milk products. Charles Attwood, M.D., and T. Colin Campbell, Ph.D.,
have written,
Human epidemiological studies have strongly related animal protein
consumption to various cancers. Of all animal protein, there is
strong experimental evidence that casein, the principal protein of
milk, is especially capable of promoting cancer development. . . .
What are the other problems with milk and dairy products? The
majority of practicing pediatric allergists insist that more than half of
their patients are allergic to one or more of milk’s more than two
dozen proteins. Their allergy symptoms include eczema, asthma,
middle ear infections, sinus infections, rhinitis, gastroenteritis, and
allergic colitis—conditions responsible for eighty to ninety percent of
doctor’s office visits. . . . 20
Eighty to ninety percent of doctor’s office visits—it’s not surprising
that dairy products are promoted so heavily by the pharmaceuticalmedia-banking
complex and that plant-based diets are discouraged.
The huge pathogen load that is permissible in pasteurized milk—
five million pathogens per cup, more than two hundred times the load
found in grains, vegetables, fruits, legumes, and nuts if uncontaminated
in handling 21 —is a constant stress on the immune system and may
increase risks for a whole spectrum of diseases as well as cancers of all
types, especially breast and prostate cancer. 22 Cow’s milk contains large
amounts of pus, which is inevitable due to the high levels of bacteria in
the traumatized udders of dairy cows, and pasteurization does not stem
the incoming pathogen tide. Some pasteurized milk samples bought and
tested by Consumer Reports contained as many as 30 million to 700
million microbes per cup! 23 These pathogens, besides increasing risks
for gastroenteritis, strep, and a variety of other illnesses, are also
known to promote tooth decay, and babies who go to sleep nursing a
bottle with cow’s milk are well known to risk partial or even complete
dissolution of their teeth! 24 According to researchers cited by Frank
Oski, M.D., eating dairy products is linked with diarrhea, irondeficiency
anemia, gastrointestinal bleeding, kidney disease, eczema,
