Does the majority of milk produced in the Western world contain a chance mutation that causes a host of diseases? The jury is still out, but the businesspeople are certainly in. View full documentary here.
Times change and with new information new opinions form, and if they are spiritually reasonable, the task for devotees is to support them with scriptural logic—sastra-yukti—or the logic that supports the essential conclusions of revelation.
With news of Dove World Outreach’s “Islam is of the Devil” campaign and “International Burn a Quran Day”, we are called to inquire, “What makes something ‘of the Devil?’”
Assuming that vegetarians and vegans—because of their underlying moral philosophies—show greater empathy towards animal suffering, it is very well possible that this enhanced empathy extends to other humans also.
Even in the best of relationships one thing is for sure: our connections will come to an end. It is this fact that is readily acknowledged at wedding nuptials with the ominous phrase “until death do us part.”
To slow down or stop aging , today’s longevity scientists have been trying to figure out how to manage deadly cellular gunk by re-engineering either its production, a cell’s repair system or the garbage itself.
This may be very true.
It is the same for disease caused by Nutrasweet which is a 3 change protein that has been shown to cause strokes. aspartanine.
Proteins used by the body are an acromim MILLER (mithionine,isolucine, etcetra) and any other proteins that are taken in are converted to these to be used or excreted when the 8 and some say 10 (histine and ?)essential amion acids are at satisfactory levels. please forgive me it has been 30 years since
I studied this. The body uses L aminos and D sugars or 50% of what we eat is digested the rest is excreted.

So organic milk from cows can be carcinogenic? That is very disturbing. What will the devotees do now?
I do not think the evidence is nearly conclusive enough to say that. If you watch the full documentary it is pretty hard to sort out what is really going on. Regardless, the A2 corporation only promotes pasteurized homogenized milk, which can cause heart disease anyway. I think devotees should be making an effort to get all raw milk.
But again the research now is very inconclusive.
Yes but that would mean we would have to get our own cows. Raw milk is pretty illegal over here.
I bet you could find it if you try hard enough…. here is a starting point: http://www.realmilk.com/where-other.html#nl
Raw milk caused cancer to certain devotees, right?
I have not heard such a thing, but I do not know why it would be devotees specifically. I have not seen anything I can recall about raw milk and cancer anywhere (except for that it is beneficial).
There was nothing in the documentary about a link to cancer in either A1 or A2 milk. The research has been centered around diabetes, heart disease and Autism. Most of the research appears to have been conducted on the diabetes link and the evidence is inconclusive based on what was presented in this documentary.
I was a little surprised that the documentary spent so little time talking about the single amino acid difference between the two casein proteins. At any rate, I agree with the comment that it is extrememly unlikely that a single amino acid difference in the casein protein is responsible for diabetes, heart disease and various neurological disorders.
