"Even if you are buying organic milk and only eating organic dairy products, there is this to consider: milk comes from cows and was created by Mother Nature for baby cows. By drinking their mothers' milk and processing it with their four stomachs, calves double their body weight in only forty-seven days and usually live very short lives. It's no wonder that our bodies treat milk like an alien substance. In most people, dairy intolerance and gluten sensitivity cause mild discomfort. The effects on kids with ADD/ADHD are worse and simply not worth it." - Jay Gordon, The ADD and ADHD Cure: The Natural Way to Treat Hyperactivity and Refocus Your Child (Get the book.)

"END BOX] Organics Emerge As Safe Alternatives Since the early 1990s, there has been steady global growth in the sales of certified organic ingredients and products, with particular growth in organic dairy, soya, and grain food products.()(6) This environmental- and consumer-driven growth now includes certified organic cosmetics and personal care products both in the United States and globally. From 2002 to 2004, new organic products more than doubled, from 350 to 840, while all-natural products nearly tripled, from 615 to 1,475 (7)." - Samuel S.

"Although organic production comprises a measly 1 percent or so of dairy farms and cows in the United States —not enough to bother anyone, you might think—the organic dairy industry predicts a 15 percent annual growth rate through 2008. Growth figures like those are enough to make any conventional food producer take notice. Looked at another way, the numbers of organically raised cows are rising rapidly. In the early 1990s, only 2,000 cows produced organic milk in the United States; a decade later, there were more than 50,000. organic dairy foods brought in $1." - Marion Nestle, What to Eat (Get the book.) "Such critics have undoubtedly noticed that organic dairy foods are the fastest-growing segment of that industry. Although organic production comprises a measly 1 percent or so of dairy farms and cows in the United States —not enough to bother anyone, you might think—the organic dairy industry predicts a 15 percent annual growth rate through 2008. Growth figures like those are enough to make any conventional food producer take notice.

"These include the best-known brands: Aurora organic dairy, and three owned by Dean Foods (Horizon Organic, Organic Cow of Vermont and Alta Dena), which, the Institute estimates, have a 60 to 70 percent share of the market." - Samuel S.

"Horizon produced about 20 percent of its milk from a fairly large four thousand-cow organic dairy in Paul, Idaho, as well as some 305 family farms. Although the Paul, Idaho, farm was small in comparison with other super factory dairy farms, it was still large, and its animal husbandry practices appeared to blur the line between factory farms and ideally humane organic farms—at least according to its critics." - David Steinman, Safe Trip to Eden: Ten Steps to Save Planet Earth from the Global Warming Meltdown (Get the book.)

"The Institute sent a survey by certified mail to known marketers of organic dairy products in the U.S. The survey was based on 19 questions about the care and feeding of their cows. Using the producers' answers, the Institute ranked more than 65 brands, with 18 receiving the highest rating, from 1,150 to 1,200 points. Among those are the milk from Castle Rock Organic Farm in Osseo, Wis.; the yogurt from Seven Stars in Phoenixville, Pa.; and the milk from Evans Farmhouse Creamery in Norwich, NY. Seventeen brands received from 965 to 1,140 points." - Samuel S.

This will help many smaller family dairies to stay in business. www.horizonorganic." - David Steinman, Safe Trip to Eden: Ten Steps to Save Planet Earth from the Global Warming Meltdown (Get the book.)

"With chapters on genetic modification, organic dairy, and everything in between, Lipson goes beyond simply explaining the benefits of organic food, to provide a plethora of resources for further reading on the organic-food movement. In her words: "If there is one thing the reader should take away, it is that we all have the power to create change that is felt at the highest levels. We do it with our choices every day and by sticking with those choices over the long haul." - Alex Steffen, Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century (Get the book.) "Opposite, left: organic dairy farmer, Farmington Township, Minnesota, 2005. Opposite, right: Fisherman hauling in his catch, Newport, Rhode Island, 2001. In 1995 the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization developed a code of conduct for fisheries, which has since been widely recognized, fostering the formation of the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC). This international nonprofit has worked to establish a universal certification and labeling process." - Alex Steffen, Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century (Get the book.)

