9. Whole Milk/ Milk Products

Although milk, and many milk products, has calcium, vitamin B, and protein, they also have high levels of fat, hormones, and antibiotics.  It’s been suggested that perhaps as many as 6 out of every 10 Americans have some type of milk intolerance, which makes you wonder if, biologically anyway, we really have a need for milk at all. The dairy industry will try to tell you that milk is “Mother Nature’s Perfect Food,” and for cows, it is!

For humans, though, perhaps not so much. At least not the commercially processed homogenized, pasteurized milk and milk products we buy at the supermarket. Milk cows have a constant source of a growth hormone given to them through a time released tablet which is put under the skin of the cow, near the ear. After slaughter, the ears are cut off, but these hormones have been absorbed through into the cow’s body, including the milk, right up until that ear is cut off. Also, because factor farmed cows are kept in such tight, dirty conditions, they are regularly fed antibiotics to avoid infection. Antibiotics, friends, that pass into the milk of dairy cows. Yuck.

Raw and organic milk is a much better choice. Raw milk helps the body absorb more healthy vitamins like D, A, and B. Raw milk has also been shown to help protect individuals from asthma and allergies.

   There is bacon out now with no artificial ingredients or nitrates. I’m starting to wonder about the research that goes into some of these articles.
