The American Dairy Association has a new marketing campaign that may
oneday replace their successful milk mustache campaign. The Dairy
Education Board welcomes the opportunity to reveal the secret powers of
concentrated milk.
HOW MUCH CHEESE DO AMERICAN'S EAT?
In 1970, the dairy industry produced 2.2 billion pounds of cheese. The
population of the United States was 203 million, which translates to
10.8 pounds of cheese per person. By 1990, America's population had
grown to 248 million, but Americans were eating more cheese, 6 billion
pounds worth!
That's an average of 24 pounds per person. In 1994, according to the
USDA, the average American consumed 27.7 pounds of
cheese. America's rate of cheese consumption is skyrocketing. As we
approach the new millennium, America's per-capita cheese consumption
will break the 30-pound per person level.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) allows 750 million pus cells in
every liter of milk (about two pounds). In Europe, regulators allow 400
million pus cells per liter. France and Italy are known for their
magnificent cheeses.
Perhaps that's the secret
Since it takes 10 pounds of milk to make one pound of cheese, a pound
of
cheese can contain up to 7.5 billion pus cells. If your American cheese
is sliced so that there are 16 slices to a pound, that single slice of
American or Swiss can contain over 468 million pus cells.
Eighty percent of milk protein consists of casein, a tenacious glue.
Casein is the glue that is used to hold a label to a bottle of beer.
Try to scrape off one of those labels, then consider the effects of
casein in your body. Casein is the glue that holds together wood in
furniture. Behold the power of glue and behold the power of horrible
bowel movements.
Casein is a foreign protein and your body reacts to its presence by
creating an antibody.
That antibody-antigen reaction creates
histamines.
Anti-histamines (like Benadryl) are used to counter the
effects of histamines.
Mucus and phlegm are produced as a result of
cheese consumption.
Mucus congests internal body organs.
Mucus creates phlegm.
The average
American lives his or her life with a gallon of mucus clogging the
kidney, spleen, pancreas, tracheal-bronchial tree, lungs, thymus, etc.
Imagine not eating cheese or any other dairy product for just six days.
An internal fog will lift from your body as the mucus leaves. Eat just
one slice of pizza on day seven, and twelve to fifteen hours later, the
mucus will return.
Got Gorgonzola?
Got glue!
In the name of science, the dairy industry sponsors studies in which
people drink milk. These laboratory subjects then answer surveys about
what the insides of their mouths feel like. Biased dairy scientists
then conclude that milk and dairy products cause no mucus.
BEHOLD THE POWER OF AUTOPSY
Florence Griffith Joyner had undigested cheese in her stomach fifteen
hours after eating pizza. Her internal organs were acutely congested
with mucus and her neck revealed finger marks from where she tried to
choke herself, gasping for breath. Behold the power of a killer.
Got Mozzarella? Got mucus!
BEHOLD THE POWER OF HORMONES
Every sip of milk has 59 different powerful hormones. Which ones do you
want your little girls to take?
Estrogen, progesterone or prolactin?
In her lifetime, as a little girl becomes a big girl, then a mature
woman, she will produce the total equivalent of one tablespoon of
estrogen. Hormones work on a nanomolecular lever, which means that it
takes a billionth of a gram to produce a powerful biological effect.
The average American now consumes nearly thirty pounds of cheese each
year. That product contains concentrated hormones.
One pound of cheese can contain ten times the amount of hormones as one
pound of milk. Nursing cows were never supposed to pass on cheese to
their calves.
They were, however, designed to pass on hormones, lactoferrins, and
immunoglobulins in liquid milk to their infants.
Got Romano?
Got raging hormones!
See (http://www.notmilk.com/deb/072698.html) on hormones.
BEHOLD THE POWER OF ANTIBIOTICS
Got American cheese?
Got antibiotics.
Consumers Union and the Wall Street Journal tested milk samples in the
New York metropolitan area and found the presence of 52 different
antibiotics. Eat ice cream, yogurt,
and cheese toppings, and you're also consuming antibiotics. Cows are
fed chicken feces as supplemental protein. The droppings are baked and
sanitized but the heat process does not destroy the hormones in chicken
feed.
Got Parmesan?
Got penicillin!
In February of 1999, the Land of Lakes Company recalled nearly four
hundred thousand cases of cheese products from supermarkets in every
one
of America's 50 states.
Cheese makes a remarkable culture medium for bacteria, which stay alive
for up to six months. This year's recall was due to listeria. Eat
listeria and it can take up to 45 days for you to get sick.
Would you make the connection?
Cheeses can also contain mycobacterium paratuberculosis which causes
diarrhea and irritable bowel syndrome.
Forty million Americans are so affected.
Got Colby? Got colds!
Got Danish cheese? Got diarrhea!
BEHOLD! The power of cheese!

