In my previous post I explained the importance of blood alkalinity. The alkalinity of your body determines the ability of illness/disease/cancer or lack of illness/disease/cancer. I want to explain how cow milk/dairy has a negative effect on human health.
With any food we eat it can either benefit our bodies ability to absorb and utilize nutrients or it can hinder our ability to absorb and utilize nutrients which can lead to DNA mutations (cancer) or illness/disease.
The proteins found in cow's milk is casein (80%) and whey(20%). Casein is found as a solid in cheese, where the whey has been filtered or strained out. Milk, consists mostly of Whey protein.
The property of cows milk is far from alkaline. We have been conditioned by society and the dairy industry to believe that dairy will build us strong bones and teeth. Im sorry, we have all been lied to.
Don't fret, because there is always time to change, and there is ample research to prove how unhealth dairy is for humans.

Alkaline minerals: Calcium, Potassium, Magnesium, Sodium, Iron, Silica.
Acidic minerals: Chlorine, Phosphorus, Iodine, Sulphur
Cow's milk does contain the alkaline minerals, however the amount of acidic minerals, lactose, casein and whey found in cows milk/dairy outweighs the good minerals. Most people think that because milk and dairy have lots of calcium that they are going to absorb it all and develop or maintain their strong bones. In reality our bodies have to buffer our blood to bring it back to a pH of 7.3-7.4 and your body is not going to absorb any of the calcium or beneficial minerals.

So what happens and how does it lead to Osteoporosis??
Your body must buffer the acidic environment by pulling alkaline minerals from your bones. Your body will take the minerals where there is the most supply, which are in your bones. After many years of consuming dairy your body hasn't had a chance to actually store enough calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus in your bones because it was too busy giving them away to your body/blood with the instinct of protecting your body from an acidic environment. Because when your body undergoes acidity for long periods you're more prone to illness and disease. If your body is kept in an alkaline state it is highly unlikely that your bones will become brittle, or have a chance of developing a type of cancer.
Often times people will go and get their blood tested to check up on their vitamin and mineral contents. Typically your blood calcium levels will be normal because once you've digested the milk/dairy those minerals do float around in your blood stream while still pulling them from your bones. What happens is you end up urinating the excess calcium out.
Fact: The states who consume the most dairy have the highest rates of Osteoporosis. (The China Study, Dr. T. Colin Campbell).
Tips:
1) Ditch the dairy milk. This day in age there are so many dairy free milks. Try Almond, Rice, Coconut, Hemp, Soy milk.
2)Drink plenty of alkaline water if you have access. I recommend investing in a filtered water bottle because it does make a difference in your life.
3) Eat your greens. Make it a daily goal to eat greens, whether it be in the form of a salad, or added to a smoothie, or stir fry
4) Eat plenty of fruits. Fruits do not make you fat. they are the perfect food for alkalinity as long as they are ripe. start your day off with a bowl of chopped ripe fruit, or in a smoothie.
