Milk dramatically accelerates onset of puberty
by Russell Eaton
A study published in the U.S. ‘Journal of Reproductive Medicine’ shows that drinking milk dramatically increases the chances for women to have twin babies or even triplets. The study shows that compared to mothers who avoid dairy milk, the milk-consuming mothers have a 13% greater chance of having a multiple birth! Vegan women were found to have a 20% less chance of having twins compared to women who consume dairy products. (Mechanisms of Twinning: Effect of Diet and Heredity on the Human Twinning Rate, May 2006).
The study shows that this is due to IGF-1, a bovine growth hormone found all types of dairy milk. All recent studies show that IGF-1 is responsible several types of cancer and other diseases in regular milk consumers.
Dr. Gary Steinman of the Long Island Jewish Medical Center in New Hyde Park, USA, who conducted the study, took samples from more than 1000 vegetarian women. These women were shown to have five times less chances of having twins compared to non-vegetarian women. It seems that animal-product foodstuffs, especially dairy foods, can significantly increase the chances of having twins.
This theory is also supported by the finding that in some traditional dairy consuming populations, the rate of twin birth is high. If it is true that consuming milk increases the chances of a multiple birth, this adds further support to the horror story of IGF-1.
People consuming dairy milk will ingest this harmful IGF-1 bovine growth hormone, and this completely upsets the natural hormonal balance of the human body. Giving birth to twins (or even triplets) is unnatural in the human species, and is not a sign of good health.
Worse still, the combination of IGF-1 and estrogen in dairy milk is known to greatly accelerate early puberty in young girls and boys. This in turn can make people more prone to getting a variety of cancers in adult life.
Premature puberty in girls can cause depression, aggressiveness, moodiness, social withdrawal, behavioural problems, and a greater likelihood to take drugs and smoke. Additionally, it is known that early puberty in a girl increases the risk of osteoporosis in later life.
“There are several reasons why dairy products raise a woman’s hormone levels causing a variety of hormone-dependent problems from early onset of menstruation (menarche) to PMS and uterine fibroids – but one is unique to cow’s milk: cows are milked even while they are pregnant. As a result of the pregnancy, cows secrete high levels of estrogen into their milk.” (Janowski T., ‘Mammary Secretion Of Estrogens In The Cow’, Domest. Anim. Endocrinol. 2002 Jul; 23(1-2): 125-37).
Clearly, the way to avoid harmful IGF-1 hormones is to avoid dairy milk. You can easily switch to delicious and super-nutritious non-dairy milk. This can have a dramatic beneficial effect on health.
