did you know that milk is poisonous to humans? government and dairy farmers and whoooever else has been saying all these years how healthy it is, when in fact, there's not a single good thing in it! You don't get calcium from it, as the protein in milk actually strips calcium from your system.

Drinking cow's milk has a very strong link to all of the following diseases/conditions, and far more that aren 't listed:

diabetes (especially juvenile-onset)
heart disease
ear infections
breast cancer
osteoporosis
prostate cancer
crohn's disease
acne
autism
colic
obesity
mucus (ever wonder why you wake up with sinus congestion when you're not sick?)


Also,in the United States, you consume an average of 322,000,000 somatic cells (that's pus to us laymen) in each literal cup of milk? Nice, huh? Our milk in the US would be illegal in Europe where the limit on somatic cells is less than half here. Our "healthy" limit is <200,000,000 per cup, and yet, every single state in the country other than hawaii is well over that amount.

Caseine does not 'strip' your body of calcium.

[Ronald S. Jr.]

The ingestion of calcium and animal protein can cause calcium deficiency in your bones. Strange, but true.

Other than the fat and protein in the milk, the big reason why babies feed on milk is for white blood cells. I didn't mean that milk was literally blood. I'm not that dumb. :lol:

Babies are fed on colostrum for a number of reasons, yes. We consume animal protein in numerous forms. Through all of my studies, I've never heard that it causes calcium deficiencies. The most common causes for calcium deficiencies are poor dietary intake and not enough vitamin D.

reread my post. In milk, you ingest animal protein as well as calcium. This excess animal protein quite literally strips the calcium in your bones. Bone health? Not from milk! Similar to doctors saying that products like Boniva and Fosamax are good to improve bone density. True, they'll make your bones more dense, but by denying your bone marrow the ability to remove dead cells. The dead cells stack up, and make your bones indeed more dense, but they're essentially dead! Dentists and maxillofacial surgeons will rarely work on patients that take such medications. In some instances, portions of patients' jaw bone were removed when extracting teeth. Obviously, not good.

As to the calcium/protein problem, there was a study done by the National Dairy Council that I read about. They gave a group of postmenopausal women three 8-oz. glasses of milk each day for two years. Their bones were compared to those of a control group that was not given the milk. The dairy group consumed 1,400mb of calcium each day, and lost bone at twice the rate of the control group.

They never repeated such a study...obviously.

Not directed at you in particular, but people need to understand that there's a difference between facts that these companies and the textbooks tell you, and all the facts. Too many companies, obviously, leave out what isn't ideal for their reputation. It isn't that it's not the truth...it's just that it's not the whole truth.

People also need to understand that most doctors and drug companies are in no way interested in keeping you healthy. Their interests depend on you staying sick. It's just good business.

[Ronald S. Jr.]

I am not sure about milk, I know people have been drinking it at the same rate for hundreds of years, so I can trust the statistics to be the same. Personally, I am not sure I can drink after some of the info posted here.

Drinking it for hundreds of years doesn't make it good. The FDA's "food pyramid" promotes sickness, not health. Again...good business.

"Be sure to get your 6-11 servings of grain every day". Yep, that'll raise your blood glucose levels, which will in turn raise your blood pressure, which will promote heart disease, which will kill you.

If it doesn't occur naturally, it shouldn't occur at all.


I understand that it's hard for most anyone to accept this information that I'm giving you. I don't blame you. For a good 80 years or more, people have taken what doctors say for gold, and believed everything the FDA, and other government agencies have been telling you. Makes sense...that's what you WANT to believe. However, as I said, while there's lots of doctors, pharmacists, and government people that would genuinely like to help you and keep you healthy, the overall agenda is not to promote health. Health in the general public does not have any positive effect on business and revenue.

[breal101]

Look, breal, nothing I can say, or even link to, is going to make you believe me. I'll link something, and you'll say "yeah, but that's by THOSE people" or what not. No offense..I'm just saying. It's not like I'm going to have a link to the FDA's website saying milk is bad...they say it's good. So basically, you won't like any info I've got.

Just pretend I didn't say anything, fella. You'll think about it now and then, though. Guaranteed.

Fortunately, I'm open minded. If someone shows me info, I'll consider it. The average person, though, will defend their traditions to the death. It's a sad way to live, but hey...most people also believe in spooks in the sky. Says a lot for them.

[breal101]

I rarely believe what the government tells me, everybody seems to have an angle these days. The recent price increase for milk would tend to influence me the most.

[Ronald S. Jr.]

I guess I'm thick headed. What's the increase in the price of milk go to do with it being healthy or not?

Dairy farmers will sometimes shamefully admit that they use bovine growth hormone and extreme amounts of antibiotics in their cows. These things are passed through meat and milk, and into us. These things are essentially poisonous. The chemical company Monsanto makes the common hormone called Posilac. This is most commonly used by dairy farmers and given to their cows which overproduce milk as it is. Cows shouldn't make as much milk as they're forced to. This induces an infection called mastitis. This is where the pus and bacteria (from the infection) mostly enter the milk. Besides being dangerous and disgusting, this pus can contain paratuberculosis bacteria, which is the cause of Crohn's Disease in humans.

[breal101]

Well if I buy less, I will be healthier. Personally I am more concerned about artificial sweeteners than milk. Take a look at aspartame studies.

[Ronald S. Jr.]

oh yes. Sugar isn't any good for you, either. Sweet and low, splenda, equal, aspartame, etc. haven't been used all that long, and already have studies shown where they cause cancer, amongst numerous other diseases.

A widely available herbal alternative, called Stevia (extract), has been used around the world for over 400 years, and with the exception of allergies to it, has never had a single ill effect recorded. It can be used just like sugar can. It's available in liquid or crystal form.

