Man has made the cow a modern factory�a perpetual milk machine. Three thousand years ago, a cow gave approximately 200 pounds of milk in a year.
Today, the modern cow gives more than 15,000 pounds or 75 times as much milk. And this over-production is causing more diseases in cows (as well as humans). In fact, the largest percentage (89%) of cows today have bovine leukemia virus.
God never intended for a cow to give 75 times the amount of milk that it was originally created to give. Milk is a very delicate substance, interrelated to almost every gland and organ of the cow�s body. It was meant as a normal function of the animal in creating life. All of the best elements in its body must be assembled to make milk, so that the calf can have a good start.
Today, we drink unnatural milk. It is produced from a cow misbegotten by selective breeding, by cross-breeding, and/or by artificial insemination. The milk is taken from diseased cows, from bloated milk bags, and/or from heavy, chemicalized feedings often loaded with antibiotics and hormones.
If you believe that you are getting antibiotics only when they are prescribed by your doctor, consider this: incredibly, about half of the nation�s entire antibiotic output, or over $70 million worth yearly, goes not directly to humans, but into feed stuff for animals intended for human consumption, to make them gain weight faster and to keep them (supposedly) disease free.
Every sip of milk has 59 different powerful hormones. Which hormones do you want your family to consume�estrogen, progesterone or prolactin?
OTHER STRANGE ADDITIVES!
The dairy industry adds animal products (sheep skin) to every carton of milk (in the form of vitamin D3) and may soon be adding processed raw fish organs. Dairy processors are about to get approval to add fish oil to cheese, yogurt, milk, and ice cream.
