcium intake. and dairy products like milk promote calcium loss through urine because of their high protein content. Furthermore, the calcium lost from our bones due to excess protein ends up in our urine and produces very high levels of calcium in the kidney system and all too often crystallising into kidney stones. Which explains why milk causes kidney stones.

Its also due to the lack of magnesium in cow’s milk. Magnesium together with Calcium and vitamin D, are necessary for the body to absorb calcium, without it, the body only absorbs 25% of the available daily calcium content, causing unabsorbed calcium to remain in the bloodstream and could contribute to not only kidney stones but also gallstones! Psst, the calcium also can form on the arterial wall, or in joins as arthritis or as cysts and spurs!

Milk also causes early maturity, which might not be a good thing for young children, if they can’t cope with the differences and all.

Worst still, it can also cause childhood diabetes. scary ain’t it? Researchers say that certain proteins in cow’s milk resemble molecules in the beta cells of the pancreas that secrete insulin. In some cases, the immune system makes antibodies to the milk protein. The antibodies might then mistakenly attack and destroy the beta calles which are actually the ones producing insulin, thus resulting in diabetes.

There’s really too much to explain, so all in all, if you believe, reduce intakes of milk.

Researchers say that Children no longer need milk after the age of 2!
