<p>Yes, that's right. The propaganda of the ubiquitous "Got Milk?" and "3 Glasses a Day" ads has succeeded in getting you, customers of the milk industry, to buy their products thinking you're getting the needed calcium and preventing osteoporosis. But this lovely white drink actually PROMOTES osteoporosis..</p>
<p>Here's an article:</p>
<hr>
<h2>"The path that transforms healthy milk products into allergens and carcinogens begins with modern feeding methods that substitute high-protein, soy-based feeds for fresh green grass and breeding methods to produce cows with abnormally large pituitary glands so that they produce three times more milk than the old fashioned scrub cow. These cows need antibiotics to keep them well.....</h2>
<p>RunningWater, it is you who has been scammed. Milk is healthy, but many animal-rights groups would have you think otherwise (look up milk at the peta web site, for instance).</p>
<p>This guy just wants you to buy his pills:
"If you can swallow pills, we have an excellent, inexpensive source called Calcium Citrate, which has a number of other minerals which your body requires to build up maximally healthy bone."</p>
<p>The site also promotes "Neurostructural Integration Technique" which is what this guy is a doctor of. Though i am now worried about how "when milk is homogenized, small fat globules surround the xanthine oxidase and it is absorbed intact into your blood stream. There is some very compelling research demonstrating clear associations with this absorbed enzyme and increased risks of heart disease."</p>
<p>I love milk. Nothing anybody ever says can get me to stop drinking it. Don't believe any anti-milk propaganda, it's part of the neo-nazis' plan to institute a new racist world order (one without milk and cows).</p>
<p>If you're afraid of the artificial growth hormones in the milk, I've read and been told by many professors and science articles that it does nothing to your body, since it is essentially broken down to its amino acid components. Anyway, hormones usually are conspecific, so I wouldn't worry about it.</p>
<p>Before I begin, I want to let you know that I am condemning the article and its incompetent author, not you.</p>
<p>I got about halfway through that article before I could easily conclude that this piece of "writing" is horribly biased and unsupported. Skimming through the rest only served to confirm my view.</p>
<p>I say "writing" because the style suggests that this came from either a high schooler, or an incompetent college student. One example includes the lack of consistency in the word butterfat. The author switched between "butterfat" and "butter-fat" in the same paragraph. Sentence structure and syntax fall well short of the writing employed by proficient journalists or even that of a second-rate college graduate.</p>
<p>Honestly, whoever wrote this article needs to take a few more writing courses.</p>
<p>The author attempts to give scientific support, but fails to mention the critical role of magnesium in calcium absorption.</p>
<p>I would like to see a real scientific article in support of these arguments. The claims of this ___________ (insert negative word or words here) are insufficient to convince me.</p>
<p>Yes, the article is rather biased, but I have always held a belief that the growth hormones in milk are bad for your health. I honestly do not care what those scientists say, I wouldn't want those things in my body. It just seems very sketchy.</p>
<p>Haven't read the article, but just to be contrarian: I hate milk. I think it tastes awful, and wouldn't drink it even if it were healthy. Soy milk is the way of the future. :)</p>
