Re: Low Fat Milk linked to Cancer

[Guest guest]

I have a question about " whole " milk. I buy raw milk. I take some of the cream

off and use it in various ways. The rest of the cream gets mixed and is drank

with the milk. As we are consuming the " whole " milk product, just in different

forms, is it still considered " whole " milk?

Teri, the way you are consuming the milk is A-OK. You are still getting all the

fat. The #1

problem with making low fat milk is that the fat now contains OXIDIZED

CHOLESTEROL in the

extraction process. That dietary cholesterol is bad for us. The resulting

casein proteins left in

the milk get scrambled as well causing ALLERGIES and then, perhaps worst of all,

the

drinkers of low fat milk have no means of getting their fat-soluble vitamins!

Incidentally

HOMOGENIZATION does many of these things as well. Avoid it if you can.

Isn't it amazing that so-called food scientists took God's most perfect food and

screwed it up

completely? And then did a phenomenal job of suckering the entire medical

profession into

peddling it! Now school officials can be admonished or fired for giving

children WHOLE MILK!

Reduced fat milk is so unstable that it should never be sold RAW, it's so

damaged that it

must be pasteurized to sell.

PS Teri, your message had about a mile of dead text trailing it. Please take

care to delete all

that before you send. OK?
