THE DAIRY REALITY

HERE is an EXCELLENT article that finally tells the truth about dairy and provides 6 reasons why you should "avoid it at all costs".

SPOILER: milk is not good for you!

Research has shown that dairy not only DOESN'T help to build strong bones, it can actually cause bone LOSS (it has to do with dairy's acidity and the protein in milk). Read the full article, or just the bullet points, to get a better idea regarding the reality of dairy (like how the USDA's food pyramid and recommended servings were created by agricultural industry, meaning the people who stand to profit from you consuming their products are the ones telling you to EAT their products, with the clout of the government behind them).

Additional research not mentioned in this article has also linked dairy to cancer. The precise numbers: 90% of cancers are PREVENTABLE, only 10% are caused by genetics. Of the 90% of cases that are preventable, the number one factor found to have increased overall cancer risk? Increased casein intake, the PRIMARY PROTEIN IN ALL DAIRY.

Dairy production also:
*Pollutes drinking water due to run off from farms
*Contributes to the VEAL INDUSTRY (momma cow has the get pregnant to make milk->if she has a boy he is no use to the dairy industry->baby-boy is sold to be confined, killed, and sold as veal meat)
*Contributes to starvation around the globe (since the resources required to produce dairy and meat are far more than those required to produce veggies and grains, therefore leading to less overall food production)

As a former cheese addict, I will admit that my recent venture into dairy-free living was rocky. At first I felt such a strong urge to snack on some cheese that it felt like torture to go without! Lasagna, pizza, pasta, Mexican foods!!! After learning more about the effects protein in milk have on the brain, I now understand that I was LITERALLY addicted to cheese. That's right: dairy has similar effects to opioids (ie: HEROINE!) on the brain, and boy did I go through withdrawal!

But now that it's become habit and I've been without cheese for an extended time, I don't crave dairy like I used to and to be completely honest, I don't miss it at all. No more cravings and I'm fully satisfied by the food that I eat.
