Welcome back. This weekend, I have the honor of meeting and attending a weekend retreat with Khenpo Karthar Rinpoche, so I will be out of town.
I wanted, however, to share some additional information on dairy before I hit the road.
Since my Post, Got Milk? Well Maybe You Shouldn’t Unless You Are a Baby Cow, I have received many emails and great comments.
One comment that stood out was from nutrion expert and co-author of The Horomone Revolution (you can find it in my bookstore), Kimberly Day in which she expanded upon the information I shared:
“Fantastic post as always! I agree that dairy is no good…for all these reasons and more. First of all, it is highly inflammatory; as you mentioned, it’s one of the most common food allergies. Plus, it’s high saturated fat increases cholesterol, and the artificial hormones worsen estrogen dominance in women.
It also contributes to weight gain. Which makes sense if you think about it. The truth is, cow’s milk is really the breast milk of another mammal and is intended to grow a calf into a 300 to 400 pound animal. Think what it’s doing to you!
Also, dairy is highly addictive…and not just because of the salt and mouth-feel. It has opioid properties. The enzymes that produce opiates are not confined to poppies; they also hide inside cows’ livers. So traces of morphine can pass into the animal’s bloodstream and end up in milk and milk products. These opiates hide inside casein, the main dairy protein. As casein molecules are digested, they break apart to release tiny opiate molecules, called casomorphins. One of these compounds has about one-tenth the opiate strength of morphine.
When you take all this into consideration, it makes sense that breaking free of dairy can be very difficult for many people. But the health benefits are so worth it…”
In addition, author, lecturer and intuitive coach Laura Kowalski shared the following video which sheds further light on this topic. After watching it, be sure to come back and weigh in because I am interested in what everyone has to say:
When it comes to dairy, the writing is on the wall.
Until next time…

Anthony,
Great info both in the text as well as in the superb video!
En eye opener to me even though I know a bit why cow’s milk is bad for human consumption. Together with the sun block / sun shine , this is another great health myth we need to crash for the sake fo having good health.
I’ll alert my friends to read your post here.
Thanks for sharing!

Anthony,
You’re fighting the good fight, but the dark side is strong and has literally millions of dollars to promote their “Got Milk” campaigns. The truth is, for most people, milk should have no part in their lives, except for human mother’s milk when they are children.

Sorry, I looked at the title quickly and didn’t realize it was a new post. I am so sad to hear you say dairy is not good for you. I love dairy products. I buy 2-4 gallons of milk per week. I can’t imagine that it is harming me. I am pretty healthy and I look younger than most of my friends that are the same age. Maybe it only has a negative impact for some people?

Actually there is no morphine in casein, the dairy protien that so many people have an allergy or sensitivity to. The unbroken protiens pass into the bloodstream via leaky gut (google leaky gut syndrome) and thence through the blood-brain barrier and affect brain chemistry in an opioid-like manner. This is NOT the same as opiates per se. She never should have used the word morphine in that little blurb there.
The short of it is that people that have a sensitivity to dairy often crave it; the opioid effect makes them want it so badly that they will forsake all other foods. Children with behavior problems or learning difficulties often have food sensitivities –usually gluten or dairy– and nobody even realizes it. Their brains are addicted to the opioids; their behavior is only a symptom of that. Take them off dairy first, expect a withdrawal. The casein is out of their bodies quickly, like in three days or so. Glutamates are harder–up to eight weeks.
Very interesting information. Is this true of ANY milk, including milk from cows that have NOT been shot up with hormones?
