I posted a blog a couple months ago about eating a healthy breakfast – Click here to check it out. In this blog I briefly mentioned that you should limit (or eliminate) dairy. Milk and cheese should be avoided – unless it’s raw organic (in this case it is not pasteurized). I’ve listed some of the terrible side effects associated with pasteurization.
Effects of milk pasteurization:
- Kills beneficial enzymes including phosphate, which allows the body to absorb calcium from the milk
- Destroys colloidal minerals, which are essential to absorb nutrients the milk would otherwise provide
- Precipitates minerals that cannot be absorbed by the body, contributing to osteoporosis
- Precipitates sugars that cannot be digested and fats that toxic
- Destroys beneficial bacteria and lactic acids that help to protect your body against disease
- Diminishes the cortisone-like factor in the milk that would otherwise help combat allergies
- Destroys vitamins B12 and B16
- Promotes other pathogens in the milk
- Contributes to allergies, osteoporosis, arthritis, heart disease, cancer, tooth decay, colic, disorders of the female reproductive system, and weakened immune system.