"Raw, organic, dairy products may be used to fulfill the fat category of The Sunfood Triangle for people with weak fat metabolisms or in need of vitamin B12. Raw organic dairy products may also benefit those who have become deficient in alkaline minerals (calcium, magnesium, etc.) from not consuming enough whole green-leafed vegetables and/or who are experiencing a lack of excellent intestinal flora. The karma of raw dairy products is neutral, if the milk is freely given." - David Wolfe, The Sunfood Diet Success System (Get the book.)

"Such information on the Posilac label is clearly inconsistent with Hudson's criticism of "happier cow" claims by organic dairy farmers. Also contrary to Hudson, rBGH milk differs qualitatively and quantitatively from natural milk. Fat levels, particularly long chain saturated fatty acids incriminated in heart disease, are increased, while levels of a thyroid hormone enzyme are increased." - Samuel S. Epstein, M.D., What's In Your Milk?: An Exposé of Industry and Government Cover-Up on the Dangers of the Genetically Engineered (rBGH) Milk You're Drinking (Get the book.) "This campaign is also aimed at preventing organic dairy farmers and retailers from making "false or misleading claims to be hormone-free, (and) nutritional and animal welfare perceptions, such as happier cows." Responding to Hudson's complaints, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced that it will take action against such misleading marketing practices. However, contrary to Hudson, there is a wealth of scientific information on the toxic veterinary effects of rBGH, major differences between rBGH and natural milk, and cancer risks posed by rBGH milk." - Samuel S.

"This is why you must, absolutely always consume 100 percent organic dairy products—ideally, dairy products that are also unpasteurized and unhomogenized. Consider also how irradiated food is killing us. This process alters the flavor, decreases nutrients, and raises the cost. It eliminates most germs, but some salmonella, hepatitis, and mad cow disease still remain. In animals it causes hemorrhage from muscle tears, heart damage, testes tumors, and changes in genes and reproductive cells. Formaldehyde, cancer-causing benzene, and mold toxins form because of irradiation." - Kevin Trudeau, More Natural Cures Revealed: Previously Censored Brand Name Products That Cure Disease (Get the book.)

"Organic Valley As a producer of quality certified organic dairy and meat products, Organic Valley stands for quality and strongly supports sustainable and humane treatment of animals, particularly for its producers of not only beef but also hogs and dairy as well. The company stood up to retailing giant Wal-Mart and did not succumb to the giant's pressures to reduce pricing if it would have required them to dilute their product. Many people choose Organic Valley because of its outspoken commitment to small family farms—besides great taste. www.organicvalley." - David Steinman, Safe Trip to Eden: Ten Steps to Save Planet Earth from the Global Warming Meltdown (Get the book.)

"Choose a product that is cold processed, comes from pesticide- and hormone-free certified organic dairy cattle, and contains no less than 15% immunoglobulins. For greater protection, select a product that is standardized to contain 40% IgG, an important immunoglobulin that neutralizes toxins. Since products differ according to manufacturer, follow the label advice for brand-specific dosages. Lactoferrin: An abundant protein component of colostrum, lactoferrin binds to iron in the body and makes it less available. Iron is necessary for life because it helps carry oxygen in the blood." - J. E. Williams, Beating the Flu: The Natural Prescription for Surviving Pandemic Influenza and Bird Flu (Get the book.)

"In the early 1990s, only 2,000 cows produced organic milk in the United States; a decade later, there were more than 50,000. organic dairy foods brought in $1.4 billion in sales in 2003, but that figure was 20 percent higher than in the previous year. To obtain a Certified Organic seal, milk must be taken from cows that are given organic feed and allowed access to pasture, outdoor air and sunlight, shade, and shelter (the meaning of "access," however, is subject to interpretation)." - Marion Nestle, What to Eat (Get the book.) "The lingering doubts are one reason why organic milk seems so appealing, and why the largest organic dairy, Horizon Organic, proclaims on its milk cartons, "Produced WITHOUT the use of ANTIBIOTICS, added GROWTH HORMONES and DANGEROUS PESTICIDES." Horizon's Web site similarly boasts that "Our cows are treated with respect and dignity, fed a certified organic, vegetarian diet and never given growth hormones or antibiotics. . . Together we change the world —one organic acre at a time." - Marion Nestle, What to Eat (Get the book.)

