Got Osteoporosis?
from Bruce Friedrich - BruceF@PETA-Online.org
The following just went up on www.MilkSucks.com
re: milk and osteoporosis. The link is easier on the eyes and has some
quotes that I've moved to the bottom of this page.
http://milksucks.com/osteo.html
"The myth that osteoporosis is caused by
calcium deficiency was created
to sell dairy products and calcium supplements. There's no truth to it.
American women are among the biggest consumers of calcium in the world,
and they still have one of the highest levels of osteoporosis in the world.
And eating even more dairy products and calcium supplements is not
going to change that fact."
~ Dr. John McDougall, The McDougall Program for Women (2000)
Osteoporosis is a debilitating disease characterized by low bone mass and
deteriorating bone tissue that affects tens of millions of Americans and causes
1.5 million fractures annually. The annual cost of treatment totals more than
$10 billion. While some people suffering from osteoporosis experience recurring
back pain, loss of height, and spinal deformities, many don't even know they
have the disease until a bone fracture occurs.
According to the National Osteoporosis Foundation, one in two women over the
age of 50, and one in eight men, will experience an osteoporosis-related
fracture.
The dairy industry has a powerful hold on the nutrition industry in this
country; it pays huge numbers of dietitians, doctors, and researchers to push
dairy, spending more than $300 million annually, just at the national level, to
retain a market for its products. The dairy industry has infiltrated schools,
bought off sports stars, celebrities, and politicians, pushing all the while an
agenda based on profit, rather than public health.
Dr. Walter Willett, a veteran nutrition researcher at the Harvard School of
Public Health, says that calcium consumption "has become like a religious
crusade," overshadowing true preventive measures such as physical
exercise. To hear the dairy industry tell it, if you consume three
glasses of milk daily, your bones will be stronger, and you can rest safely
knowing that osteoporosis is not in your future.
Despite the dairy industry funding study after study to try to prove its
claims, Dr. John McDougall, upon examining all the available nutritional
studies and evidence, concludes: "The primary cause of osteoporosis is the
high-protein diet most Americans consume today. As one leading researcher in
this area said, '[E]ating a high-protein diet is like pouring acid rain on your
bones.'" Remarkably enough, if dairy has any effect, both clinical and
population evidence strongly implicate dairy in causing, rather than
preventing, osteoporosis. That the dairy industry would lull unsuspecting women
and children into complacency by telling them, essentially, drink more milk and
your bones will be fine, may make good business sense, but it does the public a
grave disservice.
Most of the world's peoples do not consume cow's milk, and yet most of the
world does not experience the high rates of osteoporosis found in the
West. In Asian countries, for example,
where consumption of dairy foods is low (and where women tend to be thin and
small-boned, universally accepted risk factors for osteoporosis), fracture
rates are much lower than they are in the United States and in Scandinavian
countries, where consumption of dairy products is considerably higher.
But don't take our word for it; examine the science for yourself:
One study, funded by the National Dairy Council, involved giving a group of
postmenopausal women three 8-ounce glasses of skim milk per day for two years
and comparing their bones to those of a control group of women not given the
milk. The dairy group consumed 1,400 mg of calcium per day
and lost bone at twice the rate of the control group. According to the
researchers, "This may have been due to the average 30 percent increase in
protein intake during milk supplementation ... The adverse effect of increases
in protein intake on calcium balance has been reported from several
laboratories, including our own" (they then cite 10 other studies).
Says McDougall, "Needless to say, this finding did not reach the six
o'clock news."
After looking at 34 published studies in 16 countries, researchers at Yale
University found that countries with the highest rates of osteoporosis
"including the United States, Sweden, and Finland" are those in which
people consume the most meat, milk, and other animal foods. This study also
showed that African Americans, who consume, on average, more than 1,000 mg of
calcium per day, are nine times more likely to experience hip fractures than
are South African blacks, whose daily calcium intake is only 196 mg. Says
McDougall, "[O]n a nation-by-nation basis, people who consume the most
calcium have the weakest bones and the highest rates of osteoporosis. ... Only
in those places where calcium and
protein are eaten in relatively high quantities does a deficiency of bone
calcium exist, due to an excess of animal protein."
