Gabriel Cousens, M.D. See book keywords and concepts | It is an ecological shame to realize that meat-eaters, according to Diet for A New America, use three and one-half acres per year to supply their meat and dairy consumption lifestyle, whereas vegans require one-quarter of an acre of land. In other words, approximately 14 vegans can live off the same land and water supply that it takes for one meat-eater. A nondairy and nonmeat diet saves one acre of trees per year because of how few resources the diet demands. On our planet, with ever-increasing shortages of land and water, this is a tremendously significant amount of resources wasted. | Leo Galland See book keywords and concepts | Consumption of dairy fat has declined considerably over the past hundred years; dairy consumption cannot be held accountable for any of the chronic diseases that have flourished during the twentieth century, except among those individuals who are hypersensitive to components of milk protein. Decisions about consumption of meat and dairy must be highly individualized. Cuts of beef or poultry with the lowest fat content will usually contain the lowest levels of environmental pollutants. | Gary Null, Ph.D. See book keywords and concepts | I have reduced my dairy consumption by more than 80 percent and have become a vegetarian—with the occasional exception of fish and chicken.
I feel 100 percent better, and mornings are no longer a problem for me. I have also started a training program and was accepted to run the New York Marathon.

Since I started this program, my health has improved and my emotional wellness is getting along. I have smoother skin and more energy. I gained ten pounds—before I was underweight. I can lift weights more intensely and my recovery is faster. | Larry Trivieri, Jr. See book keywords and concepts | There is now some good research to indicate that dairy consumption by the mother can induce an allergic condition in the baby," Dr. Birdsall says. Using alternative calcium foods, such as dark green leafy vegetables, and avoiding calcium-robbing foods, such as coffee, sugar, and salt, will ensure adequate nourishment for a pregnant woman. With regard to salt, pregnancy is not a time to restrict salt intake, but it should be used in moderation as large amounts will decrease available calcium. Calcium supplementation can also help ease leg cramps during pregnancy. | John Robbins See book keywords and concepts | But the many studies linking intake of animal protein to bone loss, and showing a worse calcium balance with increased dairy consumption, certainly show how unfounded are ads that promote dairy products as the only path to strong bones. | | But just as the data indicate a strong connection between consumption of animal fat, high blood pressure, and stroke, so too does the evidence suggest stunning correlations between dairy consumption and prostate cancer. | Paul Pitchford See book keywords and concepts | In China and areas of Southeast Asia, where dairy consumption is minimal, arthritis and bone deterioration are not the major health problems that they are in the wealthy countries of the West. Evidence points to certain cofactors of calcium metabolism as the problem: calcium absorption requires adequate dietary magnesium, phosphorus, and vitamins A, C, and D. In fact, without certain of these nutrients, it appears that calcium cannot be absorbed at all.
The Magnesium Connection
It is common knowledge that vitamin D is essential for efficient calcium utilization. |
Textbook of Natural Medicine 2nd Edition Volume 2Michael T. Murray, ND See book keywords and concepts | | The rise in dairy consumption since the 1940s inversely parallels the drop in sperm counts. Avoidance of hormone-fed animal products and milk products are important for male sexual vitality, especially in men with low sperm counts or low testosterone levels.
There are reports that estrogens have been detected in drinking water.6,7 Presumably the estrogens are recycled from excreted synthetic estrogens (birth control pills) at water treatment plants. These estrogens may be harmful to male sexual vitality as they are more potent since they do not bind to sex-hormone-binding-globulin (SHBG). | | Reducing protein intake is best done by reducing meat and dairy consumption.
In the United States, approximately 72% of protein in the diet is from animal products - specifically, 49% from meat, fish, and poultry; 18% from dairy; and 4% from eggs. In contrast, plant foods account for only 28% of the protein intake. Fruits and vegetables provide about 8%, legumes about 3%, and grain products 18%.1
It is often difficult to separate the effects of animal protein from the effects of animal fats, because they are so highly correlated. |
The Complete Book of Alternative NutritionSelene Y. Craig, Jennifer Haigh, Sari Harrar and the Editors of PREVENTION Magazine Health Books See book keywords and concepts | | This theory hasn't been well-investigated yet, but it could partly explain why dairy consumption is directly related to higher rates of osteoporosis," says Dr. Campbell.
Veggies for Joint Pain and Easier Breathing
Some studies show that a vegan diet may also be beneficial for people with rheumatoid arthritis, the kind that can begin to affect joints and cause pain at a young age. Norwegian researchers put 27 people with rheumatoid arthritis on a medically supervised fast, then instructed them to eat a vegetarian diet for a year. | Rebecca Wood See book keywords and concepts | Since then, our dairy consumption has increased at about the rate that cheese and ice cream choices have proliferated.
Tangentially, fiery foods have swept north from the Mexican border and east across the Pacific. And therein, I see a correlation. Here's why. Dairy foods in general are mucus forming and colon congesting. And cheese—especially hard and/or cooked cheese—is more efficient than any other food in colon obstruction. Period.
The spicy flavor, most remarkable in chiles, tonifies the large intestines. Recall how colon stimulating your early chile experiences were. | David Heber, M.D., Ph.D. See book keywords and concepts | This combination did not increase dairy consumption, as hoped by the pyramid builders who justified this division with the idea that calcium could be obtained only by eating dairy products.
Amazingly, the tip of the USDA pyramid has no foods whatsoever, just dots of oil and sugar. If you look carefully, you can see these scattered through all the levels of the pyramid with the not-so-subtle message that wherever you go in the American food supply, oil and sugar will follow you for the rest of your days. | Paul Pitchford See book keywords and concepts | Therefore dairy consumption specifically benefits thin and weak people with a tendency toward dryness. However, these same teachings indicate that milk can be hard to digest by those who have mucous problems or weak digestion (see Earth Element chapter). Milk that is pasteurized, homogenized, and filled with chemicals is much more difficult to digest properly, even by those with strong digestion. |
