Taking a break from dairy products can often lead to surprising improvements. Asthmatics, in particular, should give themselves a long vacation from dairy products to see whether their condition improves. Like other products from animals, mammary secretions contain frequent contaminants, from pesticides to drugs. About a third of all milk products are contaminated with antibiotic traces.

Numerous studies have shown that the countries with the highest intake of dairy products also have the highest incidence of osteoporosis, and that consuming large amounts of dairy products simply will not maintain bone density. One out of every five babies suffers from colic. Pediatricians learned long ago that cow's milk was often the reason. We now know that breast feeding mothers can have colicky babies if the mothers are consuming cow's milk. The cow's antibodies can pass through the mother's blood stream into her breast milk and to the baby.