[Moppie]

DYK Chron's Disease has a largely genetic component to its cause.

[-Pleiades-]

I didn't the experts knew about a cause to Crohn's Disease?

[Ronald S. Jr.]

It's far from strictly genetic. This paratuberculosis relation is proven.

[breal101]

We can agree on that, sugar would be better used to fuel our cars rather than our bodies.

[the_incubus]

ron, do you use stavia?

[Ronald S. Jr.]

Stevia. Yes, when I want something sweetened, I do. It's rare, though. I've never been a big fan of sweet things. My mother sweetens her tea with it, bakes with it, and uses flavored (naturally) Stevia drops in sparkling water, such as Pellegrino.

[Moppie]

It's far from strictly genetic. This paratuberculosis relation is proven.


Actually it can be tested for genetically, and it requires a specific chromosome to occur.

I used to work with someone who had 3 siblings, all with Chone's in varies stages. He however did not have it, but as you can imagine knew a lot about it.

[Ronald S. Jr.]

Right, but I'm saying that it's not the only way it occurs.

It's funny in a way...my cousin started becoming severely allergic to milk (not sure on the specifics) and dairy products. It got to the point that some organs started to shut down. They fixed that, more or less (with medication, unfortunately), but now he's developed Crohn's Disease. Fantastic stuff. :rolleyes:

Consumption of excess protein with little fruits/vegetables can indeed have a negative affect on bone growth. But it's not the protein that is actually 'stripping' bones of calcium. The calcium is used as a buffer to prevent acidosis when excess proteins are ingested.

"the vitamin C is destroyed by the heat in pasteurization process.

DYK that they don't do PSA (test that checks for prostate cancer in men) on men over the age of 70 because all men over 70 have cancer cells in their prostate?

DYK, never have a PSA test after riding a bike.

DYK...if you get a bunch of photographers together and ask them for interesting facts, all they'll talk about is cancer and disease.


Oh, and pandas.

DYK that some day photographers wont exist, everything will be captured by satellites and recorded and sorted automatically then printed out on earth.

no...remember, milk is baby food. Adults shouldn't drink eat.

Unless it's been mixed with eggs, lots of sugar, chocolate, nuts and topped with whipped cream and a cherry. :D

Human breast milk is baby food. No one should drink a cow's milk. No animal's milk, for that matter.

i guarantee every guy who read this checked to see if their ring finger was longer than their index! :lol:Believe me, I didn't have to look at my ring finger to realize that it must be pretty short ;).

did you know sunday is the worst day for grocery shopping?
DYK....that there are actually people waiting in line at the front door of the grocery store at 6am to do the weeks grocery shopping or going to the store at 12am to do the shopping before closing time of 1am.:rolleyes:

[Citizensmith]

That's silly...just dig out the bad road and put in new.

Not really. Resurfacing is something you can do in one night so its cheap and has minimal impact on traffic. Digging out the road and laying a new one would be a huge job, cost way more, and cause traffic problems due to shut down lanes.

That Rachel Ray will say anything on tv to get people to continue watching.

That is very annoying. Knowing me, I would have just gone right up there and grabbed any cilantro, whipped around so it would spray all the excess water on him and walked away.

I was picking up some veggies from the Safeway up the road. There was a thunder storm sound effect and all the little sprinklers turned on to make sure the veggies all looked fresh. I guess the concept may work for some people, I just thought it sounded so lame I almost started laughing.

lol. i loved from the east coast a few months back. and it rains there all of the time. became apart of life, and you worked around the rain.

it hasnt rained here in nearly 6 months, and when i hear them at the store i giggle to myself because i find it so strange for it not to rain here.

Of course, I'm so dense that it took getting soaked about 3 times before I made the connection between the sound and the spray :oops:.

Naw, that's why I wear earplugs when I go shopping. At least I understand why you were carrying that umbrella you kept poking me with. I always thought the showers were just a signal I had outstayed my welcome.:lol:

[gjl711]

i dont care what it causes im never gonna stop eating BBQd Armadillo!
DYK that armadillos can jump? While driving down a country road in Tx late one night I spotted what I though was a small rock so I straddled it with my car. I heard a huge bang and steam came blowing out my front end. I pulled over and burred in my grill was an armadillo. He had hit so hard that it drove the radiator into the fan.

[Clint]

DYK that you are correct, also they can clear the ground over 5 feet. FACT

[gjl711]

Holy crap!!! He could have come in through the winshield. That would have really sucked, death by armadillo. :confused:

Ok, hold on to your shorts. Here is my BIGGEST DID YOU KNOW. As far as I know this information exists NO WHERE ELSE on the entire Internet. So when you hear about it ANYWHERE else from this point forward; when you repeat this story to your children and grandchildren; you can say "BillsBayou discovered the wierdest most useless bit of info on the PLANET."

Now that I have your attention...

Opening a BreathRight strip's individually wrapped envelope will cause the glue to GLOW BLUE! This also works for the individually wrapped envelopes containing BandAid bandages. The light is faint and can only be viewed in very dark rooms.

I discovered this while opening an individually wrapped BreathRight strip IN THE DARK. This is the sort of product you'd open in the dark. I opened the individually wrapped product by quickly pulling on the two halves of the paper envelope. As the two halves separate, the glue gives off a faint blue light. The light can be seen at the seam where the papers are separating. The harder you pull, the brighter the light.

You read it here first. You will NOT forget this day.

I knew that already....and it could be done with almost any product that has that same type of packaging. Rather neat if I say so my self....once, I don't know exactly what I did, but the blue light was bright enough to light my son's face who was laying next to me on the bed asleep. I was opening a menthol breathright strip...those are great.

[BillsBayou]

I didn't know you knew. ;)

[3Turner]

Guess, you and I are the only ones who knew ;) :lol:
