DAMAGES OF MILK
10 reasons to eliminate milk and cheese From VegSource, here is a brief summary of why 'dairy products should be avoided!
1. The dairy products destroy the bones. The countries of the world where you can drink more milk have more 'osteoporosis and fractures of the pelvis. Hand in hand with increased consumption of milk / dairy products and calcium also increases the factors risk for osteoporosis and bone fractures. The high levels of sodium and animal protein procure body metabolic acidosis (ie the blood becomes acidic). To compensate for this, the body pulls minerals from the bones (including football, in fact) - to take advantage of their great alkalizing effect - and then deletes them in the urine. In short: more milk and dairy products you eat, the more you have bone loss.
2. There are excellent vegetable sources of calcium that do not cause metabolic acidosis, and indeed are alkaline and help bone health. The broccoli, kale, other green leafy vegetables, sesame seeds, tahini, tofu with added calcium and the milk plant and fortified fruit juices have adequate amounts of calcium that meet daily needs.
3. The single most important factor for bone health is the movement. To increase and maintain bone density, it is necessary to live the bones regularly. To increase the mass and prevent osteoporosis introduce resistance training and some activities such as walking or jogging. This factor is far more important than any nutritional component.
4. casein - the main protein of milk - causes psychological dependence. Have you noticed that the more cheese you eat, the more you want? In the brain, when you drink milk or eat cheese, are formed casomorphin. These are substances that produce opiate-like euphoria, and they feel the need to ingest more milk and cheese. The only way to break this cycle of dependency is to quit completely.
5. Casein is a potent carcinogen. Dr. T. Colin Campbell, author of The China Study, in decades of research has found that casein is a potent promoter of cancer.
6. Dairy products produce high levels of saturated fat and cholesterol, known causes atherosclerosis. This leads to heart disease.
7. The vitamin D has an important role in bone health. Regardless of the amount calcium is consumed, used to absorb vitamin D. In addition, the 70-97% of the population has levels of vitamin D insufficient or deficient. Ask your doctor for a review of 25-hydroxyvitamin D, and if the level is to be below 35-50 ng / mL, add a daily dose of sunlight (just a few minutes in the middle of the day without sunscreen). If this does not improve your levels of vitamin D, you need a supplement.
8. We are the only species who drink the secretions of another species and lactation 'the only species that continues to drink milk after weaning.
9. addition to being unhealthy and self-promote diseases, dairy products are full of pesticides, antibiotics, hormones (even if they come from organic farming), steroids, heavy metals and other toxins administered to cows to increase milk production.
10. 70% of the world population is lactose intolerant. The fact that most human beings react with painful gastrointestinal symptoms to the consumption of dairy products, demonstrates that the human body is not made for the consumption of milk and dairy products. Currently, doctors and nutritionists are pushing for the use of the enzyme lactase and other medicines that relieve symptoms in order to ensure "adequate" intake of dairy products. But if we force our body to accept something that does not want, is it not a sign that something is wrong?
