Humans are the only mammals who continue to drink milk after infancy. When a baby is born its stomach contains the rennet necessary for the digestion of its natural food, its mother's milk. After ten to eleven months, this rennet gradually ceases to be secreted and it never returns. This means that cow or goat's milk can't be digested and assimilated by a human being after we're about one year old.
In America, milk is big business. Diet "experts" of the diary industry tell us about the wonders of pasteurized milk, exhorting us all to drink milk for calcium to make strong bones and teeth. The experts neglect to add that too much milk causes heavy mucus conditions in the sinuses, throat, lungs, and bowels or that milk is a factor in making children grow tall and that there is strong scientific evidence that very tall people are less healthy and shorter lived than the average. They suffer from diseases of the blood vessels in the legs, have a great tendency to high blood pressure, and foot and back troubles. Also omitted is the fact that adults, having attained their normal bone growth, will assimilate only the amount of calcium necessary to their body chemistry. The residues of excess calcium can case difficulties.
Most dairy cows never roam a green meadow or get sunshine. They spend their lives in cement barns where milk is produced on an assembly line basis and are fed on material grown with chemical fertilizer and heavily saturated with pesticides. This confinement makes for sick cows that are given various antibiotic injections to keep them producing.
Cheese made from the milk of these sick cows is heavily salted. Additives are put into commercial cottage cheese and yogurt for uniform eye and taste appeal. Without the rennet necessary for digestion cheese lies in the organs until it decays.
More each day, people are turning to organic milk and organic milk products for the perceived health benefits, or for animal rights and environmental issues. Whatever the reason, milk and milk products are only beneficial to infants and if mother's milk is not an option, organic milk over conventional milk is by far the healthier choice.
To your good health and long life!
