Milk: Is it really worth drinking?

Perhaps you never think about this but actually this is a new information for all of us. This brought to me in mind when I read about an article by Paul Spencer in his website, which proved to enlighten me a lot about Milk. Some of his statement and information really answered many questions of mine. Below are extracts of some useful information regarding milk and its drinking consequences:

Milk are very benefial and nutritious: only in its clean and raw form. Pausterised milk lost many of its benefical and useful nutrition, and furthermore processed milk posed more dangers for human because it contains antibiotics and hormones that can cause many health complications later.

Cow milk is benefical to calf as human milk to man, therefore the composition of proteins and minerals are indeed varied considerably. Cow milk consumption is harder to digest because of the presence of casein, a specific substance in cows milk. Furthermore, the presence of casein in human digestive tract can trigger our body to produce a lot of mucus which is responsible for the occurence of allergies and flu.
The recurrent contraction of cold may be traced back to milk consumption in some people.

Pausterised milk lost many of its useful enzymes and beneficial bacterias. This lead to the idea that pasteurised milk are "dead food" despite its effectiveness in controlling diseases.

Homogenisation process involved in the treatment of milk distributes the fat throughout the milk by reducing the fat size. But as an effect due to homogenisation, an enzyme called xanthine oxidase (a type of enzyme responsible for atherosclerosis)is left behind and attach themselves to the smaller fat globules. The smaller fat globules are readily available to enter bloodstream and in combination with xanthine oxidase, it will contribute to the formation of fat plaque in the arteries and therefore causes atherosclerosis in the long term.

Clean raw milk is better than pausterised milk because it has more enzymes that are useful for human body process. Remember, enzymes are biological catalyst that speed up chemical process in our body. Enzymes are mostly available in raw food, such as green vegetables.

Calcium is not only present in milk, it is also abundantly present in vegetables and plants (where does the cow get their calcium if not from grass and plants?). Therefore it is a wise choice to look to plants for calcium. Recommended ones are brocolli, cooked collard greens, kale and cabbages. There are many more to choose from and the only limitation is your imagination, sources and taste.

After all, Eat wisely!
