What's wrong with dairy?

Dairy is the second most dangerous substance we can put in our bodies.

We are told that milk is the perfect food and that it is needed for calcium. We are NOT told that the pasteurizing of milk (heating it to 160 degrees or higher) changes the calcium to an inorganic form which cannot be assimilated by the body.

In nature, no animal pasteurizes its milk. No animal drinks the milk of another animal and no other animal drinks milk after its weaning.

The inorganic calcium we put in our bodies can form kidney stones, gall stones, tumors and calcium deposits in our joints, while leaving our bones deficient in calcium. The calcium in pasteurized milk is just as inorganic as that used in making cement.

Organic calcium on the other hand is found in abundance in raw carrots or green leafy vegetables.
