A new study from Harvard's Health Professionals Follow-up Study gives no support to the advertising claim that milk helps control weight. In a group of 51,529 men, aged 40-75 years, those who consumed the most calcium or dairy products at the study's onset gained the same amount of weight as those who consumed the least of these products.

In 1992 Barry Brown, 58, was diagnosed with non-Hodgkins lymphoma and given five years to live. Fourteen years later, he's still around, and credits much of his successful cancer story with a radically changed diet. He has been in clinical remission for the past five years.

... all dairy cows must give birth in order to begin producing milk. Today, dairy cows are forced to have a calf every year. Like human beings, cows have a nine-month gestation period, and so giving birth every twelve months is physically demanding. The cows are also artificially re-impregnated while they are still lactating from their previous birthing, so their bodies are still producing milk during seven months of their nine-month pregnancy.
