Poisoned milk from stores causes psychosis many people Dr. Weeks’ Comments (https://bit.ly/3Kj5XCq): Dairy is soul food makes you feel good (temporarily, think ice cream to help celebrate your birthday) but it is NOT good for you. It does not help build anything aside from disease and obesity. (This is especially true of the industrial grade, bovine growth hormone stimulated toxic liquid fed to 99% of milk drinkers and cheese eaters in the world who do not consume organic dairy). Recent research links dairy with depression. “…In reality, cow’s milk, especially processed cow’s milk, has been linked to a variety of health problems, including…mood swings, depression, irritability and allergies…” “The term clinical depression finds its way into too many conversations these days. One has a sense that a catastrophe has occurred in the psychic landscape.” Leonard Cohen Has this psychic catastrophe rate doubled since 1970? On their website, the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) reports that an estimated 26.2 percent of Americans over the age of 18 suffers from a “diagnosable mental disorder” each year. The rate of clinical depression has more than doubled since 1970 when just one out of eight Americans experienced bouts of clinical depression. So too has the per capita rate of cheese consumption. Is this a coincidence, or is there a scientific explanation linking milk and cheese consumption to mood swings, depression, and irritability? The July-August, 2013 issue of Nutrition will contain a study linking milk and dairy consumption to depression. A group of Australian researchers (Meyer, et. al.) examined data from 10,986 adults participating in the Australian National Nutrition and Health Survey. Their results indicate that those persons with high intake of vegetables or meat or poultry have lower odds of depression, while those consuming high amounts of dairy products have increased probability of suffering from depression. Notmilk has previously reported a milk consumption/ depression link, citing a May, 1995 column written by Julie Klotter, M.D., and published in the Townsend Medical Letter. Dr. Klotter reported: “In reality, cow’s milk, especially processed cow’s milk, has been linked to a variety of health problems, including…mood swings, depression, irritability and allergies.” In 1970, we had no such phrase as “road rage.” In 1970, America was safe from terrorism and daily headlines of mass murder, and not even the most evil killers targeted innocent children. In 1970, one-half of American adults were as clinically depressed as adults living in America 43 years later. In 1970, the average American consumed ten pounds of cheese per year. In 2013, the average American will consume 42-pounds of hormone-rich cheese. Those naturally occurring cow hormones include casomorphin, an opiate related to attention deficit and autism. Milk hormones also include: PITUITARY HORMONES (PRL, GH, TSH, FSH, LH, ACTH Oxytocin) STEROID HORMONES (Estradiol, Estriol, Progesterone, Testosterone, 17-Ketosteroids, Corticosterone, Vitamin D) HYPOTHALAMIC HORMONES (TRH, LHRH, Somatostatin, PRL-inhibiting factor, PRL-releasing factor, GnRH, GRH) GASTROINTESTINAL PEPTIDES (Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide, Bombesin, Cholecystokinin,Gastrin, Gastrin Inhibitory Peptide, Pancreatic Peptide, Y Peptide, Substance P, Neurotensin) Today’s column should provide a source of depression for America’s dairy farmers. Future prediction: In order to counter today’s Notmilk column, the dairy industry will finance a future study which will be published in the International Journal of Marine Mollusks proving that cheese consumption by oysters will make a bivalve happy as a clam (https://bit.ly/3xVA2pa).
