All 4,500 species of mammals produce milk for their young. Only humans continue to drink it after weaning and not even their mothers milk but cows milk.

Cows milk is a perfect food for a calf but that doesnt mean it is good for human babies or adults! If you want to improve your health by making just one change to your diet, I recommend you eliminate all dairy. Professor Jane Plant CBE (DSc, CEng): leading scientist and author of Your Life in Your Hands Understanding, Preventing and Overcoming Breast Cancer.

Cows produce milk bec ause they give birth but their babies are forcibly tak en away from them. The result is emotional devastation for cow and calf. Male calves are the unwanted by-products of dairy farming and are mostly shot at just a day or two old, raised for meat or sent to the cramped and cruel Co ntinental veal farms. Mo thers are reimpregnated and suf fer the crushing burden of producing huge quanti ties of milk while nurtur ing a growing foetus.
