Did you know cows are the number one contributors of air pollution? Did you know of all the mammals, humans are the only ones who continue to drink milk beyond childhood? Recent studies have shown that milk may not be as healthy as we thought or even necessary to drink. Considering it is originally intended for young calves to drink and help them gain weight. Studies have shown that it can clog arteries, reduce your iron intake, increase your chance of obesity and a recent Harvard study of seventy-eight thousand women found that women who consumed the most dairy products over a twelve-year period broke more bones then those who consumed fewer dairy products. Which just happens to be the opposite message of the million dollar dairy industry. Now doctors are stressing that you try and switch to soy or rice products. As this will not only help the environment but improve your health as well.