Harvard University's landmark Nurses Health Study, which followed 78,000 women
over a 12-year period, found that the women who consumed the most calcium from
dairy foods broke more bones than those who rarely drank milk.
Summarizing this study, the Lunar Osteoporosis Update (November 1997)
explained: "This increased risk of hip fracture was associated with dairy
calcium." If this were any agent other than milk, which has been so
aggressively marketed by dairy interests, it undoubtedly would be considered a
major risk factor."
A National Institutes of Health study out of the University of California,
published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition (2001), found that
"Women who ate most of their protein from animal sources had three times
the rate of bone loss and 3.7 times the rate of hip fractures of women who
ate most of their protein from vegetable sources." Even though the
researchers adjusted "for everything we could think of that might
otherwise explain the relationship - it didn't change the results." The
study's conclusion: "[A]n increase in vegetable protein intake and a
decrease in animal protein intake may decrease bone loss and the risk of hip
fracture."
Another study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition (2000)
looked at all aspects of diet and bone health and found that high consumption
of fruits and vegetables positively affect bone health and that dairy
consumption did not. Such findings do not surprise nutritional researchers:
According to Dr. Neal Barnard, author of Turn Off the Fat Genes (2001) and
several other books on diet and health, the calcium absorption from vegetables
is as good as or better than that from milk. Calcium absorption
from milk is approximately 30 percent, while figures for broccoli, Brussels
sprouts, mustard greens, turnip greens, kale, and some other leafy green
vegetables range between 40 percent and 64 percent.
After reviewing studies on the link between protein intake and urinary calcium
loss, nutritional researcher Robert P. Heaney found that as consumption of
protein increases, so does the amount of calcium lost in the urine (Journal of
the American Dietetic Association, 1993): "This effect has been documented
in several different study designs for more than 70 years," he writes,
adding, "[T]he net effect is such that if protein intake is doubled
without changing intake of other nutrients, urinary calcium content increases
by about 50 percent."
Researchers from the University of Sydney and Westmead Hospital discovered that
consumption of dairy foods, especially early in life, increases the risk of hip
fractures in old age (American Journal of Epidemiology, 1994).
Finally, an analysis of all research conducted since 1985, published in the
American Journal of Clinical Nutrition (2000), concluded: "If dairy food
intakes confer bone health, one might expect this to have been apparent from
the 57 outcomes, which included randomized, controlled trials and longitudinal
cohort studies involving 645,000 person-years." The researchers go on to
lament that "there have been few carefully designed studies of the effects
of dairy foods on bone health," and then to conclude with
typical scientific reserve that "the body of scientific evidence appears
inadequate to support a recommendation for daily intake of dairy foods to
promote bone health in the general U.S. population."
What we do know is that osteoporosis rates decline markedly as body weight, exercise,
and caloric intake rise. Corroborating the researchers' lament about bad
studies, only three studies have factored caloric intake into the analysis; two
of them found no correlation between dairy intake and osteoporosis. The other
found a positive link; that is, the more milk consumed, the higher the fracture
risk (Harvard Nurses Study, see above).
The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition (2000) study cited above argued that
since we know for certain that total caloric intake and body weight are positively
associated with bone mass, such factors are "particularly important"
in any study of osteoporosis and bone mass.
Is the dairy industry ignoring these factors by design in its clinical studies,
perhaps because dairy consumers tend to be heavier and to consume more calories
than those consuming fewer (or no) dairy products? It is remarkable that the
dairy industry can't get the results it's looking for, since dairy consumption
does tend to make people heavier. Even though dairy researchers ignore this
factor, most studies still show no relationship, and some indicate that milk
causes osteoporosis. If the tendencies of those who consume more dairy to be
heavier and to consume more calories were accounted for, would the studies
indicating no link show, in fact, that dairy intake causes osteoporosis, like
the Harvard School of Public Health study?
That would bring clinical analysis into line with the population
analysis,
which clearly states that increased dairy consumption is linked to increased
risk for osteoporosis.
