dangers of dairy article. Thoughts?

[Guest guest]

Hey all, I work as a personal trainer and here is an article that was up on

PTonthenet, which I was surprised by, as they usually have a lot of articles up

by people like Chek and had been very pro-real milk.

Thoughts on this article?  (I have to copy and paste vs. link since the article

is only available by paid subscription).  I was actually surprised to see

Mercola and Chek in his list of sources for this article.

Dangers of Dairy

By Eastwood

Countless scientists and charities as well as government agencies spend hundreds

of hours a week analyzing cancer research, and now dairy products have come

under the microscope. The latest research from the United States reveals that

the hormones cows secrete into milk are suppressing genes that usually detect

and kill cancer cells as they develop and increasing the receptors on cells that

promote cancerous mutations.

The aim of this article is to bring the proven research to your attention and

describe in better detail the mechanism of how dairy actually alters your own

genetic cellular makeup, thereby allowing cancerous cells to develop. I will

also discuss the reversibility of this epigenetic mutation by eliminating dairy

consumption and increasing intake of certain other nutrients that protect these

cells.

Hormones in Cow’s Milk

Grosvenor et al describes that a cow secretes hormones into its milk to allow

the young underdeveloped calf to grow. The same hormone a

nd substance content can be found in human breast milk. If you know your anatomy

and physiology, a human infant or young calf has a poorly developed endocrine

(hormonal) system. Thus, it would only be wise for nature to elect one parent to

carry a mechanism to transport not only nutrients but hormones to their young.

However, for us humans, most products we consume orally eventually enter our

bloodstream via the stomach or the intestines. So if cows naturally secrete

hormones into their milk, we are practically ingesting animal hormones straight

into our bodies. Knowing this, it should be easy to understand that current

dairy products are harmful. It is easy to draw parallels to the damage caused by

injecting or orally administering the use of anabolic steroids. Essentially with

dairy products, you are orally ingesting ANIMAL hormones into your bloodstream,

hormones composed of mainly estrogen as well. Once in the blood stream (as these

hormones survive digestion in the stomach), they then have access to the whole

human body and combine at certain receptor sites, where they exhibit their

effects.

To appreciate the real damage milk and related products such as cheese and those

ever-more-popular whey protein shakes can do, let’s analyze the contents of

cow’s milk. The following are some of the compounds found naturally in cow’s

milk:

Estrogens (Female Hormones)

Androgens (Male Hormones)

IGF-1 (Insulin like growth factor-1)

Prolactins

Leptins

Epidermal and transforming growth factors=0

A

Of all these ingredients, it’s the IGF-1 that appears to be the main culprit

for increasing the development of cancerous tumours. The full mechanism can be

read in Dr. Bibb’s book, “Deadly Dairy Deception,†but essentially, IGF-1

exerts a powerful effect on the p53 gene at the receptor known as IGF-R1 (type 1

insulin growth factor receptor). At this receptor, a number of cellular

responses occur, including proliferation and the protection of cells from

programmed cell death (apoptosis). This results in the effect seen in Figure 1

below, where cells with a mutation inside divide uncontrollably as apoptosis of

abnormal cells is suppressed.

 

Figure 1 - Abnormal apoptosis,

causing a cancerous colony to develop

 

The turning off of a gene is better known as hypermethylation or epigenetic

mutation. This epigenetic mutation has been proven in the laboratory to be

“heritable†and thus passed onto your children. This is due to the

hypermethylated cells leaving “molecular footprints†that can be used as

markers for constructing new cells of this nature, which means your children

probably aren’t safe from your current dairy intake either. One study

has shown that prenatal nutritional and metabolic events are memorized or

“imprinted†by the developing organism that may result in the development of

diseases in adult life.

In healthy cell division, the p53 gene should cause natural cell death in either

aged or

defective cells as illustrated in Figure 2 below.

 

Figure 2 - Natural cell death or apoptosis,

where an abnormal cell is programmed to die

 

It isn’t just the IGF-1 molecules that are dangerous in milk and similar

products. It is also the estrogens that are consumed. The full mechanism of the

estrogen in prostate cancer and hormone-sensitive breast cancer is also complex

and can be further understood in Bibb’s aforementioned book. Essentially,

these estrogens bind to cells via estrogen receptor alpha and over stimulate the

development of cancerous cells. This enhances the effect of IGF-1, which

suppresses the p53 gene and which would normally perform apoptosis and program

these cells for elimination. In effect, what you have is one protein hormone

(IGF-1) that suppresses your cell defence and another steroid hormone

(estrogens) that simultaneously stimulates cancerous mutations. Together, you

have a very dangerous cocktail. That’s how cells seen in Figure A develop so

easily, especially as these compounds are hormones. Being a hormone, it exerts

powerful effects on its receptor cell. Thus, estrogens and IGF-1 work very well

together at producing the exact same effect but via different receptors, making

them excellent accomplices in this cancer debacle. This means children and

adults are consuming a dangerous concoction of hormones and protein hormones in

staple foods such as macaroni and cheese, milkshakes, yoghurt, pizza, protein

bars, protein shakes and cheese

burgers. A full list of foods to avoid can be found below:

