Food substitutes
You may be
certainly wandering why substitute dairy. Do you know that animal fat
is recognized as a factor in the cause of heart and artery disease?
This recognition has created the need for substituting dairy products
with wholesome and appetizing replacements that supply the nutrients
readily available in dairy products. Only animal products contain
cholesterol. Milk increases body cholesterol and other blood
fats.
The great increase in disease in cattle is also a
major concern. Leukemia in dairy cattle is rampant. One of the most
troublesome microorganisms in milk is that of cancer virus particles.
Cancer viruses are excreted into the milk from the bloodstream of the
affected animal.
Milk sensitivity is the most common food allergy
in America. Sixty percent of Americans are allergic to milk.
The excessive protein in cow's milk depletes the
human skeleton of calcium and actually weakens bones. Compare the
protein, calcium and sodium in human milk and dairy milk. Cow's milk is
the perfect food for calves, but it's not ideal for humans.

Many foods supply the nutritional elements found
in dairy milk. Such common foods as greens, legumes (beans and peas)
and whole grains furnish an abundance of calcium and riboflavin, the
two nutrients commonly associated with milk. In China, they are
naturally on a dairy free diet. Green leafy
vegetables routinely replace milk, and soybeans take the place of meat
in the diet.
