A Broken Promise Because of a Dairy Whore

I've Broken a Promise

A few months ago, after reviewing the umpteenth bit of
phony dairy research by uncovering a fatal flaw that the
media neglected to note, I promised myself that I was
finished wasting my time countering every biased and
ridiculous piece of research submitted by the dairy
industry. I promised that I would ignore future stories,
for they waste my time and the media has shown that they
are not inclined to report the truth by biting the hand
which feeds them.

I've read dozens of newspaper accounts of the latest
phony dairy study and not one of them reveals that the
study was financed by the Dairy Farmers of Canada (DFC).

This past weekend, this new story hit the newspapers.
If you believe what you read, it's dangerous for a
pregnant woman not to drink cow's milk because her
child will be born severely underweight. Let me quote
the reaction of the Toronto Sun:

"Women who aren't drinking enough milk during pregnancy
are giving birth to smaller babies, putting their
developing infants at harm, a Canadian study suggests."

The Ottawa Citizen had the temerity to report:

"Women who cut down on milk while pregnant can harm
their developing babies nearly as much as if they
smoked, new Canadian research shows."

The study has been published in the April 25, 2006 issue of
the Canadian Medical Association Journal. Scientists found
that infants born to mothers who drank little or no milk
weighed 1-1.5 ounces less than infants born to women who
drank a lot of milk.

So...an eight pound 4 ounce baby from a milk drinker might
weigh only 8 pounds and 3 ounces from a non-milk drinker.
As Snagglepus the Lion (Yogi Bear's friend) used to say,
"Heavens to Mergatroid!" I, on the other hand, might have
used other richly descriptive adjectives to voice my
displeasure at the absurdity of dairy deceivers.

Let's analyze this non-traumatic weight difference scenario.
Women consuming extraneous growth hormones from cows
have infants that will weigh one ounce more. Is this a good
thing in the 21st century in which an obesity epidemic
defines our kids? Do we want our children-to-be exposed to
powerful steroid and protein growth hormones as our little
ones grow in mom's uterus?

The headline could easily have read:

"Moms who drink milk birth obese little chub-balls."

Please let the scientist/researcher who took money
from the Canadian Dairy Board and then came to her
unethically phony conclusion know the word most often
applied to a man or woman who rents body or soul for
dollars. The senior author's name is:

The bottom line...yes, I lied. I could not leave this story
alone. Please forgive me, but I could not allow the bastards
to get away with another one...
