DAIRY IS ACIDIC! What the Dairy Counsel Doesn't Want You to Know... Dairy is not something you want to consume if you want to lose weight and avoid diseases. You know this by now, acid forming foods do more harm than good and enable all types of disease, so here’s the scoop on dairy (which is highly acid-forming)... Cow's milk (which includes skim, 1%, 2%, whole, chocolate milk, light cream, heavy cream and half and half) and all other dairy products (including cheese, ice cream, sour cream, cream cheese, custard and yogurt) are ALL acid forming foods. Note that this includes raw dairy products too---they might be more "pure" and haven't been subjected to the denaturing of pasteurization, but they still are acid- forming. There are mountains of studies linking the consumption of dairy products to heart disease, cancer, arthritis, migraines, allergies, asthma and other respiratory conditions. These are all classic examples of illnesses caused or worsened by acid. Dairy products also coat your mucus membranes and result in thick, slow-moving mucus build-up. This is the primary reason why so many children constantly have, runny, stuffy noses and ear infections--their bodies can't deal with the mucus and end up all inflamed. Unfortunately, mainstream medicine hasn't been educated in how foods affect the body (odd but true)...so most doctors, educated primarily in drug therapy, just prescribe antibiotics or create small holes in kids' ear drums and insert tubes (called a myringtomy) to drain the pus and mucus. So doctors ignore the cause and mask the symptoms, and your child suffers as a result and often with permanent hearing loss in later life. Listen, if your kids (or any adults you may know) have frequent colds, stuffy noses, sinus infections and ear infections, here's something that will actually help them --take them off of dairy and you'll see a HUGE difference. Dairy products are also high in cholesterol and fat, and contain no fiber whatsoever. Now, the Dairy Council wants to ensure huge profits continue to be made, so dairy is touted as a health food. Attractive, slim celebrities are paid bundles to paint fake milk moustaches on their upper lips and pose with the caption "Body by milk." That sure is an interesting claim... Cow's milk, by nature is designed to take an animal (a cow) that weighs between 80-100 pounds at birth to a 550- pound calf within 6-10 months. Cow's milk also has 300 times more casein than human milk. Casein is a thick, gooey substance that helps form huge bovine bones. But inside a human, it's nearly impossible to digest and creates a tremendous amount of acid in the stomach. Now, one of the scare tactics used by the dairy industry is that dairy products are essential to make sure you have enough calcium. This is NOT true. The truth is-- and this is backed up by the medical records of millllions of arthritis sufferers--the more milk you drink, the less calcium you have in your bones. Fact. How? This is partly because the calcium in dairy products (or any other source such as supplements) is basically useless in an acidic body. Dairy takes calcium, it doesn't give it. You see, when your body is overrun with acid, it leeches alkaline minerals, including calcium, from your bones and organs to neutralize the acid. So you don't get the benefit of the calcium from dairy or any calcium supplement either, because it's used up in the fight against acid. There are literally hundreds of thousands of pages written on the dangers of dairy products. The bottom line is this: Dairy products are NOT good for you. They are NOT a health food. And they're NOT essential to get calcium. They are the perfect food to eat if you want to be sick, overweight, stuffy and diseased. Now if you're having dairy withdrawal just from reading this, relax... I wrote a review of a way to help your situation. It’s called Great Taste No Pain and you can find it here. If you must have dairy...if you "can't live without it," the Great Taste No Pain manuals show you how to eat your craved dairy items and to minimize their harmful effects. GTNP also suggests delicious healthy alternatives to dairy that you'll truly love. And if calcium is your priority, you're all set because the GTNP recipe book contains delicious recipes featuring alkaline, calcium-rich foods. And with your body being more alkaline by eating the GTNP way, you'll actually be able to USE that calcium too. To your health,
