Harvard study: Pasteurized milk from industrial dairies linked to cancer

The truth has once again shaken the foundation of the ‘American Tower of Babel’ that is mainstream science, with a new study out of Harvard University showing that pasteurized milk product from factory farms is linked to causing hormone-dependent cancers. It turns out that the concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFO) model of raising cows on factory farms churns out milk with dangerously high levels of estrone sulfate, an estrogen compound linked to testicular, prostate, and breast cancers.



Dr. Ganmaa Davaasambuu, Ph.D., and her colleagues specifically identified “milk from modern dairy farms” as the culprit, referring to large-scale confinement operations where cows are milked 300 days of the year, including while they are pregnant. Compared to raw milk from her native Mongolia, which is extracted only during the first six months after cows have already given birth, pasteurized factory milk was found to contain up to 33 times more estrone sulfate.

Evaluating data from all over the world, Dr. Davaasambuu and her colleagues identified a clear link between consumption of such high-hormone milk, and high rates of hormone-dependent cancers. In other words, contrary to what theU.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention(CDC), theU.S. Department of Agriculture(USDA), and the conventional milk lobby would have you believe, processed milk from factory farms is not a health product, and is directly implicated in causing cancer.

“The milk we drink today is quite unlike the milk our ancestors were drinking” without apparent harm for 2,000 years, Dr. Davaasambuu is quoted as saying in theHarvard University Gazette. “The milk we drink today may not be nature’s perfect food.”

Meanwhile, raw, grass-fed, organic milk from cows milked at the proper times is linked to improving digestion, healing autoimmune disorders, and boosting overall immunity, which can help prevent cancer. Though you will never hear any of this from the mainstream media, all milk is not the same — the way a cow is raised, when it is milked, and how its milk is handled and processed makes all the difference in whether or not the end product promotes health or death.

American government seeks to further perpetuate the lie that all milk is the same with egregious new provisions in 2012 Farm Bill

Of particular concern are new provisions in the 2012 Farm Bill that create even more incentives for farmers to produce the lowest quality, and most health-destroying, type of milk possible. Rather than incentivize grazing cows on pastures, which allows them to feed on grass, a native food that their systems can process, the government would rather incentivize confined factory farming methods that force cows to eat genetically-modified (GM) corn and other feed, which makes them sick.

As it currently stands, the government already provides incentives for farmers to stop pasturing their animals, instead confining them in cages as part of a Total Confinement Dairy Model, aka factory farms. But the 2012 Farm Bill will take this a step further by outlawing “component pricing” for milk, which involves allowing farmers to sell milk with higher protein and butterfat at a higher price.

Allowing farmers to sell higher quality milk at a higher price provides an incentive for them to improve the living conditions on their farms, and milk better cow breeds. But the U.S. government would rather standardize all milk as being the same, and create a system where farmers continue to produce cancer-causing milk from sick cows for the millions of children to drink.

So this is why pasteurized milk is legal.

[tttppp]

Milk is bad for you regardless of how its produced.

Haven't heard this before. Can you explain?

Yes sir.

If you are familiar with chinese traditional medicine, anything from cows or any four legged animals causes heat when you eat. When you get overheated, you can cause many health problems. This is assuming the milk is skim milk. Eating the fat from animals will cause far more problems. You can't just burn off fat from animals. It gets stuck in your system.

Most people are familiar with the term lactose intolerant. What that means is that that particular group of people cannot digest dairy. The people who are not lactose intolerant also have health problems from dairy, but their problems are not from their digestive system.

I'm going to have to disagree with you and say that fat from animals is the BEST source of energy for a human and you are meant to burn it. Also, lactose intolerance is an inability to digest the sugar in milk. Fermented dairy is not a problem as there is no lactose present.

Agreed. I think we've been through this discussion before.... People have been consuming milk (and other animal products) for a very long time. Of course, not everyone has the same blood type and genetic makeup; however, milk is nothing new... chemicals are.

Not at all. The lipid hypothesis is dead and should never have existed in the first place (Ancel Keys was a liar who cherry-picked his data). Animal fat is essential to human health; no healthy traditional society was without it.

Claiming that fat from animals "gets stuck in your system" is laughable unscientific garbage. How would that even happen? Not to mention that skim milk never existed before the 20th century and would have been roundly rejected anytime before the recent low-fat craze.

Real milk is perfectly fine for people who are lactose-tolerant; even lactose-intolerant people can often consume cheese, yogurt, and small amounts of raw milk.

So this is why pasteurized milk is legal.

Because the government says so.

It's also legal to put toxic substances into the water system like - I dunno- fluoride which is nothing more than industrial waste.

It's also legal to grow crops with pesticides that kills all sorts of bugs but is some how safe for humans to ingest.

It's also legal for Bill Gates and Rockefeller to develop GMO seeds (Monsanto) that causes many health problems for humans like sterilization for population control, cancers, etc.

I am not shocked at all by this Harvard study but it does suggest skim milk as estrogen is found in fats. Although, I read some companies fortify their milk with powered skim which isn't necessarily healthy either.
