Milk – an ecological mismanagement and a major force behind today’s sicknesses?

Obesity, heart disease, cancer, and especially osteoporosis are all linked to dairy consumption. After her first article on milk ‘Should children be given milk?‘, Dr. Nandita Shah gives us another in-depth view on milk and its effects on human health.

Please have in mind that some of her observations have an emphasis on her homeland in India. Nevertheless, the conclusions regarding health are universal and apply to all other parts of the world simply because there is – basically – just one human body.

We do understand that milk is a topic which easily provokes a heated debate over the pros and cons of dairy consumption. Please try to look at it as an information and not an opinion.

Anyone, of course, can freely choose whether to integrate milk into one’s lifestyle or not – we personally believe (and tested it for ourselves) that it is the right choice not to do so. Thank you, and here is Dr. Nandita Shah and her article:

The difference between cow’s milk and human milk

Cow’s milk is suited to the nutritional needs of calves, which double their weight in 47 days and weigh 1,100-1,200 pounds within two years. It contains about three times as much protein as human milk and almost two times more fat.

At no stage in our life cycle do we require more protein as a percentage of our total dietary intake than during infancy, the period of maximum growth.

Cow’s milk: a cocktail of pus, hormones and antibiotics, pesticides, urea!

Various means to increase milk production cause induration and infection of the udder (mastitis) resulting in pus and bacteria in the milk. Paratuberculosis bacteria causes Johne’s disease in cattle and is believed to cause Crohn’s disease, (an illness that causes uncontrollable diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting) in humans.

Due to intensive modern farming practices, the US has the highest rate of Crohn’s ever recorded and the worst epidemic of Johne’s disease.
