 In this way, instead of being considered true foods, as they are in the East, soy proteins are used as minor ingredients in a host of other assorted foods, such as hamburgers, sausages, milk products, breads, pastries, and cookies.
These foods, typical of those eaten in the West, contain in general very small amounts of isoflavones, since they are made with protein concentrates that come from the industrial processing of soybeans (extraction with petroleum-based solvents, high-temperature processing, washing with alcohol-based solutions). |

 If the theory turns out to be correct, it suggests that avoiding cow's milk products, at least during the first several months of life, could greatly reduce the likelihood of developing this disease.
Needless to say, breastfeeding instead of feeding formula poses no risks for children. Quite the opposite: Breastfed babies gain many advantages, including better overall health and even a few extra IQ points, compared to their formula-fed counterparts. And the most healthful breastfeeding is done when mothers follow a diet free of foods that can harm their babies. |

 It may be necessary to remove milk and milk products from the diet because of a secondary lactase deficiency. (See lactose intolerance in Part Two.)
Q Vitamin K deficiency caused by celiac disease may lead to a hypoprothrombinemia (a lack of clotting factors in the blood). "Friendly" bacteria in the intestines manufacture one form of vitamin K; another is present in certain foods, especially leafy greens, alfalfa, tomatoes, strawberries, whole grains, and yogurt. |
| Milk and milk products are the only foods derived from animals that contain carbohydrates.
Carbohydrates are divided into two groups—simple carbohydrates and complex carbohydrates. Simple carbohydrates, sometimes called simple sugars, include fructose (fruit sugar), sucrose (table sugar), and lactose (milk sugar), as well as several other sugars. Fruits are one of the richest natural sources of simple carbohydrates. Complex carbohydrates are also made up of sugars, but the sugar molecules are strung together to form longer, more complex chains. Complex carbohydrates include fiber and starches. |
| Eat frequent small meals; include well-cooked millet, well-cooked rice, raw goat's milk, and soured milk products such as yogurt, cottage cheese, and kefir. Drink barley, wheat, and alfalfa juice. They contain chlorophyll, making them potent anti-ulcer treatments.
Q If you have a bleeding ulcer, consume organic baby foods or steamed vegetables blended in a blender or mashed. Add nonirritating fiber such as guar gum and/or psyllium seed. These foods are easy to digest and nutritious, and they contain no chemicals.
Q For rapid relief of pain, drink a large glass of water. |

 Milk Products
For people who can digest milk products, natural, unsweetened yogurt is a good source of high-quality protein. It also contains lots of vitamins and good bacteria. The good bacteria in yogurt keep the intestinal tract healthy and help prevent the growth of toxic bacteria and toxic yeasts such as Candida. Of course, people who are allergic to dairy products should not take yogurt.
Cheeses are also a good source of protein. Freshly prepared cheeses are easier to digest and, in my opinion, are more wholesome than aged cheeses. Some people cannot digest cow's milk easily. |

 Animal products are the most offensive dietary sources of internal stink by far, and milk products produce the greatest funk of all.
The more animal products you consume, the more toxic fumes you're going to emit from your armpits (and other regions). Most people believe a lot of misinformation about body odor; they think the body just naturally stinks and that body odor is just a result of bacteria growth in your armpits. This is utterly false. The body doesn't just naturally stink. |

 The human body should never be exposed to mercury, PCBs or the rocket fuel chemicals that are now almost universally found in cows' milk products across the country (in a 2005 Texas Tech University study, perchlorate was detected in 46 of 47 store-bought samples of cows' milk across 11 states).
The second (and more important) reason processed meats are so strongly correlated with cancer is, I believe, the continued use of a cancer-promoting additive called sodium nitrite.
This ingredient, which sounds harmless, is actually highly carcinogenic once it enters the human digestive system. |

 If they can call that natural, and if the food giants can call their deep-fried potato chips natural, and if soy cheese manufacturers can put cow's milk products in their soy products and call them natural, then there's really no meaning to the term.
Technically speaking, I could dig up some mercury, lead, arsenic and other toxic substances from the soil, stuff them into a tofu recipe, and sell it as a "100% natural" product. Why? Because it's all derived from the Earth! It's natural, see?
That's why the word "natural" is, essentially, a marketing term for suckers. |

| Do not leave foods such as mayonnaise, salad dressing, and milk products at room temperature or, worse, out in the sun. Be especially careful at picnics and cookouts.
• Do not give honey to a young baby. This can lead to infant botulism, in which botulinal spores colonize the digestive tract and produce botulin toxin there. Honey is safe for babies after age one.
• Mold commonly grows on spoiled food products. |

| Because the body's lactase production slacks off gradually, many people do not make the connection between their digestive symptoms and milk products.
In about 85 percent of Caucasians, a genetic mutation causes the lactase enzyme to persist well into adulthood. Even so, lactose intolerance will eventually affect many of them, too. Deleting dairy products from the menu for a few days will show you whether you are among them.
Some adults have trouble digesting table sugar (sucrose). Once again, it is easy to check. Simply set it aside for a few days and see if your symptoms improve. |

