Well that is the question on my mind today. I know I don’t remember the milk man. Do any of you?
As if cows milk is not already unnatural for you to drink. Let’s look into what man has done to milk to make it even more unhealthy and unnatural to drink.
First and foremost the reason we had a milk man was because milk in its’ natural state does not last very long. We had to have it delivered as soon as we could. The milk industry saw this as a pitfall and needed a way to prolong the shelf life of milk in order to increase profit. So they needed a way to be able to bring milk to the stores, to find away to preserve it for an extended period of time. This would allow the sale of more milk to more people.
Homogenization Damages the Arteries.
As humans we seem to be inclined to alter the natural state of things in an effort to squeeze more money from them. We tend to think that we can tinker with nature and get away with it. Most of the time this is done with profit in mind, and often (consciously or not) at the expense of human health.
Before homogenization came into existence you used to have to shake up the milk to get the cream and the milk to mix together. My grandfather stated he could remember skimming the cream from the top of the milk to make ice cream. The problem was that this caused the milk to only last a few days, thus the need for the milkman. So in short, you don’t have the cream “problem” and with homogenization, the milk lasts longer.
So what is the big deal with homogenization and pasteurization?
First and foremost is the fact that man has again stepped in and altered somethings’ natural state. The fact of the matter is this process has created milk with small clusters of molecules that scar your arteries. It then becomes very difficult for your body to process and digest food. This then leads to a plethora of problems such as: constipation, allergies, obesity, heart disease and acid reflux.
If you insist on drinking milk please ensure that it is 100% raw and organic. However, it is my recommendation that you stay away from milk altogether. If we were meant to drink cows milk we would have been born a cow, right? Wait a minute on second thought not even adult cows drink their own milk– only the baby calf. So in reality how natural is it for a human to be drinking anyway? Heck we don’t even drink humans milk past age 1 nowadays. So stick with water, it’s a much better alternative! Stay hydrated. Your body is far more efficient.

I fully agree, leave cows’ milk for the calves!

I am glad you also see it that way. I mean once I really reflected on the fact that no living thing drinks from something other than their mother until a certain age it just made sense. I mean lets think about this for a minute would you as a human go up to a cow and drink milk from it? I just seems like common sense but I know how hard it is to turn your mind into thinking a different way. I drank milk by the gallons per week and loved it. Instead of drinking water after playing sports I drank milk. Instead of drinking pop with my pizza I drank milk. I drank milk with everything.

Great post Brian! With the increase of lactose intolerance it makes
you wonder if peoples bodies are trying to tell them what their
minds should know. I am with you and years ago I switched to
unsweetened almond milk to enjoy in my cereal. Keep up the good
work.

If you think about the structure of the animal, it becomes apparent
that cow milk is not the best of foods for a human— Look at the
HUMUNGOUS bones on cattle. A LOT of calcium to provide a basis and
ongoing maintenance for that skeleton… Hardly the same scale for
the human body…
