"In reality, cow's milk, especially processed cow's milk,
has been linked to a variety of health problems, including:
mucous production, hemoglobin loss, childhood diabetes,
heart disease, atherosclerosis, arthritis, kidney stones,
mood swings, depression, irritability, allergies."

Townsend Medical Letter, May, 1995, Julie Klotter, MD

"At least 50% of all children in the United States are
allergic to cow's milk, many undiagnosed. Dairy products
are the leading cause of food allergy, often revealed by
diarrhea, constipation, and fatigue. Many cases of asthma
and sinus infections are reported to be relieved and even
eliminated by cutting out dairy."

Natural Health, July, 1994, Nathaniel Mead, MD

"Formula-fed babies, at the age of three months, were
secreting low levels of serum antibodies to bovine
proteins contained in their formula."

"Most formula fed infants developed symptoms of allergic
rejection to cow milk proteins before one month of age.
About 50-70% experienced rashes or other skin symptoms,
50-60 percent gastrointestinal symptoms, and 20-30
percent respiratory symptoms. The recommended therapy is
to avoid cow's milk."
