Milk for Children - The big marketing scam! - by Ni Zain

Milk, I am going controversial again. No, it is not just because what just happened in China. Milk is on my list for along time. - I guess all of you out there believe giving your child milk is the ultimo in the diet of your child and your child will be not able to develop well if it does not get milk. Well, what, if this is wrong? What if the milk you give your child will cause many problems in the health of your child?

Okay, let us first look where milk is coming from:

From cows, clear. Cows are very big animals, humans medium. Cow children have the matching size of enzymes in their tummies to break down the milk from their moms. They also drink the milk directly from the teats. Humans have other enzymes. Cow milk is for cows, human milk is for humans. Or do you think your cat would survive on mother milk? Perhaps, but not as well, than on the milk from its mom. How do cows live today? No, forget about the adds, where cows live on grassing land and have sun and fresh air all day... Marketing scam! Today milk cows hardly ever get out of their factories. They never move, they never have fun. Milk from unhappy animals for your children? Milk from cows who lack vitamin D and all the protective stuff from the sun? Cows get feed not anymore with fresh grass and flowers from the fields. They getting ready mixed cow junk food. Do we know what is in there? How this stuff is produced? Remember, they gave cows, cows to eat in the UK and this started the wonderful MAD COW DISEASE. Milk cows are produced to give milk, so all milk cow farmers would look how much milk a cow give. Quantity over quality. Do you really believe the milk you got in your fridge has still in it, what it really supposed to have? Additional those cows live on so many drugs to get going. Hormones to give more milk. I heard that in some places milk cows are given human anti baby pills to increase their milk production. No wonder children today getting so early developed. What about the antibiotics given to them? Do you think the farmer waits a few weeks until his cow is cleared out again? What about the chemicals to sterile the cows, teats and containers? Do you think they always work so clean? Yes, please believe, that milk is checked all the time. What about milk trucks and the whole machinery involved to get the milk on your table. Each additional process adds all sorts of stuff to your milk. Lubricants are used to get machinery going, but are you really sure a small amount of lubricants don't end up each time in your milk? Milk of hundreds of cows is mixed together. If one of the cows had a disease, you think, they can tell later? You might think, but well, only a small amount is in the milk. But just think. The milk on your table is coming from 100 cows. This fact alone just applies very odd to me. It has been also proven, that Tuberculoses bacteria seams to survive quite well in milk if it not heated up long enough or not hot enough.

What about the milk itself? How comes that milk today get so fast sour? Easy, the milk still has to have bacteria and fungus. Pasteurization might kill some bacteria, but some always survive. Additional, what happens with the dead bacteria in the milk? It is still in the milk. Like dead material swimming in your milk. If I just think about this it makes me sick. And sorry guys, this is not coming from me. It is been proven already. Additional, if milk is exposed to light and air, the growing of bacteria and fungi is boosted.

So now lets come to us and our children who drink this milk. As for a start. Asians never had milk and dairy products in their diet. And here comes a major point: First of all - Asians have genetically a lower level of calcium. Means they do not need as much calcium as the rest of us. Second, they also never had the ability to develop the enzymes to digest the milk. So for Asians milk should be anyway a big no-no. For all the others of us, most dairy products are not digestible. Milk will go undigested down in our intestines and guess what they are doing there?: The milk ferments. So no surprise so many people nowadays have problems in their digestive system. There is a close link to day if you drink milk and developing Crohn's Disease. In the Science Center in Singapore is a big wall installation, which says: "We are not allergic to milk, after the age of 10 we are not able to digest milk. Those who can, are mutations already..." When I cut off on my milk intake a few years ago, nearly all my digestive problems vanished. I even realized that fungus would not have such an big impact on me anymore. A few weeks ago I order a dish in a restaurant not thinking that it might contain dairy products, as they were not listed on the menu. It was full of cream and cheese. I thought, well, one time will not kill me. Gosh, after I finished the plate I had the feeling I had a bag of rocks in my stomach and for two days my tummy was grumbling and swollen. Never again... As much as I loved my dairy products in the past. But I can much better live without them. Or this new thing is many places over Bali: You order a juice as they say on the menu. And you get a juice with milk in it. I feel free to each time sent it back and ask for REAL juice. Juice with milk is a MILK SHAKE.

Another thing is, that I believe to much calcium is also not good for us. It makes the teeth grow faster in children, but I doubt, that they are also of good quality. I believe those kids will have fast big holes in the teeth, which than results in unwanted fillings. Powered milk is even worse. The whole process is unnatural, the milk out of this has nothing, but really nothing to do with real milk. Even for the smallest baby milk, they have added high amount of sugar. Some of the bottle milk for children is so poor in quality, no wonder children in poor countries have learning and developing problems. Poor families are put in situations to buy expensive milk for their babies and children. The money they spent on this milk could easy feed the whole family with a good quality diet, if the mother would breast feed her baby and later gives her baby high quality food of natural resources. And just look what happened to all those kids in China. If their mother would have breast feed them, as they should, not of these kids would be sick.

Some milk companies are even so nasty, that I refuse to buy ANY of their products anymore. A big company has about 10 years ago told mothers in Afghanistan, that there milk is NOT good for their babies. So they got the mothers on the bottled milk. The company did a major fall out there - They did not teach the mothers how important it is to sterile the bottles. More than 50 000 babies died a horrible dead as they were poisoned from the bottles. I have seen the pictures of the children - it was horrible. If you buy from this company, you support them doing things like this. I don't!

Milk companies paying doctors, midwives and nurses if they can hook a baby on bottled milk. They tell moms how bad their milk is and even take the baby away from the mother for up to 3 days, telling them that the baby is sick. Down the years I heard many horrible stories. Babies who starved to death, because the poor families had no money to buy milk and mixed in rice milk for newborns. The others by this time had no breast milk to help their children anymore.

WE MUST UNDER ALL CIRCUMSTANCES TEACH WOMEN TO BREASTFEED THEIR BABIES AS LONG AS THEY CAN. After breastfeeding for at least 5 months children slowly can start to eat, but shall get breast milk for at least 1 - 2 years. Anybody telling mothers anything different is in my eyes criminal.

Milk from cows can be used in cases of emergency, as if the mother really has not milk, dies or has an illness which would be transmitted via breast milk.

If you give your baby bottled milk in the night, you can watch how fast its tooth will decay from the bacteria and sugar in the bottled milk. Breast milk does never have such an effect on babies teeth. many babies and small toddlers have skin rushes and mucus forming disease, this also is very strongly indicated by the milk products.

Calcium deficiency in middle age women, does not come from a lack of calcium in their food. It comes from all the chemicals in a women's life, which puts the Thyroid out of balance. Radioactivity does its job in this. We must first heal the Thyroid, than we can naturally balance our calcium levels.

So what to do if you don't want to use milk anymore? Easy a rich diet with soy, vegetables and healthy grains. Bananas have high levels of calcium. How did the Asians survive so long? Cut off the milk. Cut off milk cows in factories. Cut off big companies fooling people around the world. Eat full and rich in your family. You will see, all of you will have more energy, better health and grow natural.
