Here are some reasons to avoid dairy:
1. Cheese is a major source of dioxin in our diet (a prominent cause of cancer).
2. Cow's milk is designed to grow calves fast. Foods that promote fast growth cause cancer.
3. While milk itself contains calcium, the acid load from the animal protein can actually produce a negative balance because of loss through excretion. (Eskimos consume huge amounts of calcium from fish bones, but have the highest rates of hip-fracture because of all the animal protein.)
4. Milk produced on factory farms (nearly all milk) comes from cows that live miserable lives, not out in the pastures that the pictures would like us to think.
5. Drinking milk supports the veal industry. Male calves are sent to the veal factory farms. And you know what that means.
6. While fruits and veggies (especially green leafy ones) contain less calcium, our bodies retain more of it than from milk, creating a positive balance. (Populations that do not consume animal products have far lower rates of osteoporosis.)
