Re: Dairy.................Paratuberculosis Source

The better evidence would be x percent of milk bought at a store, a
comparsion of amount of milk used and rate of this appearing in humans
tested, rate used and rate of the diseases mentioned, etc.; which would
avoid the several "wiggle" areas of the info presented.

Dairy Industry Shocker

June is National Dairy Month, and at the same time dairy
industry executives were deceiving last summer's consumers
by promoting ice cream and cheese as foods to lose weight
by, these same cretins were carefully guarding a secret
that they determined you had no need to know.

That secret will now be revealed five months after their
annual milk celebration, and today's column should inspire
thousands more Americans to immediately jump onto the
Notmilk wagon of dairy abstinence.

The November issue of the journal Dairy Science (Volume 87
(11):3770-7) contains a study in which slaughtered cows were
tested for paratuberculosis, a bacterium that is not killed
by pasteurization. Mycobacterium paratuberculosis is often
passed directly from cow to human in milk and dairy products,
causing irritable bowel syndrome, ulcerative colitis, and
Crohn's Disease.

Dr. Shawn McKenna and associates randomly sampled lymph
nodes and intestines from 984 cows that had ended their
lives in slaughterhouses. During the month of June, 2004,
an amazing event transpired. Forty-two percent of those
cows tested positive, infested with dangerous mycobacterium
paratuberculosis.

In February of 1998, the British Medical Journal reported:

"Mycobacterium Paratuberculosis crosses the species
barrier to infect and cause disease in humans."

The following month, the Journal of Applied and
Environmental Microbiology revealed:

"Mycobacterium paratuberculosis is capable of surviving
commercial pasteurization..."

Combine today's news with a publication in the September,
1996 issue of the Proceedings for the National Academy of
Sciences:

"Mycobacterium paratuberculosis RNA was found in 100% of
Crohn's disease patients, compared with 0% of controls."

How could any mother ever again buy milk for her family,
armed with the above information? Please help to spread
this news far and wide.
