Milk Worse Than Second Hand Smoke

I'm wondering where you received your information? I would be anonymous too, if I posted information such as yours. Automatic milkers do not cause cuts and scabs. Milk is tested for bacteria, mastitis, antiobotics, fat content, as well as other tests. You might want to visit your local dairy and find out facts first hand. I'm not saying that every dairy in the world conducts business in the best manner--there are always a few (AS WITH ANY BUSINESS) that cause problems for the business people who are doing the job right. It's too bad that people dwell on the few problem people and try to act as if they are the norm. I almost have to imagine you are not familiar with cattle or the dairy industry. I find it sad that many people rely on information when they may not know much or anything about the issue. Sure, milk in excess, like MOST ANYTHING, may have its drawbacks. People need to use a little common sense and not jump to damaging conclusions.

Yeah, Milk is bad for you..not from the fats..the truth is that Dairy cows undergo alot of stress during milking. A Factory cow's udder is 3x bigger than a regualer dairy cow..therefore diseases like Mastitis(infection) does affect these cows and goes into our milk. If you think about it, the sucking tools applied to their udders cause cuts, therefore blood and scabs get into the milk you drink. Its like reopening a wound on your hand, when wearing a very light glove, and having it rub. Although you think that the milk is screened through a process(homyg.), everything is still in there regardless. If a CSI detective were to ananylze milk for blood, his testing applicator would show positive. Gross huh? Not only that, but milk has been shown to be directly related to problems such as allergies and bone deterioration..and you think calcium was great for bones and even osteoperoses..TRUE. Calcium ALONE is good, the milk with it isnt. Cows are not our mothers. And Im not trying to sound like a PETA activist..Im making the point about milk, not for the cows sake. Heres all the facts:
