WHY CUTTING MILK, SUGAR, ASPARTAME AND MSG IS A GOOD IDEA
MILK
Even though milk has a low glycemic index, milk has a lot of harmful products. Many are not aware that milk consumption is directly linked to Juvenile Diabetes. The American Academy of Pediatrics, in 1994, strongly encouraged families with a diabetic history, NOT to give cow’s milk or cow’s milk products for at least two years. The reason for this is that there are more than 100 antigens found in milk. The body then produces the antibodies but unfortunately, these antibodies not only react to the milk antigens but also with the beta cells of the pancreas, creating inflammation and scarring. This results in the beta cells that produce Insulin in getting blocked or destroyed. Finland, which has the world’s highest milk consumption, also has the world’s highest per capita rate of Insulin – dependent diabetes (reference: La Porte, RE, Tajima, N, Akerblom, HK, et al “Geographic differences in the risk of insulin dependent diabetes mellitus: the importance of registries” Diabetes care, 1985, 8 (supp l) :101-107)
Walter Willet, chairman of the Nutrition Department of the Harvard School of Public Health and co-authored a major study of more than 75,000 American nurses, found that women with the highest calcium consumption from dairy products actually had substantially more fractures than women who drank less milk. Also a 1980 study in the journal: Clinical Orthopedics and Related Research, Mark Hegsted of Harvard University pointed out that people in the United States and the Scandinavian countries consume more dairy products than anyone else in the world, yet have the highest rates of Osteoporosis. (Lewinnek, GE, Kelsey, J, White, A A III, et al. “The significance and a comparative analysis of the epidemiology of hip fractures” Clin Ortho Rel Res, 1980, 152:35-43).
