The real FACTS on milk at last!

By Bluestream on October 5, 2003

At last someone has written an entire book dedicated to this subject! I started finding out about the disadvantages of drinking pastuerized milk in 1999 from a book called "The Tao of Health, Sex and Longevity" by Daniel Reid (available from Amazon).Reid concluded that milk actually curdles in the stomach and makes other food indigestible, and also pasturization destroys all enzymes and nutrients in it. Since that book, I stopped drinking milk and my complexion got better,and the acne disappeared. Also i used to have stomach problem (keeps having diarrhoea after drinking milk), and that disappeared as well.

And now more and more doctors are coming out with the same infomation on milk. Dr RObert Young, a microbilogist (author of "The pH Miracle") says from his study, says the biggest misconception of society is that milk, being a calcium product, will give us calcium. It has been concluded now that this is not the case. <b>Milk, is actually bleaching calcium from our bones, not putting calcium into it.</b> Dr Young says milk contains lactose, which is a sugar in the body, and when sugar is released into the bloodstream, calcium is used by the body from our calcium reserves in our body (eg the bones), to neutralize the acids of the sugar. Moreover, <i>Dr Young does real live blood analysis, and he says if you look at your red blood cells after drinnking milk, you wont be happy,</i> as it makes the red blood cells stick together and fill them with bacteria and toxins. And studies done in the 1980s already showed that people who drink milk each day, have the weakest bones of all, while people who drink less or avoid it altogether invariably have stronger bones.Read more ›

Must read for expectant mothers!

By Dr. Data, not Dogma on September 5, 2005

Verified Purchase

I already owned this book (I'm a gynecologist), but I bought this copy to give to my daughter's pediatrician. At our annual visit, she asked my daughter "Have you been drinking your milk?" just like the American Dairy Council wants her to do and I felt a need to educate her. Much of what doctors are taught about the "value" of milk products is supported by Dairy Council funding in one way or another and is certainly not based on science. Our country's "recommended requirement" for calcium is more than twice that of the rest of the world. (Most doctors don't know this.) (Check out the WHO website). Why is that? In order to help sell more milk perhaps? Think about it and definitely read this book. It's full of very interesting data.

Good information

By Piedmont Lady on February 22, 2002

Verified Purchase

Humans beyond the age of weaning don't need to drink milk. My doctor has been telling me that for years. If you want to know all the reasons why we don't need it, buy this book. I was expecting some sort of fanatical rantings, but the information is well balanced and researched.

A real eye opener and sure to be unpopular among the masses

By Brett Winstead on April 20, 2000

Oski's book has not been popular mainly because people are simply turned off by the title. Why should we not drink something that has been ingrained into our heads since childhood that milk is the best thing we can put into our bodies? You will be surprised at the looks you will get from people who happen to hear you repeat what you will learn from this awesome book. Learn the truth about milk's non-absorbable calcium and osteoporosis. One need not be a doctor to understand this book either. Some people undoubtedly will read this book and continue to consume milk because they don't like change and it is like taking away part of their heritage and no amount of truth will convince them. This book is a must read!

The truth is out!

By Gina on April 24, 2000

I found this book to be extremely informative. The information will definitely make you think twice before you consume any dairy products. The only negative to the book is that a list of alternative substitutes to dairy wasn't really listed except for soy which has it's own drawbacks. It's important to get Vit.D and calcium in your diet but no list was provided thus I was left hanging. Otherwise, the book was very informative and easy to understand.

It Does A Body BAD

By Book & Music Lover on March 13, 2007

Drink milk, it is high in protein, and calcium, good for your bones. Doctors in England have found a link between Nations that are highly dependent on dairy, and the high rates of breast, and ovarian cancer. Other studies have shown elimentating dairy improves the symptom of arthritis, as well. One thing the author here explains is what calcium is good for, to neutralize acids, and sugars, we consume daily. He may also have mentioned it, and may have missed it but calcium is also used to neutralize protien, specifically animal protien. As for milk, the lower the fat content, the higher the protien content. I mention this because animal protien is the biggest cause of calcium leeching. Not to mention caffine. Calcium leeching leads to osteoporosis.

So we march marrily along to the doctor's office to get some supplimental calcium. But we continue to consume dairy products, and animal protien further weakening our bones. Akin to trying to fill a bucket with a hole in the bottom. As yet another reviewer has mentioned we do not need milk once we are weaned, and even before that we certainly do not need the milk from an animal.

This book is loaded with good information for the health conscious, and the uninformed. Educate yourself, your family and friends about how milk does a body bad.

Oh and did I mention the growth hormones, the steroids, and the anti-bacterial agents found in dairy products, and how some years back girls as young as 8, and 9 years of age were begining to develope breasts, and grow pubic hair. All of this traced to the consumption of dairy products loaded with growth hormones.

Do your body good read this very well written,and informative book, and question the habit we have of consuming dairy products.
