________________ 22 (12) Breast cancer is the most common reason for death among women in most of the western world and the leading cause of death of women under 50. Dairy products are high in fat, animal protein, and hormones; each of which increases the risk of this cancer. An Italian study, published in the British Journal of Cancer, revealed that breast cancer risk is increased with the consumption of animal fat and protein, most significantly with dairy products. 13) People are generally apprehensive that they will not get calcium and protein in required quantities if they stop consuming milk products. However, the fact is that we do get the required amount of nutrition from other foods mentioned below: Cow Milk Sesame seeds/Til Curry leaves Almonds Soya beans Nuts and seeds Tofu Calcium content in mg (in 100 grams) 184 mg 1470 mg 830 mg 202 mg 350 mg 264 mg 350 mg Protein content in gram (in 100 grams) 6 g 18 g 13 g 21 g 17 g 33 g 7 g Protein myth -In fact, human beings do not need more protein. Required protein is obtained from any food and excessive protein is bad for health. A human being's total protein requirement is 4 or 5% of his daily caloric intake. Nature has arranged our food in such a manner that even if we live on a diet of bread and potatoes, we still get more than the required amount! According to Whole Foods nutritionist and director Ishi Khosla, "the easiest option to get protein is through soya beans. Soya beans are the best alternative to dairy products." We have created this problem. We only need to solve it.Page Navigation