All Milk: Skimmed, non fat, 2%, half & half, evaporated, etc

All Cheeses: Cottage, vegetarian, organic, light, cream cheese, etc

Milk Protein Concentrates: Whey protein, whey protein isolates, casein  

All Cream: Light and heavy whipped, sour cream, etc 

All Caseins: Hydrolysates, calcium caseinate, magnesium, caseinate, etc

Milk Powders: Whole, non-fat milk

All Ice Cream

All Yoghurts

Hormones and the Cancer Link

Cancer is a group of cells that have been modified so that they do not die!

According to Bibb, if a gene that causes a cell to die becomes defective or

conversely, a gene that keeps a cell from dying becomes defective, then a cell

can become “immortal†and pass this gift onto its daughter cells when it

divides. This gift is then passed on down the generations of cell division, and

soon you will have developed a group of cells that do not die. This is what is

known as a cancer. This is how it is with prostrate cancer, for example. The p53

gene causes cells to die and has been found to be defective in prostrate and in

many other cancers. In the lab, prostate and estrogen receptor positive breast

cancer tissue behave similarly. Therefore, it is likely that what is said about

one is true of another.

It is through this combined effect that a tumour develops as the cells divide

and reproduce defectively, which is why all cancers get worse or grow o

ver time. These cancer cells are going through natural cell division (mitosis)

and passing on their cancerous information onto future daughter cells. The

prostate gland, as with other glands, is stimulated by many types of hormones

and proteins. These hormones and proteins produce their effect by attaching to

the numerous receptors that have thus far been identified. It is these receptors

that play an important role in determining the health of a gland and whether the

individual will develop cancer from abnormal stimulation of these receptors.

Is Dairy Ever Safe?

If the dairy is treated like it was in the late 1920s when milk was first

introduced, it would then be safe for consumption. A brief history lesson tells

us that vitamin D is not a natural ingredient of milk. In the early 1900s,

Ricketts was a disease of epidemic proportion due to a diet lacking in vitamin

D. This discovery was made by one very clever biochemist, Dr Harry Steenbock at

the University of Madison, Wisconsin. Dr. Steenbock exposed cow’s milk to

ultra violet light and found that a compound called “ergosterol†would

immediately convert to vitamin D upon exposure to certain wave lengths of UV

light. Steenbock even won a patent for his work at curing Rickets by his process

of UV exposure to milk in its manufacturing process. According to Bibb,

Steenbock also inadvertently helped prevent people of his time from developing

prostate and breast cancer in a way he can never appreciate. We now know his

method also denatures

the dangerous IGF-1 molecule and the estrogens by breaking down the disulphide

bonds that keep IGF-1 active and that bind to estrogens in the milk. This

process of ultra violet light exposure was used until the mid 1940s, where it

became more economical to synthetically manufacture vitamin D and add it to the

milk later.

An Increase of Prostate and Breast Cancer

Discussed earlier was the concept of epigenetic mutation, which is the

“heritable†capacity of turning your genes off by leaving molecular

footprints in your DNA. Thus, only now are we experiencing the unfortunate side

effects of the evolution of the dairy foods process. This means the children

from the 1940s are more prone to prostate and breast cancer as their gene

protection systems are becoming weaker and weaker with time. This is due to each

generation exposing themselves to IGF-1 and estrogens, except each parent

weakens their p53 gene number, leaving their children with less unharmed p53

genes and so on, until now we really start to notice when we receive reports of

teenagers with breast cancer and young men with prostate cancer. Until milk is

treated again with UV light, we are going to continue to see young females

looking like adult women and younger ages of people with prostate and breast

cancer. The signs are all around us. Who else can explain why Western school

girls are so more mature for their age compared to Asian, Japanese or other

Eastern societies that do not consume large amounts of dairy? Scientists have

noticed these trends by looking at dietary practices from 1986 to the present

day, specifically noting the relationship between increased dairy consumption

and increased risk of prostate cancer. This trend is even more evident in the

black community.

The Role of Race in Prostate Cancer Incidence

The incidence of prostate cancer has been found to be significantly higher in

black men than white men in certain regions of the world including the United

States, the United Kingdom and in the African Caribbean (see Figure 3

below).  

 

Figure 3 - Prostate cancer incidence 1975-1994 for

black men vs white men. Top line represents black men.

