The Calcium Dairy Lie

The longer a lie is promoted, the more readily it is
received. Dairy lies have continued for generations.

Milk and dairy consumption does not prevent hip fractures.
Scientific studies prove that the opposite is true. If you
seek a recipe for your own future osteoporosis, drink
plenty of milk and become a Wisconsin cheesehead.

A publication in the February, 2003 issue of the American
Journal of Clinical Nutrition (Vol. 77, No. 2, 504-511)
clearly demonstrates that eighteen years of milk consumption
did not prevent hip fractures for post-menopausal women.

How many subjects participated in the study?

A mere 72,337. As part of Walter Willett's Harvard Nurses
Study, investigator Diane Feskanich performed statistical
tests of significance for 18 years of data including dietary
intake of calcium (dairy and supplements) to determine her
findings.

The conclusion reached from this observational analyses, is
that dietary calcium plays little or no role in preventing
bone loss. Drinking milk does not prevent osteoporosis. A
total of 603 hip fractures were analyzed. Scientists
determined that milk consumption was in no way associated
with hip fracture risk. The same conclusion was reached for
total calcium consumption.

The Harvard Nurses study previously determined that there is
no positive association between teenaged milk consumption
and the risk of adult fractures. (American Journal of Public
Health 1997;87). As a matter of fact, just the opposite was
found to be true. Women consuming greater amounts of calcium
from dairy foods suffered significantly increased risks of
hip fractures.

In light of these findings, the dairy industry milk mustache
campaign has been proven to be one enormous deception. Bones
break because women eating the wrong foods create an acid
condition in their own bloodstreams, which must be
neutralized by available calcium. The body achieves balance
by taking calcium out of its own bones. Ergo, people eating
the greatest amount of total animal protein are the ones
experiencing accelerated rates of bone loss. The same
Journal of Clinical Nutrition, (1995; 61, 4) confirmed this
truth:

"Dietary protein increases production of acid in the blood
which can be neutralized by calcium mobilized from the
skeleton."

Eighteen years earlier, as the Harvard Nurses study was just
beginning, the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition
(1979;32,4) reported:

"Even when eating 1,400 mg of calcium daily, one can lose up
to 4% of his or her bone mass each year while consuming a
high-protein diet."

Why do you imagine that these same scientific studies have
not be publicized in magazines or reported on TV news,
or headlined in your local newspaper? Because truth lacks
one critical ingredient. Cash. For a story to be released,
it must often be accompanied by paid dairy industry advertising.
In this deceptively dangerous manner, most of us receive our
biased and compromised health information.

Milk? It does not do the body good.