So what can I do for strong bones? Osteoporosis is a horrible disease,
and although the evidence is strong that dairy consumption doesn't prevent it,
simply eliminating dairy products does not ensure that it won't afflict you. And if, like most people who consume no meat
or dairy, you are slender, you should be sure to put some thought (and effort)
into keeping your bones healthy.
What the evidence does dictate as useful for strong bones is:
* Getting enough vitamin D (if you don't spend any time in the
sun, be sure to take a supplement or eat fortified foods).
* Eliminating animal protein (for a variety of reasons, animal
protein causes severe bone deterioration).
* Limiting alcohol consumption (alcohol is toxic to the cells
that form bones and inhibits the absorption of calcium).
* Limiting salt intake (sodium leaches calcium out of the
bones).
* Not smoking (studies have shown that women who smoke one pack
of cigarettes a day have 5 to 10 percent less bone density at menopause than
nonsmokers).
* Getting plenty of exercise. Studies have concluded that
physical exercise is the key to building strong bones (more important than any
other factor). For example, a study published in the British Medical
Journal, which followed 1,400 men and women over a 15-year period, found that
exercise may be the best protection against hip fractures and that
"reduced intake of dietary calcium does not seem to be a risk
factor." And Penn State University researchers found that bone density is
significantly affected by how much exercise girls get during their teen years,
when 40 to 50 percent of their skeletal mass is developed. Consistent with
previous research, the Penn State study, which was published in Pediatrics
(2000), the journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics, showed that calcium
intake, which ranged from 500 to 1,500 mg per day, has no lasting effect on
bone health. "We (had)
hypothesized that increased calcium intake would result in better adolescent
bone gain. Needless to say, we were surprised to find our hypothesis
refuted," one researcher explained.
Conclusion:
Drinking milk builds dairy producers' profits, but as the above studies show,
it's more likely to harm your bones than to help them. And dairy foods are
linked to all sorts of other problems, including obesity, heart disease and
cancer (including breast cancer and prostate cancer and are likely to be
contaminated with trace levels of antibiotics, hormones, and other chemicals,
including dioxin, one of the most toxic substances known to humans (The
Washington Post reported that "the latest EPA study concludes that people
who consume even small amounts of dioxin in fatty foods and dairy products face
a cancer risk of 1 in 100. They may also develop other problems, such as
attention disorder, learning disabilities, susceptibility to infections and
liver disorders" (April 12, 2001).
Of course, calcium is an essential mineral, and it is possible to have a
calcium deficiency. According to Dr. Neal Barnard, president of the Physicians
Committee for Responsible Medicine, "Milk, in particular, is poor
insurance against bone breaks - the healthiest calcium sources are green leafy
vegetables and legumes. You don't need to eat huge servings of vegetables
or beans to get enough calcium, but do include both in your regular menu
planning. If you are looking for extra calcium, fortified orange, apple, or
grapefruit juices are good choices." For a list of nondairy calcium
sources, see
It makes no more sense for humans to consume the mother's milk of cows than for
us to consume the mother's milk of rats, cats, dogs, giraffes, or any other
mammal. Nature created human mother's milk for baby humans, cow mother's milk
for baby cows, and so on.
The late Dr. Benjamin Spock, in Baby and Child Care (the United States' best
selling book, other than the Bible, over the past 50 years), after recommending
that no one consume cow's milk and cataloging a host of ills associated with
milk consumption (heart disease, cancer, obesity, antibiotic residue, iron
deficiency, asthma, ear infections, skin conditions, stomach aches, bloating,
and diarrhea), concludes: "In nature, animals do not drink milk after
infancy, and that is the normal pattern for humans, too. Children stay in
better calcium balance when their protein comes from plant sources." Dr.
Spock recommends human mother's milk for baby humans, as nature intended.

"It is hard to turn on the television without hearing commercials
suggesting that milk promotes strong bones. The commercials do not point out
that only 30 percent of milk's calcium is absorbed by the body or that osteoporosis
is common among milk drinkers. Nor do they help you correct the real causes
of bone loss."
