Before I begin to discuss the importance of not
drinking cow’s milk, I ask that if anyone believes that this
article is in anyway false, please fell free to do your own
research and challenge this issue. I guarantee that you will not
only find information that supports this article, but you will
think twice before drinking milk again.

Asked what
single change in the American diet would produce the greatest
health benefit, Washington DC based pediatrician Russell Bunai,
says “Eliminating dairy products out of the diet.”

We were
raised to think of cow’s milk as a perfect food. The National Dairy
Council advertises that “milk is natural” and If you don’t drink
milk, the council will tell you that your bones will become brittle
and your strength will fade due to a lack of calcium. Many
Americans out of fear make dairy products a staple of their diets.
Knowledge is a killer of fear. The more you know the less you fear.
Drinking milk will not make you big and strong, nor will it prevent
osteoporosis.

Cows do not
drink cow’s milk. Calves stop drinking cow’s milk between the ages
of six to eight months. Humans are the only species that drink the
milk of another animal. You will never see a kitten drink milk from
a goat, or a doe drink milk from a bear. However, we have been
conditioned to think that we must drink milk from cows. We are told
that we must drink milk from cows. We are told that we must drink
cow’s milk for the rest of our lives. No adult animal continues to
drink milk after they are weaned. We, as humans, drink milk from an
adult animal that do not drink their own milk after they reach 7
months of age. Would you drink milk from lactating women? To my
surprise when I ask this question, many people frown in disgust.
Human milk is made for human consumption for a specific period of
time. It has the appropriate nutrients dedicated to building and
maintaining our bodies. After 22-24 months, humans no longer need
their mother’s milk. So why are we still drinking cow’s milk as
adults? Not to mention giving it to our children. Cow’s milk is
meant to turn a 200-puound calf in to a 2,000-pound cow. This
reason alone is why America is the leading country in the world of
obesity.

The Biggest
problem with cow’s milk is that the protein in the cow’s milk
damages the human immune system. Amino acids, the units that make
up proteins, are building blocks for all living cells. When amino
acids in our food are properly broken down by the digestive system
into protein, it does no harm to the immune system. Protein from
milk, however, is absorbed into the blood fully indigested,
provoking an immune response. Repeated exposure to these proteins
disrupts normal immune functions and may eventually lead to
diseases.

Every child
that has an ear infection drinks some form of cow’s milk. Children
who are breast fed only do not have ear infections. Also know that
antibiotic does not cure ear infections. The average American
drinks milk and eat cheese containing new strains of bacteria,
immune to the 52 different antibiotics, which are also, present in
milk. Therefore, no matter how many painful
shots you subject your child to…………it’s all in vain because it will
not work.

If you or anyone in
your family is experiencing health problems of almost any kind and
dairy is apart of your diet, it makes sense to completely eliminate
the dairy for at least a month and observe the results. You would
be surprise at the outcome.