The reasons why black men are more prone to prostate cancer are researched and

available, but the largest reason is the fact that they are born with higher

levels of prostate specific antigen (PSA). This antigen is responsible for

releasing more free IGF-1 into the body as it digests a binding protein called

“IGF-1 binding protein-3.†To make matters worse, Tricoli et al and Winter

et al concluded studies that found black men with age matched controls have

lower levels of IGF-1 binding protein-3, which means they have a natural

ability to free IGF-1 than white men, but they already have more IGF-1

circulating as well! Therefore, black men (and women) really do not need dairy

products to increase their IGF-1 levels any further, as this can increase their

incidence of cancer considerably. The table 

below details the massive change in prostate cancer incidence in black men in

the US versus black men from Africa:

 U.S.

 Gambia 

4.7

 New York

246.5

 Mali, Bamako

7.6

*per 100,000

                                        \

                  

From the research data, a trend toward higher incidences of prostate cancer in

colder climates versus warmer climates in black men was also noted. This can

largely be attributed to the vitamin D effect discussed earlier, which naturally

occurs in skin exposed to UV light. In the same study, the authors concluded

that dietary supplementation of vitamin D could reduce the risk of prostate and

several other types of cancers they researched (the daily dose would be a range

of 1200-2000 iu per day).

Alternatives to Dairy

Now that you have a greater understanding of the dangers of dairy, it is time to

discuss what alternatives can be used instead to lower your risk of prostate

and breast cancer. Listed below are some alternatives to milk from a protein as

well as calcium perspective:

Bee Pollen Granules

Nutritional Benefits:

Bee pollen contains around 50 percent protein, much of which is in the form of

free amino acids. It is also high in the B complex vitamins and enzymes.

Unflavored Gelatin

Nutritional Benefits: Gelatin (Gelatine) is made from the collagen protein found

in bone, skin and cartilage. When beef or pork are boiled, the collagen is

extracted and changes into gelatin. Our gelatin is an excellent source of

protein containing over 85 percent protein. Typical usage is four teaspoons

per day. Gelatin may be mixed in non carbonated juices or with foods.

Brown Rice/Rice Protein

Nutritional Benefits: Brown Rice/Rice Protein contains 80 percent protein.

Rice Protein Concentrate is made from Non GMO Sprouted Brown Rice Grains. The

amino acid profile is approximately 98 percent similar to mother's milk. A

vegan hypo-allergenic natural grain protein concentrate, brown rice/rice

protein has a strong flavor profile as some of the protein is in free amino

acids.

Organic Hemp Protein Powder

Nutritional Benefits: An organic food with 37 percent protein,

10 percent beneficial fats, 43 percent fiber (90% soluble, 10% insoluble),

chlorophyll, magnesium, zinc and iron. Hempseed is one of nature's most perfect

superfoods. One serving provides 11 grams of raw organic protein and a whopping

14 grams of fiber (54% of the RDI). Hemp contains all eight essential amino

acids with the bonus of essential fatty acids.

Organic Blue-Green Algae Powder

Nutritional Benefits: This rare superfood is a protein powerhouse.20It provides

a highly bioavailable protein that is 80 percent assimilated in our bodies

(compared to meat protein, which is 20% assimilated), and its amino acid profile

is optimal for humans. Klamath Lake algae is also the world's most concentrated

source of chlorophyll, a valuable phytonutrient considered by many to be one of

nature's most cleansing and regenerating substances.

SciVation Xtend

Nutritional Benefits: Xtend is a precise, scientific blend of Energy Aminos

consisting of the proven 2:1:1 ratio of Branched Chain Amino Acids (L-Leucine,

L-Isoleucine and L-Valine), Glutamine, Citrulline Malate, and Vitamin B6 that

will give you the energy you need to maximize your training while enhancing

recovery at the same time.

Egg Protein, Egg White and Egg Protein Powder

Nutritional Benefits: Egg protein is commonly referred to as the " perfect

protein, " and it is the common reference to which other proteins are compared.

Two values are commonly used to evaluate protein quality: protein digestibility

corrected amino acid score (PDCAA) and biological value (BV). BV measures the

amount of protein retained from the absorbed protein. Egg protein scores 100

percent on the BV, meaning all protein ingested from the egg is used by the

body. Egg protein contains all eight essential amino acids required by the

body.