~ Dr. Neal Barnard
Says Dr. T. Colin Campbell, the world's leading epidemiological researcher in
the field of diet and health, "The dairy folks, ever since the 1920s, have
been enormously successful in cultivating an environment within virtually all
segments of our society - from research and education to public relations
and politics - to have us believing that cow's milk and its products are manna
from heaven. Make no mistake about it; the dairy industry has been virtually in
total control of any and all public health information that ever rises to the
level of public scrutiny."
"The association between the intake of animal protein and fracture rates
appears to be as strong as the association between cigarette smoking and lung
cancer."
~ Dr. T. Colin Campbell
"Milk, it now seems clear, is not the solution to poor bone density. To
the contrary, it's part of the problem."
~ Dr. Charles Attwood

Gorillas and Elephants Being Killed
In Rush For Computer and Cellphone Ore
http://www.npr.org/programs/RE/archives/010502.coltan.html
from Penzelda@aol.com
On Morning Edition, May 2, 2001, Radio
Expeditions investigated a disturbing story discovered by NPR's Alex Chadwick
during his last expedition in northern Congo. While searching for the
mysterious Bili ape with a half-dozen of the world's leading primatologists,
Alex learned of an emerging wildlife crisis in eastern Congo, fueled by the
country's long stalemated civil war -- and by a technology-driven rush for an
obscure ore known as 'coltan:'
Thousands of gorillas and elephants are being killed.
Coltan - a contraction of the actual ore name -- coloumbo-tantalite -- is a
source of the element tantalum -- an essential coating for components of many
modern electronic devices, especially cellphones and computers. In the last 15
months, a growing concern about the availability of tantalum led many
electronic component manufacturers to double and triple their orders for
tantalum supplies. The resulting demand drove the price of ore from about $30 a
pound to more than $400.
Miners rushed into eastern Congo, where the ore can easily be mined with no
more than a shovel. But with the influx, miners are both destroying
gorilla habitat and -- more significantly -- shooting the animals for meat.
A researcher from the Wildlife Conservation Society surveyed part of the area
of principal concern -- the massive Kahuzi-Biega National Park. He found the
elephant population virtually wiped out, and estimated about a 50 percent drop
in the previously fairly healthy eastern lowland gorilla population.
A U.N. panel that spent months studying the situation in eastern Congo has just
released a startlingly frank report condemning the ongoing occupation of the
region by outside troops as well as local rebel bands. The report accuses them
of massive looting of natural resources, and lists coltan as the most prominent
reason for the continuation of the war -- along with gold, diamonds and timber.
Although very few outsiders yet know about coltan and its impact on wildlife,
conservation groups are considering what actions to take. Many think the only
real hope is public pressure to force demands for change from the companies
that are buying coltan and then selling it to electronics manufacturers.
Already some industry groups have issued calls to end purchases of coltan ore
from 'environmentally sensitive areas' of Congo. That's not enough to
satisfy the U.N. panel, however, which recommends a total boycott of Congolese
ore until safeguards can be put in place.

Toxoplasmosis
from - Artemisd123@hotmail.com
Please Give to your Doctor & Pregnant Friends
Please give a copy of this to your doctor to better educate her/him about cats
and pregnant women. Please also give this to any prospective parent who
is considering surrendering their pet because they have been misinformed by
their doctor of the alleged dangers of toxoplasmosis.
"Toxoplasmosis: Don't Let it Bug You"
source - The Spring, 2001 Newsletter of the Animal Welfare League
of Arlington, Virginia
A tearful young woman brings her beloved cat to
the League for adoption. The cat is
playful, affectionate, healthy and loving. Why is she giving him up? Because
she is pregnant, and her doctor has ordered her to get rid of the cat.
The doctor's reason: Cats can carry "goxooplasma gondii," a parasite
that can cause birth defects if the mother contracts the disease. Yes, there is
a risk. What you may not know is that there's just as much of a risk if
you are a gardener or are fond of steak tartar, because toxo can also be
present in soil and raw or undercooked meat.
"The presence of Toxoplasma in human populations is common, but it is not
something to lose sleep over," says Dr. James Richards, DVM, of the
Cornell University College of Veterinary Medicine. An estimated 33 percent of
the U.S. population has already been exposed to toxoplasmosis without even
knowing it. Experts believe that exposure comes much more often from eating
undercooked meat than from living with a cat. In the majority of healthy
people, toxoplasmosis causes nothing but immunity to future exposures.
