In Reply To: For your absurd misstatement about allergies? Asthma is up, but some of that is due to elevated ozone levels in congested areas during summer months. So much of what you say is baseless it's hard to know where to begin, so I won't. Somehow, I don't see any biology, chemistry, statistics, or nutrition in your background. Or spelling, for that matter. Low fat milk IS, for the overwhelming percentage of the population healthy and good. I've got the National Academy of Sciences Committees on Food Safety and Nutrition, the UN World Health Organization and Agricultural Organization, every land grant College of Agriculture, and virtually every nutrition dept and university school of public health (like those of Harvard, Yale, and Michigan) on my side. The scientific literature simply does not support what you say. The epidemiological data on cancer and endocrine-related pathology simply does not support what you say. It's a non-story, but feel free to take a shot at it.
Message: I thinks its great that listed those organiztions as "on your side"(whatever that means?). Are we to met in the streets snapping our fingers in sync as we prepare for the big rumble? Could you site this "literature"? Could you provide me with a link to this "data"? In a "UK Independent" article it was revealed in a monsanto study that: "Rats fed on a diet rich in genetically modified corn developed abnormalities to iternal organs and changes to their blood, raising fears that human health could be affected by eating GM food" These health issues were absent from the group that ate non-gm food. Studies like this were the basis for the European Union's decision to ban GM food. Looks like I have Europe on "my side". "Milk from rbGH-treated cows contains an increased amount of the hormone IGF-1, which is one of the highest risk factors associated with breast and prostate cancer, among others"
