Today we move into the second half of our top ten myths about the nutruitional value of cow’s milk. Today’s myth…..
Milk Builds Strong Bones. We need it to Fight Osteoporosis.
In reality, dairy products are the number one cause of osteoporosis. Yes, other contributors are tobacco, alcohol, caffeine, soft drinks, salt, antacids, and lack of exercise, but the major cause is dairy products.
Yes, cow’s milk does have calcium, but it also has casein protein, which is impossible for our digestive systems to handle, so we end up with excess. Amino acids try to break down the casein protein. It gets metabolized in the liver, and travels through the kidneys.
If that excess protein would just leave our bodies via the urine, I suppose all would be well, but it doesn’t do that. Clinging to it on its way out are large amounts of minerals, among them being calcium. Here’s the catch; the more animal protein you consume, the more calcium you lose.
Osteoporosis has been studied worldwide and the correlation holds true. Countries with higher consumption of dairy products also have higher reports of osteoporosis.
Stop the Cycle
You can stop the cycle of flushing calcium out of your body by changing the type of protein you consume. The protein in soybean is a complete protein and digestable. Soy is also very high in calcium.
Tomorrow…more on calcium…. Back to Day 5.
