THE TRUTH ABOUT MILK From the time you were born until now, no matter what age you are, you were brought up believing milk was good for you. It provided calcium, prevented osteoporosis, and even aided weight loss. Each doctor’s appointment I had as a child, I can remember my doctor asking me, “Have you had your glass of milk today?” Then my eyes would light up with pride and I’d say, ”Oh why sure I did doctor!” That was my answer up until I realized to become a pediatrician you needed exactly three hours of training in nutrition. Pasteurized farm milk is bad for you. Consider this: we are the only animal on the planet that continues to drink milk after that first transitioning phase when our mother’s feed us. If that’s not convincing enough then consider this: Cow’s milk has three times the protein human’s milk has and almost no fat. In comparison, human’s milk has twice the carb count and much more fat. Human’s milk and cow’s milk are not compatible. Many scientists believe this is one of the contributing reasons humans have begun to form allergies to milk. In a conversation recently with my grandfather he commented on when he was growing up he didn’t know one kid with an allergy to anything. Today, in my immediate family alone, three people have allergies to milk. In addition to the incompatible ratios of the two milks, scientists also believe that the proteins in the cow’s milk (whey & casein) along with the lactose (milk-sugar), allergies have immerged. The issue with lactose is that by the time most humans reach late childhood/adolescence scientists average 70% of us lose the enzyme that enable our bodies to break down this sugar. Without this enzyme active, our valves become backed up and our stomachs feel intense cramping which all means that you are indeed lactose intolerant. Now, if you’re beginning to wonder about calcium, the next
