Dairy Myths

Have you ever heard "milk helps you lose weight"? Well, it does the exact opposite. Dairy products are meant to fatten up a baby cow so it can be ready for growth. How can that make a human lose weight? Well, the American Dairy Council, creators of the famous Got Milk? slogan, pay companies to advertise that their products are healthy. Well, the truth is, it isn't. Milk contains cholesterol, fat, and calories. It also contains hormones that were meant to grow the cow's udders to an unnatural weight so they can produce more profit. When you drink milk, you drink hormones. Healthy? I think not. Also, if you research who sponsors these advertisments for milk, it is all dairy farmers or producers. So what about the doctors and government? Well, doctors don't get much nutritional training at all. The government is messed up also. The USDA openly said it was commited to helping farmers and ranchers. So there you have it. Milk makes you fat. Don't listen to advertisments.

You hear about it all the time. Osteoporosis can be prevented my drinking milk. Well, that is not true. Milk has been proven to be the exact CAUSE of osteoporosis. The animal protein in milk somehow causes osteoporosis. If milk prevents osteoporosis, then why does America and Sweden, the countries with the highest dairy intake, have the most osteoporosis? Countries in Asia, such as China, doesn't consume much milk, yet has a very low rate of osteoporosis. To prevent osteoporosis, eat A LOT less protein. On average, most people consume nearly twice the amount of protein than allowed. That is why milk and meat, which contains very high amounts of protein, cause osteoporosis. Protein is in nearly everything, but animal protein isn't healthy. Soy protein is the healthiest protein you can get, and a great source that has protein (but not to much) is peanut butter. So, another thing you thought was true about milk isn't. Starting to see a connection with advertising and health?
