3b. Milk... is it really a healthy drink?
1. Milk is a complete meal, but for the calves of animals.
2. Many research papers suggest that humans do not need animal milk. Human being is the only animal that drinks the milk of another animal. 3. As age increases- animals stop drinking milk. Human being are the only beings that continue drinking milk even when as they age.
4. Milk does not provide any iron. It actually blocks its absorption. Vegetables are best source of iron. Milk is very poor in iron content. About 50 gallons of milk are equivalent in iron content to one bowl of spinach! Green leafy vegetables are the best source of iron.
5. Milk contains fat and cholesterol. It has no fibre. Same as meat.
MILK
INGREDIENTS: RAPE, TORTURE, ANIMAL ABUSE, INFANTICIDE, MURDER, HEART
DISEASE, BREAST CANCER, OBESITY, OSTEOPOROSIS, DIABETES
Milk consumption could lead to heart disease, cancer, and diabetes. Consuming the milk meant for calves puts human beings at risk for a host of ailments including cardiovascular disease, certain forms of cancer and diabetes. The cholesterol and saturated fat in dairy products tend to raise blood cholesterol levels, which increases the risk of artery blockages. 7. About 33% Indians (70% Southern Indian) are lactose intolerant. Their body is not able to segregate sugar from milk and therefore they suffer from various diseases.
8. At a news conference in Mumbai, Dr Shobha Raul, chairperson of the Child and Welfare Committee, reported that "most cattle in the city are afflicted with tuberculosis (TB), which contaminates the milk consumed by lakhs of Mumbaikars. One of the main causes of TB is the consumption of infected milk; not surprisingly, 20,000 cases of TB are reported annually in Mumbai".
We will be shocked to know that some dairies add 'wastage of slaughter houses-which contains bones and other body parts of animals' to feed animals... We really do not know what we are consuming when we drink milk