Julia Ross The Diet Cure milk and other dairy products are a staple food that we can't live without. Through relentless advertising and marketing campaigns disguised as educational in nature, they have been successful in creating a cultural climate that upholds milk and dairy products as nourishing wonder foods that if excluded from the diet will result in physical calamity. However, this simply is not true. |

| If you are lactose intolerant — can't digest milk products -you may come up short since you are less likely to get vitamin D from dairy foods.
• Vitamin D is a fat soluble vitamin. That means if you suffer from a condition that limits your ability to absorb fat — like liver disease, Crohn's disease, sprue, and others - you won't get enough D.
Learn how to mend a deficiency. If you need more vitamin D, here's what to do.
• Eat more cold-water fish like salmon, sardines, and herring.
• Eat more D-fortified foods such as ready-to-eat cereals, and milk and other dairy products. |

 What I'm interested in talking about here is—at the very least—the need for us to keep pushing for labeling of milk and milk products that come from cows injected with the bioengineered hormone. We have until Monday, March 14—when the "public comment" period runs out—to make our opinions on labeling known to the FDA. Cows are being injected with rBGH as we speak, so you'll want to know if your milk—or cheese, ice cream, butter, beef—is from creatures unluckily enough to be stuck behind their shoulders or on their rears with a potentially dangerous drug. |

| Limit red meat, butter, and whole milk products. This helps not only your blood pressure, but your all-around heart health.
Alcohol. Drink only in moderation. Large amounts of alcohol can wreak havoc on your blood pressure. Men should have no more than two drinks a day. And for women, no more than one drink a day.
Licorice. This treat plays tricks on your blood pressure. Because of an ingredient called glycyrrhizic acid, licorice causes your body to retain sodium and fluids and lose potassium. Fortunately, only real licorice has this effect. |

| People who quite rightly avoid sodas and other sugary drinks because of their sugar content will want to be aware that milk products are a major source of sugar, too.
Lactose, of course, is the sugar that causes digestive upset for many people. Lactose intolerance is a normal condition that occurs when the enzymes that allow babies to digest mother's milk naturally start to dissipate. When these enzymes are gone, lactose passes through the intestinal tract undigested. In the lower intestinal tract, bacteria start to ferment the sugar, causing gas, cramps, and diarrhea. |

| If food intolerances continue for any period of time, or if milk products are cut from the diet, the levels of vitamins B2 (riboflavin), B3 (niacin), D, iron, and calcium can get very low, consequently any multivitamin and mineral supplement taken needs to contain adequate levels of these nutrients. Probiotics can also improve the bacterial balance of the bowel, making it less inflamed.

Cream Products
Half-and-half is a mixture of milk and cream containing not less than 10.5 percent milk fat but less than 18 percent milk fat. It is pasteurized or ultrapasteurized and may be homogenized. It is similar to milk in color, with a richer flavor and slightly thicker texture.
Light cream, also called coffee cream or table cream, contains not less than 18% milk fat but less than 30 percent milk fat. It is pasteurized or ultrapasteurized and may be homogenized. |
| These milk products are similar to buttermilk and the thickness increases with higher fat content.
Acidified sour half-and-halfresults from the souring of half-and-half with safe and suitable acidifiers, with or without the addition of lactic acid-producing bacteria. Federal standards (milk fat content) for this product are the same as those for sour half-and-half. Acidified sour half-and-half is similar to buttermilk.
Concentrated milks are made by the partial removal of water from fluid milk. These products are pasteurized and may be homogenized and/or fortified with vitamin D. |
| Milk and milk products from goats and sheep tend to be lower in fat and cholesterol than milk from cows.
Cow's Milk
Cow's milk, whether poured over breakfast cereal, used to dip cookies in, or enjoyed on its own, has become a staple of the American diet. Many different types of milk and dairy products are available.
Types of Milk
Whole milk contains not less than 3.25 percent milk fat and 8.25 percent nonfat solids. The addition of vitamins A and D is optional. If vitamin A is added, it must be present at a level of not less than 2,000 International Units (IU) per quart. |