13) Should milk consumers worry about harmful bacterial infections
resulting from milk and dairy consumption? Which statement(s) is/are
true?
a) According to the Journal of Dairy Science, butter readily supports
growth of salmonella at room temperature, but refrigeration or freezing
for brief periods does not eliminate it. Salmonella can remain viable

day.
d) They are fed blood meal, bone meal, and flesh from their relatives.
16) Nutritionists and food scientists agree: Humans need to eat
protein.
Eighty percent of milk protein is a substance called 'CASEIN.' When
casein is isolated from milk, it can be used:
a) In the manufacturing process for plastic.
b) As a glue to hold together wood in furniture.
c) As an adhesive to attach a label to a beer bottle.
d) All of the above.
17) Please read the following statements carefully. Which ONE is NOT
true?
a) Countries with the highest rates of osteoporosis, such as the United
States, England, and Sweden, consume the most milk. China and Japan,
where people eat much less protein and dairy food, have low rates of
osteoporosis.
b) Osteoporosis is caused by a number of things, one of the most
important being too much dietary protein. Dietary protein increases
production of acid in the blood which isneutralized by calcium
mobilized
from the skeleton. Increasing one's protein intake by 100% may cause
calcium loss to double.
c) Data from the 12-year Harvard study of 78,000 women indicate that
women consuming greater amounts of calcium from dairy foods had
significantly increased risks of hip fractures, while no increase in
fracture risk was observed for the same levels of calcium from nondairy
sources.
d) American women have been consuming an average of two pounds of milk
per day for their entire lives, yet thirty million American women have
osteoporosis. Therefore, drinking milk prevents bone loss.
1 Dioxins are highly toxic by-products of industrial processes
including
chemical and municipal waste incineration. These compounds penetrate
the
environment via air, water and soil and are then incorporated in food
chains. The level of dioxin in a single serving of the Ben & Jerry's
World's Best Vanilla Ice Cream tested was almost 200 times greater
than
the safe daily dose determined by the Environmental Protection Agency.
What did Ben Cohen of Ben & Jerry's fame have to say regarding
dioxins?
a) "Our containers are environmentally friendly, and dioxin- free, so
just dump the ice cream, and eat the container."
b) "I just had quadruple bypass heart surgery. Please put your question
in writing, and I'll have my staff get back to you."
c) "We never realized you'd be supremely nuts to continue eating our
Natural Nutty-Nuts Supreme Surprise."
d) Before the test) :"The only safe level of dioxin exposure is no
exposure at all." (After the test) :"It's in the environment."
19) Do pesticides end up in milk, cheese, and butter? Which one of the
following statements is NOT accurate?
a) A 1988 FDA survey of milk samples from grocery stores in 10 cities
found that 73% of the samples contained pesticide residues.
b) More than 2,200 samples of cow's milk were tested in India, and 85%
of the samples contained pesticides levels above human tolerance
limits.
c) The pesticides chlordane and heptachlor cause cancer, harm the
immune
system and are endocrine disruptors. Dairy cattle in Oahu were fed
pineapple leaves containing heptachlor residues. As a result, the local
milk and dairy supply remained contaminated for years.
d) According to the National Fluid Milk Processors, no pesticide
residues have ever been found in milk and dairy products.
20) Milk contains somatic cells, which are dead red and white blood
cells. Another name for somatic cells is "pus cells." America's Food
and
Drug Administration sets the legal standard for the allowable number of
pus cells that can be sold in milk. One liter of American milk may
contain no more than:
a) 75 hundred pus cells
b) 75 thousand pus cells
c) 75 million pus cells
d) 750 million pus cells
21) Which of the following statements did not appear in the British
medical journal Lancet?
a) Hypersensitivity to milk is implicated as a cause of sudden death in
infancy.
b) Those infants who died of SIDS expressed inappropriate or
inflammatory responses suggesting violent allergic reactions to a
foreign protein. Lung tissue and cells showed responses similar to
bronchial wall inflammation in asthma.
c) Those who consumed cows milk were fourteen times more likely to die
from diarrhea-related complications and four times more likely to die
of
pneumonia than were breast-fed babies. Intolerance and allergy to cow's
milk products is a factor in sudden infant death syndrome.
d) Children under the age of two years who consume more that one-pint
of
fortified brandy before going to bed are prone to sudden infant death.
22) On March 23, 1971, Secretary of the Treasury, John Connally said to
President Richard Nixon (recorded on a Watergate tape) : "These
dairymen
are organized, they're adamant, they're militant, and they're massing
an
enormous amount of money that they're going to put into political
activities." What motivated Connally to make this statement?
a) Dairy reps had placed the severed head of a dairy cow in Nixon's
bed,
making him an offer he couldn't refuse.
b) Richard Nixon had just been presented with a compromising
surveillance photo of JFK, RFK, and Marilyn Monroe sporting what
appeared to be the dairy industry's first milk mustache ad.
c) President Nixon had just been given a $10 gift certificate to Dairy
Queen from dairy industry representatives in the Oval Office.
d) President Nixon had just been given a $3 million cash gift from
dairy
industry representatives in the Oval Office.