The biggest opposing factor I have seen when approaching people about this life

saving issue is not that they don’t believe me or the research, it’s that

they are extremely habitual dairy users. People like the taste of dairy in their

diets and have a well established habit of dairy consumption. The best we can do

to combat resistance is offer strong, healthy alternatives to dairy right off

the bat. Educate your clients on the pasteurization process used on milk, which

is an archaic method to prevent harmful bacteria entering our bodies. As

pasteurization involves subjecting milk to high temperatures of heat treatment,

this also kills good bacteria (as heat is a non selective procedure) and

denatures much of the protein contained in the product. Also, as we age, we lose

the enzyme lactate dehydrogenase, which allows us to process lactose. This is

why many people have stomach bloating or uncomfortable reactions to dairy

products or products containing dairy. These are just a few of the

effective arguments you c

an present to your clients when educating them on the dangers of some dairy

products and suggesting they find alternative sources of protein.

occurs in skin exposed to UV light. In the same study, the authors concluded

that dietary supplementation of vitamin D could reduce the risk of prostate and

several other types of cancers they researched (the daily dose would be a range

of 1200-2000 iu per day).

Alternatives to Dairy

Now that you have a greater understanding of the dangers of dairy, it is time to

discuss what alternatives can be used instead to lower your risk of prostate

and breast cancer. Listed below are some alternatives to milk from a protein as

well as calcium perspective:

Bee Pollen Granules

Nutritional Benefits: Bee pollen contains around 50 percent protein, much of

which is in the form of free amino acids. It is also high in the B complex

vitamins and enzymes.

Unflavored Gelatin

Nutritional Benefits: Gelatin (Gelatine) is made from the collagen protein found

in bone, skin and cartilage. When beef or pork are boiled, the collagen is

extracted and changes into gelatin. Our gelatin is an excellent source of

protein containing over 85 percent protein. Typical usage is four teaspoons

per day. Gelatin may be mixed in non carbonated juices or with foods.

Brown Rice/Rice Protein

Nutritional Benefits: Brown Rice/Rice Protein contains 80 percent protein.

Rice Protein Concentrate is made from Non GMO Sprouted Brown Rice Grains. The

amino acid profile is approximately 98 percent similar to mother's milk. A

vegan hypo-allergenic natural grain protein concentrate, brown rice/rice

protein has a strong flavor profile as some of the protein is in free amino

acids.

Organic Hemp Protein Powder

Nutritional Benefits: An organic food with 37 percent protein,

10 percent beneficial fats, 43 percent fiber (90% soluble, 10% insoluble),

chlorophyll, magnesium, zinc and iron. Hempseed is one of nature's most perfect

superfoods. One serving provides 11 grams of raw organic protein and a whopping

14 grams of fiber (54% of the RDI). Hemp contains all eight essential amino

acids with the bonus of essential fatty acids.

Organic Blue-Green Algae Powder

Nutritional Benefits: This rare superfood is a protein powerhouse. It provides a

highly bioavailable protein that is 80 percent assimilated in our bodies

(compared to meat protein, which is 20% assimilated), and its amino acid profile

is optimal for humans. Klamath Lake algae is also the world's most concentrated

source of chlorophyll, a valuable phytonutrient considered by many to be one of

nature's most cleansing and regenerating substances.

SciVation Xtend

Nutritional Benefits: Xtend is a precise, scientific blend of Energy Aminos

consisting of the proven 2:1:1 ratio of Branched Chain Amino Acids (L-Leucine,

L-Isoleucine and

L-Valine), Glutamine, Citrulline Malate, and Vitamin B6 that will give you the

energy you need to maximize your training while enhancing recovery at the same

time.

Egg Protein, Egg White and Egg Protein Powder

Nutritional Benefits: Egg protein is commonly referred to as the " perfect

protein, " and it is the common reference to which other proteins are compared.

Two values are commonly used to evaluate protein quality: protein digestibility

corrected amino acid score (PDCAA) and biological value (BV). BV measures the

amount of protein retained from the absorbed protein. Egg protein scores 100

percent on the BV, meaning all protein ingested from the egg is used by the

body. Egg protein contains all eight essential amino acids required by the

body.

The biggest opposing factor I have seen when approaching people abo

ut this life saving issue is not that they don’t believe me or the research,

it’s that they are extremely habitual dairy users. People like the taste of

dairy in their diets and have a well established habit of dairy consumption. The

best we can do to combat resistance is offer strong, healthy alternatives to

dairy right off the bat. Educate your clients on the pasteurization process used

on milk, which is an archaic method to prevent harmful bacteria entering our

bodies. As pasteurization involves subjecting milk to high temperatures of heat

treatment, this also kills good bacteria (as heat is a non selective procedure)

and denatures much of the protein contained in the product. Also, as we age, we

lose the enzyme lactate dehydrogenase, which allows us to process lactose. This

is why many people have stomach bloating or uncomfortable reactions to dairy

products or products containing dairy. These are just a few of the

effective arguments you can present to your clients when educating them on the

dangers of some dairy products and suggesting they find alternative sources of

protein.
