...so as you can see the 'alphabet goes to 'L' in my previous post...so here is some more...
52 good reasons to abandon milk and dairy continued...
___________________________________
M is for MAD COW DISEASE
"The destruction of milk from suspected cows was
recommended in England to insure the public's safety...
Experiments also indicate that temperatures reached
during pasteurization of milk and household cooking
does not kill the agent. In the United Kingtom on
December 1, 1988, the government announced a
ban on the sale of milk from infected cattle..."
Mad Cows and Milkgate, Virgil Hulse, M.D.
"A 24-year-old vegetarian has been diagnosed with
Cruetzfeld-Jacob disease. Scientists fear that milk
and cheese may be the source of infection."
London Times, August 23, 1997 Michael Hornsby

N is for NASAL CONGESTION
"Allergy to cow's milk proteins has been defined
as any adverse reaction mediated by immunological
mechanisms to one or several of these proteins.
Reactions to cow's milk have been classified
according on their onset as immediate (< 45 min)
or delayed-type (from 2 hours to days). In the
challenge test, 10 hours after milk intake the patient
presented serous rhinorrea, sneezing and nasal
blockade."
J Investig Allergol Clin Immunol, 1998 Jul, 8:4
"Symptoms of milk-protein allergy include cough,
choking, gasping, nose colds, asthma, sneezing
attacks..."
Annals of Allergy, 1951; 9

O is for OSTEOPOROSIS
"Osteoporosis is caused by a number of things,
one of the most important being too much
dietary protein."
SCIENCE 1986; 233
"Consumption of dairy products, particularly at
age 20 years, were associated with an increased
risk of hip fractures...metabolism of dietary protein
causes increased urinary excretion of calcium."
American Journal of Epidemiology 1994;139

P is for PESTICIDES AND POLLUTION
"A 1988 FDA survey of milk samples from grocery
stores in 10 cities found that 73% of the samples
contained pesticide residues."
Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, 1991; 47
"The level of dioxin in a single serving of the Ben
& Jerry's World's Best Vanilla Ice Cream tested
was almost 200 times greater than the 'virtually
safe [daily] dose' determined by the
Environmental Protection Agency."
Steve Milloy, author of junkscience.com (Milloy
tested samples of ice cream for dioxins. The only
major newspaper to report the story was the
Detroit Free Press). 11/8/99

Q is for QUIXOTE SYNDROME
"I have two Lasting impressions. One is that
underestimating Robert Cohen's ability to damage
the dairy industry is a big mistake. The other is a
profound wish that the man was on our side."
American Dairy Farmer Magazine
Oct., 1998, Editorial by Teresa VanWagner
(Robert Cohen is the author of the A-Z list.
More information:
www.notmilk.com).
"The colorful NotMilk site delights in describing
milk as a glass of 'pus with hormones and glue.'
Its creator, Robert Cohen, who calls himself the
Not Milk Man, keeps a list of diseases on the
site that he believes are caused by milk."
New York Times Magazine Section,
Sunday, December 24, 2000

R is for RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS
"Rheumatoid arthritis is more severe than
osteoarthritis, is most common in the hands
and feet, and is characterized by swelling
of joints. Since this type of joint pain can be
a symptom of a food allergy, dietary change
sometimes has a profound effect. Dairy
products, the most common food allergen,
are one likely candidate as a contributing
causative factor."
Vegetarian and Vegan Nutrition by George
Eisman, M.A., M.Sc., R.D.
"In the case of the eight year old female subject,
juvenile rheumatoid arthritis was a milk allergy.
After avoiding dairy products, all pain was
gone in three weeks."
Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine,
1985, 78

