Visit www.milksucks.com >> Cow's milk is solely meant to nourish baby calves and not human/boys/girls. It's only us, humans, that continue to start consuming cows milk from inception [Gerber, Nestle, Cow & Gate] with the criminal and unhealthy notion that, our children will maladjust/develop if baby formula or supermarket milk is not forced upon our children. Some of us dumb Africans now fall for this trap, forgetting that, most of us never tasted baby-infant formula, but grew up just as healthy as our western counterparts. I keep telling my friends, the biggest animals on this planet grew up with their mothers milk [not human] and eats plant-based diet, except for the carnivorous family, hence why the over indulgence of milk and meat products we're bombarded with. I'm baffled when I hear women stating that, they wouldn't breast feed their babies for fear of resulting flabby breast. Guess what, instead of flabby breast, flabby babies are the end results.....sorry if I offend any sisters. Please, let's stop feeding your kids with hormone [rBGH] induced cow's milk, Colorful dye [red, blue yellow] soda pops/drinks and hot-dogs with cancer causing and allergenic additives/preservatives. PLEASE TAKE A MINUTE AND READ THE LABEL FOR INGREDIENTS. IF YOU FIND A WORD THAT YOU CAN'T PRONOUNCE OR UNDERSTAND, DON'T BUY THE PRODUCT. A lot of us takes the easy-escape way out with such statements as we will all die one way or the other, but such ignorant and arrogant posture only works for a short period of time, until the DOCTOR tells you to cut down on such crap/junk. Lastly, sisters, if you are on those HORMONAL-IMBALANCE/INTERFERANCE BIRTH CONTROL PILLS, dump them in the trash, read the fine prints and then challenge your Doctor. Seek safe and alternative methods as the never-ending prescribed hormones and antibiotics, are not the solution to the problem, if one exist.
