It's also worth mentioning that I don't support the consumption of processed dairy products at all (raw milk is a different story), and it is my opinion that homogenized, pasteurized dairy products directly promote heart disease, obesity, diabetes, autoimmune disorders and many other health problems in humans. I personally consume no processed dairy products (organic or otherwise), and I encourage consumers to switch to raw almond milk as a healthy alternative to milk products acquired from cows. |

With this new false labeling rule, the almond industry joins the dairy industry in the "kill your food" philosophical camp. dairy products are pasteurized for the same reason (to kill microorganisms and extend shelf life), yet raw dairy products have been found to exhibit tremendous health and nutritional advantages over cooked, processed dairy products.
By cooking its almonds, the Almond Board of California will be unwittingly killing its product and delivering an inferior almond to consumers. Raw foods enthusiasts wishing to make their own raw almond milk will now be without easy options. |

Avoid dairy products when fighting the flu
In my opinion, cow’s milk and dairy products are also immunosuppressive. That's because they promote stagnation, including chronic sinus infections and constipation. They create mucus in the body, which is why so many people who suffer from asthma are actually suffering from an allergic reaction to dairy products. Nearly 70 percent of the population of the world is lactose intolerant.
Drinking dairy products when you're trying to fight off the flu is sort of like dumping half a gallon of epoxy into the oil of your car. It will gum up the works. |

On April 4, 2000, the Harvard School of Public Health issued a press release titled "Higher Intake of dairy products May be Linked to Prostate Cancer Risk." And in October 2001, a paper called "Dairy Products, Calcium, and Prostate Cancer Risk in the Physicians' Health Study" appeared in the American Journal of Clinical
Nutrition. Its conclusion: "These results support the hypothesis that dairy products and calcium are associated with a greater risk of prostate cancer. |

Mike Adams: Would you be willing to provide an overview for people who aren't familiar with the real story of dairy products and cow's milk? What are the main things people need to know about milk that they don't already know?
Robert Cohen: The real story is that dairy products are the tastiest foods on this planet. There is nothing more delicious than cheese -- a day without cheese is a day without sunshine. Milk is yummy, especially if you take 12 pounds of it and get rid of all the water, mix it with sugar, freeze it and put a cherry on top. |

Milk and dairy products are the worst form of these polluting substances. Not only with the tremendous dioxin level, but with the tremendous amount of sulfur. You don't want that rotten egg smell -- that's what accelerates heart disease, and that's what accelerates bone loss. So that's why we find the people living in nations where they eat the most dairy products are the ones with the highest rates of osteoporosis and heart disease. That's the reason. |

Vegetarian foods: Avoiding the consumption of meat and dairy products is also an important way to keep your system clear and lend power to your intention. Meat and dairy products stagnate the flow of energy throughout your mind and body, blocking the intention. To get the best results, go completely dairy free (except for raw, unprocessed milk, which qualifies as a raw food) and meat free.
Personal integrity: Acting with integrity multiplies the power of your intention. |

These dairy products are categorically causing disease for you and your children. This is why you must, absolutely always consume 100 percent organic dairy products—ideally, dairy products that are also unpasteurized and unhomogenized.
Consider also how irradiated food is killing us. This process alters the flavor, decreases nutrients, and raises the cost. It eliminates most germs, but some salmonella, hepatitis, and mad cow disease still remain. In animals it causes hemorrhage from muscle tears, heart damage, testes tumors, and changes in genes and reproductive cells. |

Obviously the worst fats and protein come from our red meats and dairy products. If you are going to eat red meat, at least eat the leanest cut you can. You should avoid dairy products except for low-fat cottage cheese, milk, and egg whites. If you are going to eat eggs, try to get range-fed chicken eggs, which contain omega-3 fatty acids.
Some of the worst fats that you can eat are the trans-fatty acids. These are called rancid fats because they are so harmful to our bodies. Get used to looking at labels and any time you see "partially hydrogenated" anything— don't buy it. |

Drinking dairy products when you're trying to fight off the flu is sort of like dumping half a gallon of epoxy into the oil of your car. It will gum up the works. It will make it far more difficult for your body to perform the complex physiological activities on which your health depends. Cow’s milk and dairy products should be strictly avoided by those who don't want to get the flu or who are suffering from flu-like symptoms.

