To the Daily News Re: Milk This letter is in response to Terri McCormick's, July
7th article about milk. I'm glad he started to
question milk, as every educated person should. After
all, why are we drinking the secretions of other
animals? Would you drink cat's milk or rat's milk?
It's just as nutritious as cows milk. And, why are
adults drinking any type of milk? All other living
beings stop drinking the milk from their mother before
adolescence.
I do agree with Terri that all the
studies about good milk vs. bad milk can be confusing.
It is essential is to find out who is involved and
who is funding each of the studies. Luckily, there is
a man who does this for us and the information is at
www.notmilk.com under the testimony sections. Yes
Terri, there is a conspiracy!
Also, calcium IS found
in kale, collards, broccoli, almonds, soy milk,
fortified orange juices plus more. Excessive protein
leaches calcium from the body - milk is extremely high
in protein. Hmm?. And, the Canada's food guide is not
only outdated but heavily funded by the meat and dairy
industry. I believe what the studies, doctors
(Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine), and
the people who have no monetary gain from denouncing
milk have to say. Why would I believe the dairy
industry when they are just trying to make a profit?
