Low-fat dairy products are now in vogue with many people who assume this type of diet to be a health advantage. Many people view milk and other dairy products as a "safety-net" to guard against degenerative diseases, such as osteoporosis. However, there may be better ways to get your calcium than from high-protein, high-fat animal products.
THE DECEPTION
The medical profession and the media encourage the public to drink milk and eat dairy
products because "it does the body good". Nothing could be further from the truth! Higher calcium and protein intake is purported to lower the incidence of osteoporosis,
according to the Dairy Council and those dietitians who refuse to study the medical literature that is not in accordance with the Dairy Industry's Commandments.
