We all grow up being forced to drink milk for healthy bones and a white smile. Most get weaned off Mothers milk and straight onto cow's milk. But, unless you are consuming raw milk you are drinking little more than hard to digest sugar water with added chemicals. The real problem arises when you pasteurize milk, a process that boils the milk at 155 degrees for up to 30 minutes.
No Calcium - Most people drink milk for the calcium. Following pasteurization 50% of the Calcium and all the enzymes in the milk are destroyed. The enzyme Phosphotase assimilates Calcium without it we cannot digest calcium. Minimal calcium gets absorbed. You are much better getting your calcium from leafy greens and vegetables.
Got a Yeast infection? Milk may be adding to the problem. Destroying the enzyme Galactase, the milk sugar Galactose cannot be digested. If you are drinking low fat milk you now have a liquid similar to sugar water producing a great breeding ground for those nasty parasites in your gut.
Kills friendly bacteria - Lactic acid producing bacteria protect milk from harmful pathogens. These friendly bacteria fight against the unfriendly bacteria. Without our army of bacteria we are susceptible to attack. All reported cases of Salmonella have been in pasteurized milk not healthy living raw milk.
Destroys Vitamins & Minerals - Along with Calcium 80% of all other water soluble vitamins are damaged. B12 a highly important vitamin that combats fatigue is totally destroyed. Other important minerals like Sulphur, Sodium and Potassium also have their availability reduced.
Free Radical Damage - During the heat process of pasteurization the milk fats go rancid. Chemicals are added to suppress the rancidity of the milk and to improve its odour and taste. Many even fortify the milk with added synthetic D vitamins. The body has to draw on its natural nutrient resources to handle these poisons.
Strain on the pancreas - Without enzymes the pancreas has to work extra hard to digest the milk. Without the milk sugar digesting enzyme Gatactase, the pancreas can get worn out constantly digesting this sugar water.
Growth Hormones & Antibiotic resistance - Most milk consumed today is still NOT organic. So now you have the added problem of Growth hormones that are fed to double cows milking time. This often leads to infections and puss on the udder caused by constant milking. This puss ends up in the milk. To control infections cows are put on antibiotics, later consumed by the public. A slow build up of antibiotics in your system leads to a resistance.
