At the present time, milk is a processed food. Milk is pasteurized, homogenized and has antibiotics and hormones as well as other substances that are fed to the cow. I strongly advise everybody to limit consumption of milk products.
Cows pass along these foreign substances into the milk we drink. I have even heard of cases where people have gone into anaphylactic shock from drinking milk in which the cow was treated with penicillin, and the person was allergic to penicillin.
Most milk products are poorly digested by our body being that we do not have the proper enzymes to digest milk products. By nature, milk is created by cows to feed a calf, not a human. Of all mammals, humans are the only ones that drink milk after infancy. And believe it or not, there are more people on Earth that do not drink milk than there are that do drink milk.
There are some health concerns when eating milk products. Some of these health concerns include mucous formations that slow down the lymph system, allergies and intestinal dysbiosis (poor flora in the intestinal tract) – especially those that take in large amounts of dairy products.
Even organic milk, which by law has to be pasteurized and homogenized, is to some extent a processed food. Unless you live on an Omish farm, it is very difficult to come across natural milk. And even then, our enzymatic abilities do no allow us to properly digest any cow’s milk. It’s even better to use goat’s milk or sheep’s milk which is more absorbable to the human body. In conclusion, I am not for the major consumption of milk, although drinking milk in small amounts should not be detrimental to most.
