Letter 291: Jeffree Moline, 10 April 1998 I left a message several days ago and bounced back on to check out the site again. A really great site! I noticed that you are get- ting a lot of flack from the pro-dairy folks. All I can say is, if they believe that dairy is so good, then eat it. If they think dairy is so good, why do they insist on vicious diatribes to support their (in my opinion, unwinnable) position. They have huge industries and advertising agencies to support them. Why are they so scared of a small, private website? There are many reasons I don't drink milk (one is that it causes excess mucus in my body, and less mucus is good). Yes, I will eat my greens and enjoy my ice-cold glass of rice, soy or oat milk...so good, and good for me. Thank you for having the courage to do this page and deal with the ignorant masses of con- sumers who aren't ready for the message.

About the Commentator Robert "NOTMILKMAN" Cohen studied physiological psychology at Long Island University's Southampton College but did not pursue his career in biological research. Twenty-four years later, out of concern for the welfare of his school-age children, he decided to investigate the scientific data on the controversial genetically engineered bovine growth hormone developed by Monsanto and approved by the FDA without human trials. Cohen's book, Milk: The Deadly Poison, is the result of three years of intensive research into the adverse health effects of dairy products and milk hormones and the dubious practices of food/health authorities and industries.

The NOTMILKMAN's comments: Dear Andrew: Hundreds of studies have implicated milk and dairy products as the leading cause of heart disease. Many such studies are cited in Milk: The Deadly Poison. High triglyceride and cholesterol levels are both associated with coronary heart disease. One study (J. Clinical Biochemistry and Nutrition 9(1):61-66, 1990) showed that adult milk drinkers (those consuming more than 200 ml daily) have higher total cho- lesterol levels, higher low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (‘bad' cholesterol) levels, and higher triglyceride levels than those who drink less than 60 ml per day. Oster and Ross (two Connecticut cardiologists) found that their 32 ¢ NEXUS Hundreds of studies have implicated milk and dairy products as the leading cause of heart disease. AUGUST - SEPTEMBER 1998
