Q. "What about milk? I love it and it's good for everyone, especially children."
A. Milk is NOT good for you. The high numbers of humans who are lactose intolerant tells us that we are not meant to drink milk or eat cheese, and that our mothers' breast "milk" is as much dairy as we're supposed to have. Even those of us who can digest dairy products with no problem are still getting way too much fat, cholesterol, and calories from milk.
Cow's milk is designed to take a tiny calf and grow it to a huge cow in a matter of months. Humans have no such need for that -- no one wants to grow a child who weighs hundreds of pounds. When people get rid of dairy in their diets, their cholesterol, blood pressure, weight, and risk of stroke, heart attack, and cancer all go way down.
Commercially-produced milk also contains steroids, antibiotics, and a variety of other chemicals, all of which pass from the cows to the people who drink the milk. The steroids alone are a big part of the reason human girls now go through puberty at much earlier ages -- and this early onset of puberty is directly linked to a higher risk of breast cancer.
