Guest guest Posted May 7, 2008 Report Share Posted May 7, 2008 Someone (here?) said that when infants are nursing they pick up antibodies from their mothers and because of that will react as if they were sensitive to foods their mothers are sensitive to, right? I was reading that Harper's article about raw milk and it struck me, when it said that cows in the barn-type dairies are fed grain and it doubles their production but halves their lives - because in part they were't built to live on GRAIN. If you eat too much of something your body wasn't designed to handle for too long, doesn't that make you liable to develop food sensitivities and antibodies? So what if the grain-fed cows were developing food sensitivities and making massive quantities of antibodies to the grain they were fed (and soy?). Would the pasturization destroy them or would some make it through? Would that prime our bodies to develop sensitivities to the same things that were setting off the cattle? Or, I've also read that in sensitive people, when they eat the foods they are sensitive to, it gives their breastfeeding babies colic because the undigested proteins pass through in the milk, triggering the baby's immune system. Could that be happening in the cows milk too? Triggering the people who already have the genetic predisposition to celiac? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
