Soda May Be Better
Than Another School Sanctioned Drink
Milk may be more harmful to African Americans.
EspreeNet News Service
Syracuse, NY (ENet News) - There are many articles published about the effects of milk on people of color and none of them are good.
Dairy products have very negative, life threatening (in some cases), long term effect on the worlds population of people of color. According to one article, medical research showed that you are likely to be plagued by anemia, migraine, bloating, gas, indigestion, asthma, prostate cancer, and a host of allergies as a result of milk.
So why are so many people concerned about soda in schools? Maybe we should be looking at milk.
An article titled White Poison ColorLines by Shanti Rangwani says, milk is a racial issue, because almost 90 percent of African Americans and most Latinos, Asians, and Southern Europeans lack the genes necessary to digest lactose, the primary sugar in milk. To call lactose intolerance an "allergy" is to take a white-centric view that trivializes the fact that most of the world's people are not biologically designed to digest milk.
Here are some facts according to that article and the website notmilk.com:
Most of milk's much-vaunted protein is contained in casein- which is also a raw material for commercial glue. Undigested, it simply sticks to the intestinal walls and blocks nutrient absorption.
There is also a direct link between milk consumption and prostate cancer among African Americans, who have the highest incidence of this disease in the world.
Harvard studies show an increase in osteoporosis and bone-breakage in people who consume milk.
Saturated fat constitutes 55 percent of milk solids.
Sixty percent of ear infections in kids under six years of age are milk-induced, and milk consumption is the number one cause of iron-deficiency anemia in infants today according to the American Association of Pediatrics.
With that being said, soda probably shouldn't be the first drink banned from schools.