23) Children are taught in first grade that Vitamin D is the "sunshine
vitamin." Vitamin D is a steroid hormone and is synthesized in one's
body after skin is exposed to sunlight. Which statement about vitamin D
is NOT true?
a) Adults need 10-15 minutes of sunlight, two or three times a week to
ensure proper Vitamin D levels.
b) Vitamin D is toxic in overdose. Consuming as little as 45 micrograms
of Vitamin D-3 in young children has resulted in signs of overdose.
Testing of 10 samples of infant formula revealed seven with more that
twice the Vitamin D content reported on the label, one of which had
more
than four times the label amount.
c) Vitamin D increases aluminum absorption, and high aluminum levels in
the body may cause an Alzheimer's-like disease.
d) If boys and girls do not drink milk with Vitamin D added, when they
turn 40, their bones will become brittle, and break, and they'll need
hip replacement surgery.
24) What has NOT been identified as a cause of acne?
a) Acne occurs when steroids (androgens) stimulate the sebaceous glands
within the skin's hair follicles. These glands then secrete an oily
substance called sebum. When sebum, bacteria and dead skin cells build
up on skin, the pores become blocked, creating acne.
b) About 80 percent of cows that are giving milk are pregnant and are
throwing off hormones continuously. Progesterone breaks down into
androgens, which have been implicated as factor in the development of
acne. Hormones found in cow's milk include: Estradiol, Estriol,
Progesterone, prolactin, and oxytocin.
c) The Journal of Endocrinology studied the effects of growth hormone
(GH) and insulin-like growth factors (IGF-1) , alone and with androgen,
on sebaceous epithelial cell growth. IGF- I was the most potent
stimulus
of DNA synthesis, contributing to the increase in sebum production
during puberty.
d) Acne is caused by frogs, sugar, snails, spice, puppy dog tails, and
everything nice.
25) What is NOT true about the vegetarian NOTMILK lifestyle?
a) According to the Journal of the American Dietetic Association, there
is a positive correlation between a vegetarian diet and reduced risk
for
obesity, coronary artery disease, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and
cancer.
b) According to the British Medical Journal, vegetarians often have
lower mortality rates from several chronic degenerative diseases than
do
non-vegetarians. Significant athersclerosis is rare in peoples whose
diet over the life span is predominantly vegetarian and low in
calories,
saturated fat, and cholesterol.
c) According to the Journal of the American Medical Association,
vegetarian diets low in fat or saturated fat have been used
successfully
as part of comprehensive health programs to reverse severe coronary
artery disease.
d) Vegans live an average of two decades less than meat- eaters and
milk
drinkers which is just fine with carnivores, who are saved from having
to listen to twenty or more years of irritating lecturing, preaching,
and bragging.
SCORE YOUR TEST RESULTS
Let's make this process really simple, shall we? D is the correct
answer
for all 25 multiple-choice questions. D as in "duh." Unfortunately,
there might be some of you who have been drinking cow's milk since
childhood, so you still don't get it, and may never get it. Award
yourself four points for each correct response.
If you scored 88 or better, you are either a vegan (eat no animal flesh
and drink no body fluids) or a professional cheesehead. You know milk
issues like few people do. You are to be congratulated for your wisdom!
If you scored between 72 and 84, you haven't been paying attention to
the real science contained in Milk A-Z. Go back and study!
If you scored between 52 and 68, you've passed...barely, but only
because
we're grading on a curve. Go sit by yourself in a quiet little corner
and repeat over and over again the following mantra: "Pus with
hormones
and glue...pus with hormones and glue...pus with hormones and glue."
Use
this visualization the next time you are tempted to slurp ice cream,
munch cheddar, or drown yourself in a tub of melted butter.
If you scored below the 50th percentile, instruct your attorney to
re-write your last will and testament and leave your estate to your
doctors. They'll ultimately end up with most of your money, anyway.
Heart disease claims the lives of nearly two out of three Americans,
and
cancers account for one out of every three deaths. The average American
spends ten years dying from coronary-related events or carcinomas. What
you don't know about milk may kill you. The healthy alternative?
Discover the fountain of youth: NOTMILK!
If you scored under 25, you've got very little hope remaining. You are
an udderly absurd excuse for a human, and have earned the right to
continue to consume body fluids from diseased animals. If you are still
ambulatory, treat yourself to Domino's Pizza for dinner and slurp Ben
and Jerry's ice cream for dessert. Set your alarm clock for a 12-hour
wake up call. This might be your last chance, so pay attention to your
body's signals. If your internal sludge and congestion do not convince
you, nothing ever will.
