Dear stiammians,

First of all, thanks to @mojojojo who inspired me to write this blog ;)
I will tell you about a subject that is really dear to my heart! I'm tired hearing people talking positively about the benefits of cow's milk, when it's a POISON !!!

Why does the medias advertise soo much milk benefits for health ??? Simply because dairy products are an enormous economic issue in industrialized countries. They can't afford to loose their incomes.

But, is it really good for our health ???

The answer is simply NO and I will give you 5 reasons that prove it. I based my research on several serious sources* and with my personal diet experience. I learned a few weeks ago that I am lactose intolerant. And since I stopped consuming dairy products, I have seen the changes.

1 / Cow's milk is allergenic

Allergy is a reaction of the immune system (the defense system of the body) when it encounters a food allergen (a protein). In cow's milk, there are three times more protein than in breast milk. This can cause allergies and pathologies such as : asthma, eczema, acute fatigue, migraines, bronchitis, rhinopharyngitis, etc.

Lactose is a sugar naturally present in milk. To digest it, one must have an enzyme called lactase, which mammals have at birth. This production of lactase ceases almost completely after weaning.
Intolerance is trigger by the enzyme, which causes an accumulation and fermentation of lactose in the intestine. This phenomenon produces: bloating, flatulence, diarrhea, etc.

2 / Cow's milk is indigestible

Lactose and saturated fat in milk don't allow the human stomach to digest it. The casein in the milk sticks to the intestinal walls, causing the body to produce a lot of antibodies and thereby generating inflammations.

3 / Cow's milk is responsible for many diseases

According to the origin of the milk and the feeding of the cows, we find in the milk: pesticides, heavy metals, but also hormones ...
A nice cocktail not very recommendable!
The milk also contains trans fatty acids (hydrogenation of unsaturated fatty acids). They would be harmful and especially associated with an increased risk of breast cancer, coronary disease, and pro-inflammatory effects.

It contains antibiotics that will destroy your intestinal flora and weaken your immune system. If the immune system is weakened, it can not protect the body from disease ...

4 / Cow's milk is not good for bones

Excessive intake of more than three dairy products per day, weakened bone structure. It becomes more friable and therefore more prone to fractures.

The calcium contained in the milk is a myth. More is found in other healthy foods such as : sardines, spinach, almonds, walnuts, oranges, seafood, white beans, chickpeas, spirulina or wholemeal bread.

5 / Cow's milk generates cholesterol and acne

A high intake of milk or dairy products increases the amount of plasma homo-cysteine in the blood which promotes the presence and increase of bad cholesterol. Bad cholesterol is responsible for most cardiovascular diseases.

Dihydrotestosterone is the hormone of acne. It gives a direct order to our skin to produce sebum.

Let's stop seeing the milk as a "super-food" as it is sold to us accross the media.

There is nothing in the dairy that can't be found elsewhere!!!

You can do like me and replace it with super good vegetable milk : almond milk, coconut milk, rice milk...
