Drinking milk is not only cruel, it’s also unnatural. Only humans drink it after weaning and milk from a different species at that! It’s no more natural than drinking badger’s milk or cat’s milk. Cow's milk is food for baby cows, not for adult human beings. The substance is nutritionally imbalanced for humans. Many people find milk hard to digest resulting in allergies. Hormones in milk are linked to ovarian, breast and prostate cancer, as well as juvenile-onset diabetes. The saturated fat, cholesterol and animal protein it contains are linked to many other diseases, including Multiple Sclerosis and Crohn's Disease. Cow's milk: quite simply, baby cows do very well with it, but human beings don't.

THE CALCIUM MYTH: Yes, milk contains calcium but like all animal protein, milk, when consumed, acidifies the body's pH which in turn triggers a biological correction. The most readily available source of acid neutralizer is in the bones so the very same calcium that our bones need to stay strong is utilized to neutralize the acidifying effect of the milk. Once calcium is pulled out of the bones, it leaves the body via the urine, so that the net result is an actual calcium deficit.
