Comments on: Milk, Does It Really Do a Body Good? https://erin-sands.com/milk-really-body-good/ Culinary Nutrition Expert Thu, 24 May 2018 15:53:18 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.7.1 By: Erin Sands https://erin-sands.com/milk-really-body-good/#comment-216 Thu, 05 Apr 2018 17:20:31 +0000 https://erin-sands.com/?p=1003#comment-216 In reply to Isabel.

I agree. Just look in the grocery store. Just about everything has cheese in it. We are eating more dairy than ever. The government got involved 30 when they first urged Americans to start eating low fat. This left a huge surplus of milk fat that they started buying up to help dairy farmers. They had warehouses full of it.They couldn’t sell enough of it to other countries, so they embarked on an advertising campaign to get people to eat more cheese. Well, it worked. Education will hopefully turn people back.

I think you summed the pointlessness of cow’s milk beautifully. And you know what, people will still not believe you (or me), because of the sheer pressure of the dairy lobbies out there and the heavy marketing in the shops. But the more articles like yours are written and shared, the more people out there will see the light. Thanks for this, keep up the good work. đŸ™‚

We all grew up on that! I used to drink a gallon a week alone. Most people believe it is the best source of calcium. The problem is that milk is so acidic, our bodies actually need to pull the calcium out of our bones to alkalize the body. That explains the high rates of osteoporosis in milk drinking populations.

Hi Max! You’re right. We are the only animals in the world that drink another animal’s milk. Good idea about the coconut milk, I’ll add oat milk too. All I do is pour boiling water over a cup of coconut flakes. Then add 3 more cups of cool water. Process it in the blender and pour through my nutbag or cheesecloth.

We’ve been “fed” a lot of misinformation on dairy in the name of profits, and I always applaud those who help bring the truth into the light. Bravo!

Unfortunately milk does not agree with my system. I have always though that like other animals we are suppose to get the milk from our mothers for a period of time and then thats the end of it. I have found coconut milk to be very enjoyable. When I clicked on the link to how to make milk I see you only have almond. Will you add coconut to that list?

I am one of the many people that thinks milk is healthy for us, cause that’s what I learned growing up. I will have to show my wife this article because she too thinks milk is healthy. Thanks for the info. I am glad you wrote this article so I can learn the truth about milk.