Even some of the researchers associated with the Nurses' Health Study have begun doing dietary pattern analysis, in one case comparing a prudent diet modeled on Mediterranean and Asian patterns—high in fruits, vegetables, and fish and low in red meat and dairy products—with a typical Western diet featuring lots of meat (and processed meat), refined grains, sugary foods, french fries, and dairy products. (The study found "strong evidence" that the prudent dietary pattern may reduce the risk of coronary heart disease. |

Mike Adams: What is it that drove you to have this kind of interest and energy to pursue the truth about milk and dairy products?
Robert Cohen: Three little girls named Jennifer, Sarah, and Lizzie -- my daughters. I wanted them to have healthy bodies. I wanted them not to live four years of high school life with zits all over their body like their dad did. And you know something? They've been zit free! No acne, and if you look at my book, Milk A to Z, I take every letter of the alphabet and fill in something about milk. |
| That's what milk is, and that's what these dairy products are -- concentrated milk products. If you've got one unit of something bad, you don't want to have ten units of it concentrated.
Mike Adams: Indeed. There have been companies, of course, independent dairy producers, who have been producing milk, and putting right on the label that this is produced without bovine growth hormones.
Robert Cohen: But there's really no difference to me between the bovine growth hormone, which has been genetically engineered, and the naturally occurring growth hormone. It's all the same. |

Watch Dairy
Avoid commercial dairy products, including milk, sour cream, buttermilk, cheeses, margarine, and other milk products. If you must include dairy in your diet, choose organic products that contain no hormones or antibiotics. Much depends on whether you are lactose intolerant, your blood type (i.e., people with blood types B and AB usually digest dairy better), and if the dairy is cultured, as in yogurt, or if the product is raw or pasteurized, since pasteurization makes dairy products more difficult to digest. This applies to milk and cheese. |

Try seven days -- don't eat any dairy products -- no milk or cheese -- 7 days. And on day 8, go treat yourself to pizza, and have ice cream for dessert, see what happens on day 9.
Mike Adams: If you dare, right?
Robert Cohen: Well, during the first 7 days, the mucus, the phlegm -- you're going to lose three to four quarts of mucus that are clogging your kidney, spleen, pancreas -- all your internal organs. You don't even know it's there! Because it's what the average American eats every day. When you cleanse yourself, it's like a fog lifts out of your body. |

HYPERTENSION: The whey portion of dairy products may be the beneficial part in controlling blood pressure. Studies show that low-fat dairy products are an essential part of a widely accepted optimal diet for lowering blood pressure called the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension, or "DASH" diet for short.
OBESITY: Whey protein stimulates the body to produce cholecys-tokinin (CCK), the hormone that is released after eating to give a sense of satiation and that may aid in weight loss. Recent studies have linked low-fat dairy consumption with better weight management. |

Buying Horizon and Aurora dairy products is certainly better than purchasing dairy products from conventionally raised animals given regular subtherapeutic doses of antibiotics and sulfa drugs that government reports show appear in their finished milk products, and I have no problem as a consumer in supporting either of these companies.50 But you, the consumer, ought to have inside information. |

For example, people who suffer from severe acne are usually heavy consumers of milk and dairy products.
The link between skin disorders and intestinal health problems
Processed dairy products are what I call stagnating foods (raw dairy is a different story, however). They do not digest easily in the human body. They have no fiber whatsoever, and they contain a protein that is very difficult for humans to digest. When milk enters the digestive tract, it can actually stay lodged there for an extended duration and putrefy because there is no fiber to move it out. |

That study found a 50% increase in prostate cancer risk and a near doubling of risk of metastatic prostate cancer among men consuming high amounts of dairy products, likely due, say the researchers, to the high total amount of calcium in such a diet. The most recent Harvard study on the topic, published in October 2001, looked at dairy product intake among 20,885 men and found men consuming the most dairy products had about 32% higher risk of developing prostate cancer than those consuming the least. |

Both burping and farting may be signs of having eaten foods high in fiber (such as beans, some fruits and vegetables, and whole grains), dairy products, artificial sweeteners, and/or carbohydrates, especially sugar and starch.
Excessive burping (and farting) can also signal a lactase deficiency
(aka lactose intolerance). Lactase is an enzyme necessary to break down lactose in the digestive tract. If this enzyme is missing, many foods, including milk and other dairy products, of which lactose is a major component can't be digested properly and the end result is gas. |

So that's why we find the people living in nations where they eat the most dairy products are the ones with the highest rates of osteoporosis and heart disease. That's the reason.
Mike Adams: It's interesting too that when people go off of milk for a period of several months, they will find their taste changes, and then if they were to take a sip of milk again, they would find it rather disgusting. I've heard this from many people, I've experienced it myself.
Robert Cohen: Right. That's true.
Mike Adams: What happened with you in that regard? Did you ever go back and try a sip of milk? |
