We are the only mammals besides cats who drink milk after infancy. The odd thing is that after infancy, instead of continuing drinking our others milk, we drink cow milk.
On milksucks.com it tells you how keeping your bones strong are easier than you think, and milk isn’t required to do the job. In fact, there is an article on why milk and dairy products WON’T help you maintain healthy bones.
Got Breast Cancer? Milksucks.com says this:
Consuming dairy products is linked to an increased risk for breast cancer because dairy products are high in fat, animal protein, and hormones, each of which increases cancer risk. Since the 1980’s, study after study has linked dairy consumption to a high incidence of breast and other cancers. Women seeking to minimize their chances of breast cancer should avoid milk, other dairy products, and meat."
What about heart disease?
Milksucks.com says: Since the early 1970s, study after study after study has implicated cow’s milk and other dairy products as a cause of heart disease and clogged arteries. One researcher, Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn from the Cleveland Clinic (the top-rated heart clinic in the U.S.), makes people "heart attack-proof" by putting them on a vegan diet (check out his groundbreaking paper in the American Journal of Cardiology, August 99).

Do you or your teens have acne?
Will drinking milk make you greasy, grimy, and pimply? Some doctors suspect that the fat, animal protein, sugar, and hormones in milk irritate the skin, causing break-outs.

Dr. Jerome K. Fisher conducted a clinical study of 1,088 teen-age patients over 10 years and reported to the American Dermatological Association that milk was a principal contributor to some patients’ acne. Dr. Fisher found that their acne tapered off as their milk consumption did.

Are your kids sick?

Cow’s milk is the number one source of allergies in children, and research links consumption of dairy products, including cow’s milk, to colic (stomach cramps), autism, chronic ear infections, insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (type 1 or "juvenile-onset" diabetes), acne, obesity, flatulence, constipation, mucus, and a variety of other ailments.

So the question is:
Is milk as good as we think it is?

My mom turns 50 this year. She is waking up at night with hot flashes….textbook she calls them. Soaking her nightgown with set…getting feverish….then it comes down ith chills and she is freezing. They make her get headaches and nausea from another planet! She has no prescription drug coverage, and I told her that hormone replacement therapy wasn’t a great option anyway because her mom had breast cancer….and over time HRT can lead/may cause cancer in women. Are there any over the counter herbs or products she could try? She is a great mother and an even better grandma to my son. We have another grandbaby on the way and she is getting depressed because it is really hindering her life. She is embarrassed and out of options. THANK YOU!

My professor said that the cause of a lot of breast cancer in women is their use of bleach and other cleaning products. (They are the gender that does most of the cleaning). I believe it. All those bleach products probably are dangerous carcinogens. I work at a daycare and they make me constantly spray bleach on everything….use it to wipe down the diaper table, spray on all the toys everyday, use it to wipe the table 3 times a day. The worst germ that the kids could get would be the stomach flu or the common cold. The days of infectious disease like smallpox and TB is over…..Now they risk getting cancer form all the bleach..myself included.

Thoughts?

So I am a Mary Kay Beauty Consultant. In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month, I decided that 10% of the sales I make Sept and Oct will go to our Cancer foundation. I am looking for places to advertise this and maybe have drawings to get ladies to enter their names if they are interested in our products. I already thought of Curves but another MK lady is there… where else do a lot of women go? Otherwise do you have ideas of how I could raise a lot of money these next couple months?

I am 29 years old. About 2 weeks ago my breast started to hurt a little, and now it is more prominent. I at first found a small little pea size lump, now its bigger and my breast feels engorged. I am 99% sure that its not pregnancy because I have had my tubes tied, cut, and burnt. The pain is on the outside of my right breast and it hurts to touch it. In comparison to my left breast it is bigger. I have never had any breast pain during or before my menstrual cycle. I do go to see my OBGYN on Wed. but not sure what she will say or do. My step-mom had stage 3 breast cancer and in the beginning she was told it was just fibrous and no need for alarm and then less than a year later she found out she was at stage 3 and lost her breast. I just don’t want that to happen to me because i am only 29 and not even at the age where it should even be a worry.
As far as a cancer gene, no, there is not one my "step-mom" is the one that had the cancer. A new bra has already been tried, even no bra.
And I do have a lump its quite large, but didn’t start out that way.
