By Jane Sheppard Multiple Health Problems from Milk People are beginning to question the long-standing belief that cow s milk is the perfect food for children.
Studies now link the consumption of cow s milk to multiple health problems.
The long list includes iron-deficiency anemia, gastrointestinal bleeding, cramps, chronic diarrhea, chronic nasal congestion, allergies, asthma, colic, rheumatoid arthritis, musculoskeletal pains, kidney disease, diabetes and heart disease. Milk and other dairy products may actually be harmful to a child s health. This may sound a bit shocking to some people. This is understandable when you look at the advertising practices and political pressure of the American Dairy Association. They spend hundreds of millions of dollars to convince us that if we don t drink milk, we would be calcium deficient and sickly.
