This title was a milk slogan in Canada…just in case you didn’t recognise the title.
Since few people drink whole milk straight from a cow, milk undergoes a process called homogenisation. This mechanical breakdown blasts larger molecules into smaller ones, in order for the fats to be suspended. There are some key problems that now exist because of this process. By obliterating fat molecules, they become so small that they are absorbed directly through the stomach lining. Usually all things consumed are filtered through the liver so that it can detoxify any harmful toxins before entering the bloodstream. With undigested particles going right into the bloodstream before filtration, unstable fats can now float around the body. They interact with oxygen in the blood and go rancid. This creates free radicals (toxins) that now roam throughout the cardiovascular system. Cardiovascular disease rose as soon as homogenized milk came on the market.
Skim, 1% or 2% milk are usually preferred by most people. As fat is removed, the fat soluble vitamins A, D, E and K are also removed. Because calcium is bound in fat, it is also removed. Low fat milk has to be fortified with calcium and other vitamins. The problem here is the quality of nutrients and vitamins. Synthetic nutrients are added which are generally made in a lab. We assume that there is full body absorption but nature likes whole foods and now it’s been altered. When fat is removed from milk, skim milk powder is added which gives milk more bulk. This powder contains oxidized fat (rancid oils) and denatured proteins. These are proteins that have changed form and the body sees them as toxins, therefore trying to eliminate them. Milk also undergoes pasteurization, which is a process of applying heat in order to sterilize. Heat is one of the 3 things that destroy fat. Milk used to be an ideal food but now it’s sterile, with no life force. What we start with is so different from what we finish with.
Remember that there are other sources of calcium which don’t include dairy products. Parsley, sesame seeds, salmon and broccoli are all great choices that not only have calcium, but have many added minerals and vitamins.
