The same applies to the phytoestrogen one. My apologies...

i see your points there and indeed, there ...Hi all,<br />i see your points there and indeed, there is always a risk with any food, whether it be hormone injection on some cows, or genetic modification in certain soy cultivars. What we could do, i think, is not avoiding all foods altogether, but having them in moderation AND CAMPAIGNING AGAINST THE USE OF CHEMICALS OR POTENTIALLY HARMFUL SUBSTANCES on our nutritious food supply. (i personally don't really believe that the GM soy is really bad, although i'm not a big fan of it).<br /><br />Contrary to popular belief, <b>soy does not contain much calcium in itself.</b> The calcium in soy milk comes from fortification. As for green veggies: even if they contain a lot of calcium, most of it cannot be absorbed because it is bound to oxalate and phytate. It might be true that people who consume a lot of dairy products have bad bones, but probably the main reason is not the dairy product itself. I think it is either of (or a combination of) the following: <b>excessive</b> intake of dairy, the lack of vitamin K from green veggies, lack of phytoestrogen from soy products, lack of weight-bearing exercise, etc...herminnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13473599.post-46265487659024344242011-10-03T16:36:49.205+11:002011-10-03T16:36:49.205+11:00Yes, read The China Study by T, Colin Campbell Pro...Yes, read The China Study by T, Colin Campbell Profesor Emeritus of Cornell University (not Berkeley). Or read Forks over Knives (link in the recipes section of this newsletter). <br />You will become convinced that a whole food plant-based diet without any dairy products is the route to good health. The diet he recommends is low GI because it includes whole grains, pulses, fruit and vegetables; it avoids animal protein, refined carbohydrates and processed oils.Frances Onoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13473599.post-8907901003084584812011-10-02T16:21:53.366+11:002011-10-02T16:21:53.366+11:00Have you read The China Study by T Colin Campbell ...Have you read The China Study by T Colin Campbell (for 40 years head of Research at Berkley University) I suggest that recommending Dairy Products to reduce risk of Breast Cancer is fallacious. Who did the research that indicates that? In The China Study there is recounted research that indicates that dairy products produce bad bones and is involved in Prostate Cancer,Auto Immune diseases and Type 1 Diabetes. The China Study is peer reviewed medical research.David Bannermannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13473599.post-89875084781954488502011-10-01T20:49:46.338+10:002011-10-01T20:49:46.338+10:00I might be barking up the wrong tree here but sure...I might be barking up the wrong tree here but surely the quantity of artificial hormones fed to cows to keep them producing milk long after giving birth must affect the consumers.<br />Are men who consume large quantities of cows milk more liable to get moobs (man boobs)?<br />The hormones on their own are scary enough but theres also the pus cells from mastitis infections (again through excessive milking) and the antiboiotics administered to combat this and other infections. These must surely affect the balance within the human body.<br /><br />Vegetarian sources of calcium are easily available (eg soya products and vegetables) but you only mention dairy in the article.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
