U OF C RESEARCHER MILK FACTS FOR SCIENCE
FIVE YEARS, 150 PUBLICATIONS AND LOTS OF MILK BEHIND DATABASE OF MORE THAN 2,000 COMPOUNDS
By Hamad Issawi - STARMETRO EDMONTON
WHILE THE CONTENT OF A CARTON OF MILK ISN’T ALWAYS CLEAR, NEW WORK OUT OF THE UNIVERSITY OF ALBERTA LOOKS TO QUENCH THAT WITH A TALL GLASS OF FACTS.
AFTER FIVE YEARS OF RESEARCH…. IMMUNOLOGIST BURIM AMETAJ AND BIOLOGIST DAVID WISHART HAVE CHURNED OUT THE MILK COMPOSITION DATABASE, A COMPREHENSIVE WEBSITE LISTING AND DETAILING MORE THAN 2,000 COMPOUNDS FOUND IN COW’S MILK, INCLUDING 168 THAT HAVE NEVER BEFORE BEEN REPORTED.
“THERE ARE 2, 355 DIFFERENT COMPOUNDS,” AMETAJ EXPLAINED. “WE HAVE SEARCHED A LOT TO PUT TOGETHER ALL THIS TREMENDOUS INFORMATION, WHICH HAS BEEN SCATTERED IN DIFFERENT PAPERS IN DIFFERENT ARTICLES—— AND NOW YOU HAVE AN ‘ENCYCLOPEDIA OF MILK.’”
SCIENTISTS, NUTRITIONISTS, AND EVEN THE AVERAGE MILK LOVER, CAN PORE OVER THE RESOURCE TO FIND A WEALTH OF DETAIL ON INDIVIDUAL COMPOUNDS—— SUGARS, VITAMINS, MINERALS, AND FATS—— IN DIFFERENT VARIETIES OF MILK, FROM SLIM TO 3.25 PER CENT.
AMETAJ ADDED. “IF YOU WANT TO KNOW HOW MUCH CHOLESTEROL IS IN MILK, YOU WILL FIND IT. OR IF YOU WANT TO KNOW HOW MUCH VITAMIN A IS IN MILK, YOU WILL FIND IT.”
“THERE ARE CONSUMERS THAT DON’T LIKE TO EAT FAT” AMETAJ SAID. “BUT IN SKIM MILK, THE FAT HAS BEEN REMOVED, AND WHEN YOU REMOVE FAT, YOU ALSO REMOVE THESE FAT-SOLUBLE VITAMINS—— VITAMIN A. E, D AND K—— AND TO OUR SURPRISE, VITAMIN C IS A WATER-SOLUBLE VITAMIN, NOT A FAT-SOLUBLE VITAMIN.”
VERA BARAZ, A CERTIFIED DIETITIAN WORKING IN THE EDMONTON AREA WHO TESTED THE WEBSITE, SAID THAT WHILKE SHE KNOWS MILK HAS A LOT OF NUTRIENTS, SEEING THE VOLUME OF INFORMATION IN THE DATABASE WAS A WELCOME SURPRISE.
AMETAJ SAID THE PROJECT WAS SUPPORTED BY BOTH THE FEDERAL AND PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENTS, “THIS IS A BENEFIT NOT JUST FOR US, BUT FOR THE ENTIRE WORLD.”

YES RAW ORGANIC MILK STRAIGHT FROM A COW RAISED ORGANICALLY, IS THE GREATEST SUPER FOOD OF ALL SUPER FOODS!!!
SOME MONTHS BACK [FROM JULY, AS I ENTER THIS, 2019] WAS AN ADD ON THE TV, THE GUY SAID, “RAW WHOLE MILK IS THE ONLY SUBSTANCE ON EARTH, THAT YOU CAN LIVE ON FROM BEING AN ADULT, LIVE ONLY ON, AND NEVER DIE FROM MALNUTRITION.”
THE OLD “HEALTH AND STRENGTH” STRONG MAN, CHARLES ATLAS, WAS A TEACHER THAT HIGHLY RECOMMENDED YOU DRINK LOTS OF RAW WHOLE ORGANIC MILK. HE SAID, ALONG WITH OTHER HEALTHY FOODS, IT WOULD GIVE YOU A BABY’S COMPLEXION.
AND AS A TEENAGER FIRST STARTING TO DO HIS COURSE, I DID INDEED HAVE A SKIN COMPLEXION GIRLS WOULD ENVY.
IN THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND SCHOOL SYSTEM I WAS RAISED IN [FROM 7 TO 17] WE HAD FREE WHOLE MILK [CREAM CAME TO THE TOP]. I DRANK A PINT EACH DAY IN SCHOOL, AND MILK ON THE WEEK-END AT HOME.
TRULY GOOD RAW WHOLE ORGANIC MILK IS THE GREATEST SUPER FOOD OF ALL SUPER FOODS [CHIA SEEDS AND BLUEBERRIES TWO OTHER “SUPER” FOODS].
TIME TO DRINK ORGANIC [RAW AS YOU CAN GET] MILK!

I totally agree. But even organic (usual"store-bought") milk is pretty much just "chalky water" compared to real, raw milk. The enzymes, hormones, and just about every nutrient under the sun are missing - with only a three-toed sloth's handful put back in!
ReplyDeleteHealth concerns are nonsensical - especially since stainless steel holding tanks came in use a hundred years ago. I don't see any calls to ban spinach after each e coli breakout!
Organic milk means the cows are not shot with man's chemicals, but it is pasteurized, it's a law. Sure if you can have your own cows or goats, then you get the full organic milk. But most of us ain't able to be in that situation. So I do the best with organic store milk----- and you go way way too far in calling it down. I have very strong bones from organic milk and vitamin D----way way stronger than all the average persons at my age --- 78 come September. Never broken a bone in all my very physical activities over my life.
