What Else is in That Bowl of Milk and Cereal? The Truth About Your Milk
Milk is pasteurized.
When milk is pasteurized, it is heated to a temperature that kills off the majority of bacteria that could exist in an unpasteurized milk. However, pasteurization also destroys good bacteria (probiotics), vitamins and minerals. For this reason, we usually see milk on the shelves of our grocers exclaiming: "Fortified with Vitamin ___". This is because, the majority of vitamins and minerals were destroyed during the heating process, and the milk industry needs to add something back to the milk, in order to make it "nutritional."
In addition to this, milk is almost always fortified with Vitamin A, in the form of retinoid. Retinoid is derived from animal sources and has been linked to bone fractures. Do not get me wrong; Vitamin A has many wonderful characteristics. However, Vitamin A, in the form of retinoid, does not. Carrots, on the other hand, contain beta-carotene, which is wonderful and friendly source of Vitamin A. Vitamin A, that has been derived from a plant source, is essential to our well-being.
What else are you pouring into your cereal bowl? I will not even attempt to touch upon the mistreatment of animals raised for milk, meat and eggs. However, I will say, it is NEVER a good idea to buy or ingest dairy products that are inorganic. Why? Unless you are running down the street to your local farmer, "Big Food" Milk Manufacturers are producing milk that are swimming with antibiotics, hormones, potential chemicals, etc.
Ever pick up antibiotic, vitamin or supplement container and see where it says: "Warning, do not use if pregnant or nursing..."? This is because the food, minerals, chemicals and toxins that we ingest, while pregnant and nursing, are the same "nutrients" that will ultimately be used to nourish the offspring being nursed.
This same rule applies to our dear friend, Bessie. Big Food gives her antibiotics to stay alive, in a harsh and overcrowded living environment, and hormones- so that she will able to keep producing more and more milk... and guess what goes into that milk that your pouring into your cereal? Yikes!
While antibiotics can have a number of debilitating affects, including killing off good bacteria, hormones interrupt the normal function of the body. For those women that have been on any type of hormonal pill, you know that is has the ability to change the way your body functions and your mood, swings. Hormones are not something you want to be pouring into your cereal.
dditionally, Milk is highly congesting. As aforementioned, in a previous article, due to milk's potent casein levels, it is extraordinarily difficult to digest. Because of this, the body reacts and creates high levels of mucous. Individuals suffering from consistent sinus infections or asthma related illnesses should NEVER touch milk with a ten-foot pole. Milk will help exacerbate the issue by aggravating the mucous membranes and creating more mucous. Not fun. Not cool. Not good for easy breathing.
Decreasing dairy in your diet does not mean that you have to give up the tastes that you love. Heck! If I had to do that, I would be one unhappy camper. Instead... I get creative in the kitchen. It is amazing the results when real ingredients are involved.

The Hazards of Feeding Soy to Children
Do you feed your baby something besides breast milk? Does it contain soy or Soy Protein Isolate (SPI)? Isoflavones in these soy milk replacers are a serious reason for concern. Approximately 25% of bottle-fed children in the United States receive soy-based formula.
Feeding soy milk replacer began in the 1970's. By 1998, investigators reported that the daily exposure of infants to isoflavones in soy infant formula is six to eleven times higher on a body-weight basis than the dose that has hormonal effects in adults consuming soy foods. Circulating concentrations of isoflavones in infants fed soy-based formula were 13,000 to 22,000 times higher than plasma estradiol concentrations than infants fed cow's milk formula.
Would you feed your baby birth control pills? One researcher estimated that an infant exclusively fed soy formula receives the estrogenic equivalent (based on body weight) of at least five birth control pills per day. Almost no phytoestrogens have been detected in dairy-based infant formula or in human milk, even when the mother consumes soy products. So, what does this do to our children? Read the list below and be concerned if your child is showing any of these signs and symptoms.
In children, soy anecdotes have included:
o Asthma
o Changed patterns of sexual orientation (influenced by the early hormonal environment)
o Extreme emotional behavior
o Immune system problems
o Impairment of spatial perception
o Infantile leukemia
o Irritable bowel
o Learning disabilities--especially in male children
o Pituitary insufficiency
o Precociousness--Male infants undergo a "testosterone surge" during the first few months of life, where testosterone levels may be as high as those of an adult male.
o Thyroid disorders
o Visual discrimination tasks required for reading
Can't have dairy? There are options. Other combinations of formulas that may take a bit more time to make for your baby include mixtures of carrot juice, oat milk, almond milk, goat and rice milk.
If the mother is large-breasted, it also helps to use a breast pump, complete the milking process and combine all three fractions of milk. If the baby only gets the first fraction, which is more watery and has less protein, it makes the baby gassy. Also, if the mother eats lots of raw fruits and vegetables, she will have lots of milk and the milk will be healthier for the baby. I've personally seen a midwife adopt a newborn baby, take milk-producing herbs, and nurse the baby herself for a year using her own breasts! Herbs can be very powerful when you know which ones to use.
Other purists recommend raw, unpasteurized milk, saying that the baby will not be allergic to this since the proteins within the milk have not been modified from the pasteurizing process or from using microwave ovens. You will have to make your own decisions and choices with this (know your source!) as this type of milk is hard to obtain and can be contaminated with Salmonella bacteria if not handled and processed properly. There is nothing wrong with visiting the farm and taking a look at their cleanliness habits and the rooms they process the milk in.
The new Ultra Pasteurized Milks and products that have been microwaved are another issue totally. Ultra Pasteurized milk has been implicated in Crohn's disease and the body cannot process some or most protein that has been microwaved. Heat any milk replacer over a burner to be safe. I do not advocate either of these options either. But, that's for another day.
