Milk: The Deadly Poison

American milk is banned in Europe and has been for some time. The reason for the ban, is the use of Bovine Growth Hormone in cows. BGH is a natural hormone that cows produce, and back in the early 90s Monsanto created their own version of it, which Americans now inject into cows in order to increase their milk production.The modern milk cow is already pushed to exhaustion, and attempting to increase milk production is inhumane.

BGH hurts the cows, they suffer from lameness, sterility, anemia and they get puss in their teats, which winds up in the milk and it also gives them bone cancer. BGH can be deadly to humans as it is linked to a long list of health conditions including:

Cancers – prostate cancer in men and breast cancer in women
Diabetes
Crohn’s
Obesity
Heart disease
Allergies
Digestive problems
Asthma
Osteoporosis
Calcium Deficiency

In a very amusing little book called, “50 Things You Are Not Supposed to Know”, I read of a secret that has been kept from consumers for years. Cows suffer from a type of leukemia known as BLV. Eighty-nine percent of all herds in America have BLV and it is especially bad in the Southeast region where 99% of herds have the tumor-causing bug.

In theory the virus is killed when the milk is pasteurized and in fact, no one knows if that is true or not. Several medical studies have found a correlation between higher milk/beef consumption and leukemia or lymphoma.

Latte, cappuccino, anyone? Might not be a such good idea, go for an espresso, much safer for now and supplement your diet with fresh fruits and vegetables rich in calcium instead.
