Mad Cow

Dairy. The idea of giving it up makes some people crazy. They can't and won't live without cheese. So go ahead and eat it but here are the facts.

Cheese is made from cow's milk. Cow's milk is taken from a lactating cow who is no longer feeding a calf and is forced into permanent lactation either by hormone injections or simply by milking the cow past her calf-feeding time. The cow's milk is then pasteurized and homogenized, meaning heated to the boiling point. This rids it of germs to make it USDA compliant but also destroys any natural enzymes. Those enzymes that are destroyed are the same enzymes which are critical to your digestive system when trying to break down cow's milk into usable vitamins and nutrients.

"Mammals need the enzyme lactase to digest lactose (the
sugar found in dairy). However, between the ages of 18 months and 4 years,
we lose 90 to 95 percent of this enzyme. The undigested lactose and the
acidic nature of pasteurized milk encourage the growth of bacteria in our
intestines. All this contributes to a greater risk of cancer because
cancer cells thrive in acidic conditions."

Cheese is a fermenting of milk. It involves controlled spoilage and mold. For instance, Roquefort and bleu cheese have holes poked through the cow's milk in order to marble the mold throughout the cheese.

Cheap cheese like the big bags at Sams are mixed with preservatives. You might notice the white powder coating on shredded cheese. This preservative helps to keep the shreds from sticking to each other so that you can sprinkle them more easily. Cheap cheese tastes like plastic sometimes. This is because it has absorbed the plastic packaging in which it has been stored, sometimes for up to a month.

"Researchers at Harvard, Yale, Penn State, and the
National Institutes of Health have studied the effects of dairy intake on
bones. Not one of these studies found dairy to be a deterrent to
osteoporosis. On the contrary, a study funded by the National Dairy
Council itself revealed that the high protein content of dairy actually leaches
calcium from the body."

We use cheese or milk in almost every single restaurant, fast food and "kid" food we serve: pizza, macaroni and cheese, cheetos, mozzarella sticks, hamburgers, tacos, enchiladas, queso, cereal, cupcakes, cookies, frappucinos.

If you are fighting disease, stop it. It is very difficult to digest cheese. Your stomach will move the product into your small intestine in almost its whole form because it is not a usable substance. Once in the small intestine your body will "discuss" what to do with the offending substance. Most frequently, your body will table the discussion until a use can be determined and will store the substance as putrefaction. Putrefaction is the waste that lines the small intestine much like the line of people at the DMV who are waiting for their drivers test. The rest of the waste gets to proceed through while the cheese waits for the body to see if it can find a use for it.

"In the beginning of my career, I concentrated on the
biochemical processes of liver cancer. Chapter three delineates the
decades-long laboratory work we did with experimental animals, work that passed
the requirements to be called "good science." The finding: casein,
and very likely all animal proteins, may be the most relevant cancer-causing
substances that we consume. Adjusting the amount of dietary casein has the
power to turn on and turn off cancer growth, and to override the
cancer-producing effects of aflatoxin, a very potent Class IA
carcinogen."