"Although you should, of course, steer clear of foods to which you are sensitive or allergic, if you are not lactose intolerant, you can include milk and dairy products such as yogurt and cheese, although we recommend that you choose organic dairy products only. In fact, we don't even want you to avoid oils and fats, although we do recommend that you confine yourself to healthy fats and oils, and that you eat those only in moderation. Excellent food sources for these healthy fats include avocados, nuts, olives, seeds, and wheat germ." - Shari Lieberman, Alan Xenakis, Mineral Miracle: Stopping Cartilage Loss & Inflammation Naturally (Get the book.)

"They eat organic dairy and produce whenever possible. If they eat meat, they prefer naturally raised beef and free range poultry. In the flipped world, people have insulated their homes and conserve energy and water resources as much as possible. They drive hybrid vehicles or cars with high MPG ratings and use mass transit where available. They read books and magazines and visit websites that feed their soul and honor their spirit. They are selective about the media that feeds their head, mindful that they needn't overstimulate their brains with detrimental, chaotic information. .... . • . ." - David H. Rippe, Jared Rosen, The Flip: Turn Your World Around (Get the book.)

"When Wal-Mart demanded another 20 percent price cut in the company's pricing structure for its organic dairy products, well, a 20 percent cut can be hard for a company. Simeon decided his dairy cooperative could only provide the kind of pricing the retail leviathan was demanding if they diluted the integrity of their organic milk by crowding animals and feeding them more grains than pasture grass. "Wal-Mart allows you to really build market share," Simeon told the New York Times. "But we're about our values and being able to sustain our farmers." - David Steinman, Safe Trip to Eden: Ten Steps to Save Planet Earth from the Global Warming Meltdown (Get the book.)

"To avoid products from cows treated with recombinant bovine growth hormone (rBGH), buy organic dairy products. Goat's Milk In the United States, goat's milk is thought of as an alternative to cow's milk, but in most areas of the world, the opposite is true. But on a global level, more people drink goat's milk than cow's milk. Most people assume that goat's milk has the same potent musky taste for which goat cheese is notorious. The truth is that good-quality goat's milk has a delicious, slightly sweet, and sometimes slightly salty taste." - Michael Murray, N.D. and Joseph Pizzorno, N.D., The Encyclopedia of Healing Foods (Get the book.)

"However, it's difficult to avoid BGH unless you buy organic dairy and beef because the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not require labeling of BGH-laced products, despite surveys showing that the majority of consumers favor labeling. Again, the only way to be sure you are not ingesting BGH is to buy organic dairy products and beef. Pasteurization In the pasteurization process, milk is heated at high temperatures—much higher than necessary to kill bacteria. In the process, all the enzymes are destroyed." - Lita Lee, Lisa Turner and Burton Goldberg, The Enzyme Cure: How Plant Enzymes Can Help You Relieve 36 Health Problems (Get the book.)

"Then choose organic dairy products that have no hormones. Shop for beans, whole-grain products, and brown rice. Replace herbs and spices that are more than 6 months old and purchase extra-virgin olive oil and macadamia nut oil. Fifth, plan your exercise strategy. Make a list of the workplace exercises you plan to use and purchase any exercise videos that appeal to you from the resources section. If you go to a gym, find a personal trainer whose goals for you are consistent with what we recommend." - Vincent Giampapa, Ronald Pero, and Marcia Zimmerman, The Anti-Aging Solution: 5 Simple Steps to Looking and Feeling Young (Get the book.)

"The bottom line is pasteurized and homogenized dairy products are unnatural; raw 100% organic dairy products are natural. Organic, raw, natural dairy products are natural. Remember Jack LaLane said, "If man made it, don't eat it." When you eat fish you are only slightly better off. Many kinds of fish are "farmed," meaning that highly toxic feed and chemicals are used to make the fish grow unnaturally fast to unnaturally large sizes. Other poisonous chemicals are used in the processing of the fish before sale to consumers." - Kevin Trudeau, Natural Cures They Don't Want You to Know About (Get the book.)

"To avoid cows treated with recombinant bovine growth hormone (rBGH), buy organic dairy products. Cheese Cheese, a concentrated dairy food made from milk, is defined as the fresh or matured product obtained by draining the whey (moisture or serum of original milk) after the coagulation of casein, the major milk protein. The basic art of cheese making has changed little over the course of its history. Milk is coagulated to produce curd by the separate or combined action of lactic acid (produced by the breakdown of lactose by selected microorganisms) and coagulating enzymes." - Michael Murray, N.D. and Joseph Pizzorno, N.D., The Encyclopedia of Healing Foods (Get the book.)
