New Study Shatters
Milk Myth
For Strong Bones, Kids Need Exercise,
Sunshine And A Dairy-Free Diet
Physicians Committee For Responsible Medicine
3-8-5


WASHINGTON -- In a new scientific review scheduled to appear in the March issue of the peer-reviewed journal, Pediatrics, Cornell-trained nutritionist Amy Joy Lanou, Ph.D., and co-authors show that dairy products do not promote bone health in children and young adults. Physical activity does have a positive impact on bone health, while evidence linking bone health with dairy product consumption is weak, at best.

"Under scientific scrutiny, the support for the milk myth crumbles. This analysis of 58 published studies shows that the evidence on which U.S. dairy intake recommendations are based is scant," says Dr. Lanou, lead author of the study. "A clear majority of the studies we examined for this review found no relationship between dairy or dietary calcium intake and measures of bone health. In the remaining reports, the evidence was sketchy. In some, the effects on bone health were small, and in others, the results were confounded by vitamin D intake from milk fortified with vitamin D. To build strong bones and healthy bodies, children need exercise, sunshine, and a diet rich in fruits and vegetables that helps them maintain a healthy body weight."

The level of dairy product consumption in the United States is among the highest in the world, and yet osteoporosis and fracture rates are also among the highest. This "calcium paradox" was an impetus for the current investigation. "We found no evidence to support the notion that milk is a preferred source of calcium," the authors conclude. Dr. Lanou is nutrition director for the non-profit Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM), and her co-authors are Susan E. Berkow, Ph.D., C.N.S., and Neal D. Barnard, M.D.

- Founded in 1985, the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine is a nonprofit health organization that promotes preventive medicine, especially good nutrition. PCRM also conducts clinical research studies, opposes unethical human experimentation, and promotes alternatives to animal research.

The reason is that they process the good stuff out, and make it bad.

Homogenization is one of the worst things in the world for someone with heart disease possibilities.

Look here for the real deal.

P.S. Raw Milk, from cows that arent's pumped full of hormones, or soy product, is one of the highest nutrition drinks in existence.

You should try the butter that you make at your own house, Mmmm, Mmmmm.

Yeah, I wouldn't mind trying raw milk. As of now, I stay away from milk altogether. Too bad the regular supermarkets don't carry raw. All they have is organic but it is still pasteurized. I hear that even people who are lactose intolerant can drink raw milk with no problems.

You actually make your own butter?

[scottinalaska]

When you come visit Alaska, you can drink all the raw milk you want! I am lactose intolerant, and when I drink it from cartons, EVERYone suffers! Yes, HB, butter is something else when made from that real stuff.
I don't own a cow. I do something productiive and trade for it from someone who has a couple dairy cows. What a concept, eh?

There was a study a few years back compaing American kids who are fed a lot of milk and French kids who had very little milk and as a matter of fact were raised on diluted wine. The results were the French kids had better blood chemistry and were far less to have a problem with obesity.

I bet the wine would help with the hyperactivity that is now called ADD and every kid gets labeled with it so they can promote the pharmaceuticals.

Sadie: Last night South Park had an interesting expose on children, ADD, and the pharmaceutical industry... Often times, the truth is found in the most interesting places.

Wine is a barbiturate. The odd thing about the so called A.D.D. drugs is that they are suppose to be amphetamines. The theory is that they stimulate a part of the brain that is sort of sleeping. Not sure what the truth is really though.

Are the children suffering from A.D.D. or just not interested in what is being said to them?

Saw a documentary on Discovery a few weeks back on how Cocaine and other drugs were introduced.

Seems this whole society became preoccupied with drug use from valum (spelling) to cocaine. All of suburbia U.S.A. 60-70% engaged in prescribed drug use. It began massively from the Nazi war machine where most of their soldiers were high on cocaine.

I'll track down that documentary!

It is no wonder that these are the stongest industries (pharma) in the Nation.

I don't think that 98% of the children need the drugs that are being imposed on parents. One big issue is that these things are being prescribed by "force".

We aught to be talking about that. Its one thing for a parent to make a "so-called" informed decision based on medical advise, but when parents are forced and threaten with the removal of their child, etc.

USA the proverbial "Land of Knod"

[KaosTheory]

Yeah, but people are basically good aren't they?. No one would prescribe a drug that would harm your child.....come on......all it does is help them do better in school.....I hadn't heard about children being forced to take ritelin though. I thought that the parents just went along with the idea thinking the drug would have no bad side effects.

It's no secret that the pharma industry is the biggest drug pusher in the world.

Curing disease is out. Treating disease is how the money is made. AIDS is a good example.

Cocaine was put into Coke a cola and people felt great after drinking it. Frued thought he had discovered a wonder drug. It made his depressed patients feel happy again. When they came back feeling depressed again, he just gave them more. It took a while to see how addictive it was.

Mexican workers chew the leaf only. It gives them the strength to get through the day but I don't think they have the same problem with addiction....not sure.
