If you research the topic of the toxicity of commercial milk, you should be prepared for what you will find. The philosophies of those who disapprove of milk will extend from those who believe humans shouldnt drink milk after infancy (and only human milk at that) to those who are only concerned with milk coming from unhealthy cows. My own children have been raised on fresh, unpasteurized milk from healthy, unmedicated goats. Yet I acknowledge the fact that humans have enjoyed and benefited from fresh cows milk for many, many centuries of human history. My alarm over milk centers on the fact that, if a cow is highly medicated, unhealthy and unhappy, its milk cannot be good. > I have never heard that the calcium is "almost impossible to digest". To the contrary, I remember reading studies in the past about calcium sources where people increased their bone density by drinking milk (but mainly it was usually focused on other things like calcium supplements or drugs) < The homogenization process alters the fabric of milk and decreases its digestibility. The compression of the milk fat into tiny globules introduces something into the body that it is unfamiliar with and not designed to metabolize. People with very good digestion will have better success with it than those who dont. Over the long haul, it will cost the body more than it will benefit it. The milk industry has many studies to support their agenda. The pharmaceutical industry does the same about their drugs. You must decide whom you will trust. For myself, I tend to assume that food and medicine was better before man improved on them, that nature offered us what we needed, that what occurs naturally and spontaneously on our planet is what our bodies need. I greatly mistrust the products that come from a laboratory or from human engineering and coercion. Terry Chamberlin __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?
