Milk Revealed As Main Cause Of Osteoporosis in New Book



It had been thought for many years that calcium in milk makes bones stronger, but new research shows osteoporosis is caused by a lack of bone-making cells rather than a lack of calcium, said Russell Eaton, author of the Milk Imperative.

Dairy milk is singled out as the culprit because more than any other food it depletes the finite reserve of bone-making cells in the body. Although milk makes bones stronger in the short term, in the long term it erodes bone-making cells, increasing the risk of osteoporosis. This explains why countries with the highest rates of milk consumption, such as Ireland, Austria, and Holland, also have the highest incidence of osteoporosis.

Growing evidence is showing that far from protecting bones, milk actually causes osteoporosis. For example in a 12-year Harvard study of 78,000 women, those who drank milk three times a day actually broke more bones than women who rarely drank milk. Similarly, a 1994 study in Sydney, Australia, showed that higher dairy product consumption increased fracture risk: those with the highest dairy consumption had double the risk of hip fracture compared to those with the lowest consumption.

"Dairy milk does increase bone density in the short term, but this comes at a terrible price," said author Russell Eaton. "Every time you consume milk you erode bone-making cells, increasing the risk of osteoporosis. The latest research also shows that people with osteoporosis also have a much higher incidence of heart disease and cancer, and the evidence is pointing at milk as the common factor. For example, it was thought that prostate cancer was caused by harmful fats in the diet, but it turns out that calcium in milk is the culprit because it feeds nanobacteria, and this in turn causes calcification and cancer in the prostate."

Research shows that harmful calcification, caused by nanobacteria in the body, is at the root of many diseases such as arthritis, kidney stones, heart disease and stroke. These microscopic organisms, which are present in virtually everybody, get fed calcium and phosphorus from the bloodstream and then secrete calcium phosphate to cause harmful calcification. The book explains how dairy milk is the main food source for nanobacteria, thus causing many serious diseases.

"The Milk Imperative breaks new ground by bringing together the latest findings on dairy milk that turn many preconceptions on their head - by simply switching from dairy to non-dairy milk we will make a dramatic and long-lasting improvement to our health," said Dr. Amy Lanou, Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, United States.
