4.- MILK – ITS IMPACT ON HEALTH, CRUELTY, AND POLLUTION
They found arsenic, cadmium and lead. This causes kidney damage, heart disease, brain damage and cancer. Their findings were based on 50.000 samples and the report was released at a press conference. What did Dr Kurien and the Operation Flood people have to say? More samples should have been taken!
Other things put in your milk is sewage water, vegetable oil, and liquid soap. In some cases, earthworms are put in because they excrete slime which increases the density of the milk!
You have said that drinking milk is drinking the cow's blood? Milk and blood come from the same source; the body cells of the cow. Every time you drink a glass of milk, remember it comes from a sad, suffering mother whose own child was killed before her eyes and who herself will be killed when she dries up. Won't the stoppage of milk lead to thousands being unemployed? Many people are dependent on smuggling, thievery, begging, drug pushing, gun running and terrorism. Do we buy their products to help them?
What is the substitute for milk? What is the substitute to a placebo? Anything else such as Soya bean milk, all green vegetables, and lentils (dal). My son has never drunk milk in his life. He is 6 feet and has never been sick a single day!
