Obama promotes Milk to stop Obesity?

Date: 2010-03-02
Nutrition expert Michelle Obama (that's irony, by the way) blames the Obesity epidemic on the consumption of soda and other sweets. Another great post from the purveyor of bad news about dairy, the NotMilkMan.
From the Chicago Sun Times, 1st March 2010, a piece by Lewis Lazare, apparently without irony.
The iconic "Got Milk?" milk mustache campaign is officially on board as a supporter of first lady Michelle Obama's recently unveiled effort to fight childhood obesity -- a project dubbed "Let's Move!"
In a new print ad debuting today, the "Got Milk?" effort encourages all readers to raise a glass of milk and toast Mrs. Obama's new project, designed to help families make healthier lifestyle and nutrition choices.
The new "Got Milk?" ad contains no image of the first lady herself, lest she appear to be using her elevated position for inappropriate commercial purposes. A "Got Milk?" spokeswoman said the first lady was never approached about appearing in the new print ad.

When I (the NotMilkMan) was in college America had no obesity epidemic. The year was 1973. We drank plenty of soda in those days.
During 1973, the average Americ
- 1 pound of fructose corn syrup (1,448 calories)
- 70 pounds of sugar (122,873 calories)
- 10 pounds of cheese (18,276 calories)
In 2010, the average American will eat:
- 43 pounds of fructose (82,205 calories)
- 46 pounds of sugar (80,747 calories)
- 32 pounds of cheese (58,435 calories)
No obesity epidemic in 1973.
Humongous obesity epidemic in 2010.
In 1973, the average American consumed 124,221 calories from corn syrup and sugar. In 2010, that per capita consumption will increase by 18,724 calories. That translates into a weight gain of 5.35 pounds per year.
In 1973, the average American consumed 18,276 calories from cheese. In 2010, that number will increase to 58,435 calories.
That represents an additional 40,159 calories plus additional growth hormones which instruct human cells to grow. That translates into a yearly weight gain of 11.47 pounds.
Today, New York Yankees superstar Alex Rodriguez will be interviewed by the F.B.I. for possible growth hormone use. That same growth hormone (IGF-1) which is the subject of the federal investagation saturates organic dairy products. Professional athletes spend 5 hours per day or more in the gym making their muscles grow while taking such hormones. Professional students spend five hours per day sitting on the couch watching their tummies and rear ends grow.
It takes 3,500 calories to build make one pound of your body.
If you want lose one pound, you must burn 3,500 calories. You could do so by playing ping pong for 12 hours, or making love for 93 hours, or working out in the gym until you melt into a puddle, or, you could eat less food than your body requires. That is the easiest way to lose weight.
Let the truth be known to Michelle Obama. Soda and sweets are not the cause of obesity.
Got cheese? Got obesity!

Breast Cancer - Just Stop Drinking Milk!
Everyone should know that most cancer research is largely a fraud, and that the major cancer research organizations are derelict in their duties to the people who support them."
- Linus Pauling
Another great post, as usual, by our friend the NotMilkMan. Some information to get you wanting more and then the research that has found evidence backing a non-dairy diet to prevent cancer.
A February 16, 2009 visit to the Susan Komen website reveals that YOPLAIT YOGURT is a member of Komen's "Million Dollar Council Elite" and the "National Presenting Sponsor" of the Komen organization.
YOPLAIT is there at every Susan Komen walk and event to distribute complimentary portions of breast cancer fuel (yogurt) for those women who ignorantly donate their time and dollars to a self perpetuating organization of doom.
Faced with scientific evidence linking dairy consumption to breast cancer, who in their right mind would purchase yogurt to prevent breast cancer? American women, that's who.
Dairy - is that why you're depressed?
Thanks to the NotMilkMan, on the money as pretty much always.

- Are you irritable?

A February 10, 2010 press release cites a study in which "a child's sweet tooth" can lead to depression and alcohol use in adult life. See:
www.monell.org/news/news_releases/sweets_kids
There's medical support that a child's love for milk America's (and the UK's, thanks Cadbury, wait for the lawsuit) most frequently consumed candy "treats" (milk chocolate) might lead to depression. What's in milk and milk chocolate?
Imagine starting your day with an estrogen pill, followed by progesterone, prolactin, melatonin, oxytocin, and 50+ other hormones including gastrointestinal peptides and hypothalamic hormones.
If you consume dairy products you are doing exactly that.
It is no wonder that the Townsend Medical Letter noted the following in May of 1995:
In reality, cow's milk, especially processed cow's milk, has been linked to a variety of health problems, including: mucous production, hemoglobin loss, childhood diabetes, heart disease, atherosclerosis, arthritis, kidney stones, MOOD SWINGS, DEPRESSION, IRRITABILITY, allergies."
Welcome back to the world of emotional stability with NOTMILK!

Consumption of milk and dairy products represents the consumption of liquid proteins from the most abused of farm animals. Dairy cows in the UK suffers the pain of being separated from her mother at birth. Dairy cows in the UK suffer the pain of having their sensitive horn buds removed. Most creatures receive no anaesthesia or post surgical pain killers. Every cow being milked suffers the ultimate indignity and pain of slaughter when she is uneconomic for the farmer. The March, 2010 issue of the British Journal of Nutrition (Mar;103(5):714-23) contains a study which was designed to assess the association between protein consumption and bone mass accrual (BMC) in a 5-year study of 757 pre-pubescent Chinese girls (average age = 10.1 years). The authors conclude: "When protein intake was considered according to animal or plant food sources, protein from animal foods, particularly meat, had significant negative effects on BMC accrual..."
