"In addition to the above, unless you buy organic milk, the milk you're drinking is tainted with recombinant bovine growth hormone (rBGH), antibiotics, and other chemicals. Most countries (Canada, Japan, New Zealand, Australia, and all twenty-five nations of the European Union) have banned rBGH because of its known detrimental effect on health. 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." - Jay Gordon, The ADD and ADHD Cure: The Natural Way to Treat Hyperactivity and Refocus Your Child (Get the book.)

"Even organic milk can come from pregnant cows?jacking up hormone levels.2* I helped Maureen change her diet, cut out the sugar and caffeine, eliminate her food allergens, take a few supplements and herbs, do a little exercise, and within one menstrual cycle her life changed. All her symptoms resolved, she lost weight and dramatically increased her energy. Her mood stabilized (meaning her depression evaporated), and her acne and dry skin went away. All without medication. The approach I take to this problem is part of the overall approach of Functional Medicine." - Mark Hyman MD, The UltraMind Solution: Fix Your Broken Brain by Healing Your Body First (Get the book.)

"And research at the University of Aberdeen in Scotland and at the Institute of Grassland and Environmental Research (IGER) at Aberystwyth, Wales, showed that organic milk contains between 71 percent and a whopping 240 percent more omega-3s than nonorganic milk, plus it has a much better ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 fats than conventional milk. This is probably because the pasture-fed cows graze on a diet rich in red clover silage as well as their natural diet of grasses." - Jonny Bowden, Ph.D., C.N.S., The 150 Healthiest Foods on Earth: The Surprising, Unbiased Truth About What You Should Eat and Why (Get the book.)

"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.)

"Burger ran experiments with raw, organic milk, including goat's milk, which is easier for people to digest than cow's milk. He and his wife even milked the goats by hand themselves to assure its natural quality. Members of his family alternated monthly periods of drinking and abstaining from milk in order to avoid confusing possible causes of any symptoms in the body. Without fail, the milk drinkers experienced faintness, sunken eyes, weakness, diarrhea, bad breath, coated tongues (indicating phlegm build-up), greasy hair, moodiness and infections appearing in minor cuts." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.)

"I love the flavor of coffee with freshly steamed, organic milk, so I went out of my way to purchase a coffee maker that has a built-in steamer. I steam the milk until it is hot and frothy and I pour the coffee and steamed milk into a huge mug. I add a little organic or raw sugar and I sprinkle on some cinnamon and, voila: fresh, hot Cafe au lait with my morning paper. It may not sound like much, but that little routine has me looking forward to every new day. Another great way to treat yourself is to have a massage on a regular basis." - Craig Pepin-Donat, The Big Fat Health and Fitness Lie (Get the book.)

Once you have let go of animal foods and have adopted a vegan diet, then you may find the transition to more and more raw foods easier. 7. The body feels a shake up and discomfort with a sudden change in diet." - David Wolfe, The Sunfood Diet Success System (Get the book.)

"The dairy department will likely have organic milk, cream, and other products. As always, scrutinize the labels of any packaged food to avoid unwanted ingredients.

The selections may be varied, exotic, and full of interesting flavors, but don't ever assume anything about ingredients. Make it a habit to read food labels." - Jack Challem, Stop Prediabetes Now: The Ultimate Plan to Lose Weight and Prevent Diabetes (Get the book.)

A diet rich in these foods—especially the first two—will help a great deal with constipation. • Make sure you're getting 30 or more grams of fiber each day in your food and supplements. • Repopulate the colon with "good" bacteria—live probiotics, including L. acidophilus and B. bifidus strains—with each meal or once a day for six weeks. • Drink eight 8-ounce glasses of water each day." - Hyla Cass, M.D., Supplement Your Prescription: What Your Doctor Doesn't Know About Nutrition (Get the book.)

"All served organic milk, and half ran on renewable energy. All newly built sites use piping made with recycled material. The McDonald's in Sweden recycled 97 percent of its solid waste.40 One McDonald's in that country sells biodiesel made from the cooking oil used for their fries. So why don't we get organic ice cream and all-natural beef at McDonald's in the United States? Because we're slobs, and we don't care. We just keep getting fat on the chemical beef and corn that we're being fed while our health declines rapidly after age fifty." - David Steinman, Safe Trip to Eden: Ten Steps to Save Planet Earth from the Global Warming Meltdown (Get the book.)

"If you like milk, buy organic milk from well-treated cows. Keep in mind not all "organic" milk is produced in a quality manner. Consumers need to inquire and be informed about the specific production methods of companies whose food they regularly purchase. Carbohydrate bashing has taken its toll on the grain industry, although they were thrown a dog bone while being scolded for creating disease. The government still says it is okay to get half your grains from their disease-producing refined carbohydrates." - Byron J. Richards, The Leptin Diet: How Fit Is Your Fat? (Get the book.)

"During the same period, there were many instances of contamination in pasteurized milk, some of which resulted in death. Raw organic milk is hard to find—only a couple of states sell it (California is one). But more and more people are turning to small farms and collectives (at this writing, there are nearly forty such farms licensed to sell raw milk in Pennsylvania alone). It's worth looking for.
