True, my comments were about cow's milk, not human milk. That actually strengthens the argument against dairy. The nutritional differences of human breast milk and dairy are significant. "Milk from cows and goats is quite different in composition than human breast milk and, therefore, should not be fed to human infants. Human milk, which is designed specifically for promoting infant health, is much lower in protein, calcium, and sodium, and higher in mono- and polyunsaturated fats, carbohydrates, folate, and vitamin C." (source: http://www.nutritionmd.org/nutrition_tips/nutrition_tips_infant_nutrition/breastfeeding_milks.html) And of course, cows wean themselves off cows milk, so the idea that we should be consuming the milk of another mammal, and doing so as adults, is silly and not health promoting. |
I'll continue to eat dairy myself.