Getting It
It is actually difficult to contract toxoplasmosis. For one thing, not all cats
carry it. About 50 percent of cats nationwide are thought to have been exposed,
mostly outdoor cats who catch and eat mice or rats. For another, the
transmission of the organism is very tricky. Dr. Lizel Salmon of New Carollton
Veterinary Hospital explains in a recent Sunday "Journal" article:
* The cat must be infected with the toxo organism by eating something infected
with it, most commonly mice or infected raw or undercooked meat.
* The cat must be shedding the organism in its feces, which occurs during a
10-day period ONCE IN A CAT'S LIFETIME.
* The toxo organism must "incubate" in the cat's feces for one to
five days before it is ineffective to humans. That incubation must occur after
the feces leave the cat's body and have access to oxygen (i.e., in the litter
box or in soil).
* The toxo organism must be swallowed by the person being infected.
In other words, when the moon is in the seventh house, and Jupiter aligns with
Mars. Yet the belief that a pregnant woman must give up her cat persists
because many human doctors may not be aware of the exact method of transmission
and how finicky the organism is.
Screening and Prevention
Both humans and cats can be screened for the presence of toxoplasmosis
antibodies. A blood titer reveals if you or your cat has been exposed. Once a
healthy human or feline has been exposed, he is immune to further infection.
Taking precautions against the transmission of toxo is simple:
* Pregnant women ideally should not clean the litter box. Someone else in the
family should scoop the box. If this is not possible, wear disposable latex
gloves and a surgical mask (available at a drugstore) while removing the feces
or cleaning the box, and wash your hands well afterwards.
* Scoop the box daily. The toxo organism has to dry out to become infectious,
so removing feces as soon as possible prevents this from happening.
* Keep your cat indoors so he can't hunt. Feed him high quality commercial cat
food (i.e., without "byproducts"); never raw meat.
* Wear gloves while gardening.
* If your children have a sandbox, keep it covered so that neighborhood cats
can't use it as a litter box.
* Avoid eating raw or undercooked meat, unpasteurized dairy products or raw,
unwashed vegetables. Keep food preparation surfaces clean. Be wary of fast-food
hamburgers; make sure they are thoroughly cooked.
So relax and enjoy the next nine months with your feline snuggled up next to
you.

If I Were a Terrorist
by Robert Cohen
http://www.notmilk.com
If I were a terrorist
Daidle deedle daidle deedle daidle dum
All day long I'd biddy biddy bum
I'd teach the world that death and pain are dumb.
I wouldn't have to work hard
Daidle deedle daidle deedle daidle dum
If life was a biddy biddy bitch
And I had the terrorist's itch
I'd build a big tall slaughterhouse
With a well lit stage
Right in the middle of my town
With thick glass walls and real wooden floors below
There could be one long ramp just going up
With an endless line of cows and pigs and sheep,
And I'd give the world some pictures so they'd
never get to sleep.
I'd fill my yard with chicks
And turkeys and geese and ducks
For the town to see and hear
squawking just as noisily as they can
And each loud quack and cluck
And gobble and honk
Will land like a trumpet on the ear
As I slashed their arteries
you would hear their sounds of fear.
If I were a terrorist
Daidle deedle daidle deedle daidle dum
All day long I'd biddy biddy bum
This year I'd kill ten billion gentle souls.
I wouldn't have to work hard
Daidle deedle daidle deedle daidle dum
If I was a terroristic threat,
I'd kill your dinner, then I'd kill your pet.
If I were a terrorist
Daidle deedle daidle deedle daidle dum
All day long I'd biddy biddy bum
If I were an evil kind of man
I wouldn't have to work hard
Daidle deedel daidle deedle daidle dum
If I wanted a biddy biddy coat
I'd simply slash a knife in a lamb's throat
If I were a terrorist
Daidle deedle daidle deedle daidle dum
Lord who made the lion and the lamb
Imagine killing piggies to eat spam
If I were a terrorist
Daidle deedle daidle deedle daidle dum
All would know that terror sting of death,
Sip gurgling blood with slaughter's final breath.
