1. Dairy is for babies

Every mother produces milk only for her baby. And no animal in nature drinks another animal’s milk. Pigs don’t drink goats milk and monkeys don’t drink elephant milk. We are the only species that drinks milk of another species. When you drink milk you are not only depriving a baby of its birth-right, you also get yourself sick.

2. Milk contains growth hormones

Milk is the food for babies to grow rapidly at the time when they most need to grow. Milk contains powerful growth hormones. Therefore, dairy is one of the biggest contributors to the obesity epidemic that in turn is responsible for many other diseases. Growth hormones also promote cancers.

3. Milk is high in fat and cholesterol

Like all animal products, milk contains high fat and no fibre. This lethal combination is the major cause of lifestyle diseases like type 2 diabetes, heart disease, hypertension and even alzheimers and dementia.

4. Dairy causes disease

Since cows are confined close to each other, disease spreads easily. Many bacilli are destroyed by pasteurisation. Tubercle bacilli is an exception though and can survive despite pasteurisation. This is the cause of the new wave of tuberculosis. Dairy is also responsible for mucous formation leading to respiratory diseases.

5. Dairy contains pus and blood

A cow’s udders are indurated and inflammed as a result of milking continuously and this results in pus and blood in the milk (and a lot of pain to the cow). It’s rare to find milk that does not contain pus.

6. Dairy contains antibiotics and chemicals

Thanks to the diseases that arise due to close confinement, the unhygienic conditions and living in their own excreta and the induration of the udders, cows are fed antibiotics daily. These too are excreted in the milk. Also since their feed is usually not organic, this results in the milk containing unwanted chemicals (pesticides and herbicides) and making it a dangerous cocktail. When cows feed on garbage, manmade chemicals such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) and other unwanted ingredients may find their way into the milk too.

7. Dairy is often laced with lethal ingredients

In order to keep milk from coagulating during transport in hot conditions in countries like India, urea is added to dairy. This is a fertiliser and can result in kidney disease.

8. Dairy is often consumed in its concentrated form

Paneer, cheese and even sweets often contain concentrated amounts of dairy. For example one gram of cheese is made from 16 grams of milk, or one gram of paneer from 12 grams of milk. This concentration exponentially increases all diary related problems.

9. Dairy causes stress

Stress hormones like adrenaline are abundant in dairy due to the abhorrent conditions in which the cows are kept. The fact that they are artificially inseminated year after year and have their babies taken away from them so their milk can be sold in the market adds to their stress. Cows face a perpetual lockdown. Stress hormones in dairy naturally cause stress in the consumer.

10. Milk contains hormones

All our hormones are orchestrated by the pitutary gland. Milk, as the secretion of a female mammal, naturally contains estrogen, progrestrone, prolactin, adrenaline, growth homones, oxytocin as well as all those hormones injected into the cow to force her to produce more milk. These hormones cause hormonal havoc in us resulting in a variety of hormonal diseases such as diabetes, hypothyroid, prostate enlargement, menstrual disturbances, menopausal disturbances, infertility, prostate enlargement, breast, ovarian and prostate cancers.

11. Milk is a foreign protein

This along with other animal proteins can be a cause of auto-immune diseases like lupus, multiple sclerosis, ankylosing spondylitis, type-1 diabetes, psoriasis, vitiligo, ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease, Guillian Barre Syndrome, Graves disease, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, vasculitis, myesthenia gravis, Raynauds disease, rhuematoid arthritis and more.