S is for SUDDEN INFANT DEATH
"Hypersensitivity to milk is implicated as a
cause of sudden death in infancy."
The Lancet, vol. 2, 7160, November 19, 1960
"Those who consumed cows milk were fourteen
times more likely to die from diarrhea-related
complications and four times more likely to die
of pneumonia than were breast-fed babies.
Intolerance and allergy to cow's milk products
is a factor in sudden infant death syndrome."
The Lancet, vol. 344, November 5, 1994
___________________________________
T is for TUBERCULOSIS
"A Mycobacterium bovis-infected dairy herd
of 369 Holstein cows with lactation duration
between 200 and 360 days was tested...
170 cows had positive tuberculin test results,
and 199 had negative results. Cows with
positive test results produced less milk than
did cows with negative test results...In this
herd, tuberculosis was associated with a 4%
decrease in milk production."
J Am Vet Med Assoc, 1998 Sep, 213:6
"Many diseases such as tuberculosis are
transmissible by milk products."
Journal of Dairy Science 1988; 71
___________________________________
U is for UTERINE & OVARIAN CANCER
"The uterus and ovary, like the breast, are
hormone-sensitive organs. Not surprisingly,
uterine and ovarian cancers are both linked
to fatty diets in epidemiologic studies."
Cancer 1966;19
"IGFs may be important in carcinogenesis,
possibly by increasing the risk of cellular
transformation by enhancing cell turnover.
These emerging epidemiologic data indicate
that high levels of IGF-I are associated with
an increased risk of at least several types of
carcinoma that are common in economically
developed countries."
Horm Res, 1999, 51 Suppl 3
___________________________________
V is for VITAMIN D-EFICIENCY
"Exposure to sunlight provides most humans
with their vitamin D requirement."
Journal of Nutrition 1996;126(4 Suppl)
"Testing of 42 milk samples found only 12%
within the expected range of Vitamin D
content. Testing of 10 samples of infant
formula revealed seven with more that twice
the Vitamin D content reported on the label,
one of which had more than four times the
label amount. Vitamin D is toxic in overdose."
New England Journal of Medicine, 1992, 326
___________________________________
W is for WISCOWSINITIS
"I have run into patients who undergo marked
alterations in behavior patterns when ingesting
dairy products, and whose behavior is totally
changed by withholding them."
Letter, Pediatrics 1979;64(5) John J. Murray, M.D.
"These dairymen are organized, they're adamant,
they're militant, and they - they're massing an
enormous amount of money that they're going to
put into political activities, very frankly."
Secretary of the Treasury, John Connally to
President Richard Nixon, from the Watergate
Tapes, March 23, 1971 (after President
Nixon had received a $3 million cash gift
from dairy-industry representatives in the
oval office).

X is for XANTHENE OXIDASE
"Bovine milk is presently under investigation
by this laboratory since it has been shown
that milk antibodies are significantly
elevated in the blood of male patients with
heart disease."
Proceedings of the Society for Experimental
Biology and Medicine, 163: 1981
"Bovine milk xanthene oxidase (BMXO)
may be absorbed and may enter the
cardiovascular system. People with clinical
signs of atherosclerosis have greater
quantities of BMXO antibodies. BMXO
antibodies are found in greater quantities
in those patients who consume the largest
volumes of homogenized milk and milk
products."
The X-O Factor, by Kurt Oster, M.D.,
and Donald Ross, Ph.D.
___________________________________
Y is for YIN/YANG
"Significant atherosclerosis is rare in peoples whose
diet over the life span is predominantly vegetarian
and low in calories, total lipids, saturated lipids and
cholesterol."
Nutrition and Athersclerosis, by Louis Katz
"Scientific data suggest positive relationships
between a
vegetarian diet and reduced risk
for several chronic degenerative diseases and
conditions, including obesity, coronary artery
disease, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and
some types of cancer."
Journal of the American Dietetic Association,
November 1997, 97(1)
___________________________________
Z is for ZITS
"Acne is an end-organ hyper-response to
androgens...These data show that sebaceous
glands are stimulated by androgens to varying
degrees and support the theory of an
end-organ response in acne."
British Journal of Dermatology, 1998 Jul, 139:1
"We studied the effects of growth hormone (GH)
and insulin-like growth factors (IGFs), alone and
with androgen, on sebaceous epithelial cell
growth...IGF-I was the most potent stimulus
of DNA synthesis. These data are consistent
with the concept that increases in GH and IGF
production contribute in complementary ways to
the increase in sebum production during puberty."
Endocrinology, 1999 Sep, 140:9, 4089-94
