I have always drank a lot of skim milk believing it was good for me but my brother sent me below's info. It says you should only drink whole milk which I think has too much saturated fat and I have to assume whole milk cost a heck of a lot more. Any opinions ?
Homogenized milk and heart disease
Heart disease is now well established as the leading cause of death in American males. Yet, less than fifty years ago it was a rare disease that didn't rate among the six leading causes of death in this county. Numerous causes have been suggested by the medical profession, including cigarettes, stress, and a sedentary existence, and now cholesterol and saturated fats.
The information presented here is the product of over thirty years of investigative work by Dr. Kurt A.Oster, M.D. , motivated by two of his own heart attacks. Dr. Oster is the Chief of Cardiology, Emeritus at Bridgeport Connecticut's City Park Hospital. His findings are supported by Dr. R. Lincoln and Dr. Donald Ross, among many others.
CHOLESTEROL IS NOT THE PROBLEM
Cholesterol is manufactured by the body. It is so vital that all tissues fabricate it and all cells contain it. The fragmented logic, which gave birth to the hypothesis that cholesterol may be the causative agent of heart disease, is beginning to fall apart under the weight of recent evidence, including that of the National Research Council. In short, because cholesterol is so important physiologically, it is a rather foolhardy assumption that the human system has become dependent on the biochemical which can trigger its self-destruction. There are many people in many countries in the world who consume more cholesterol consumption than we do, but suffer far less heart disease. Fat and cholesterol consumption has not changed significantly in this country in the last 150 years and yet heart disease skyrocketed fifty years ago.
THE REAL CULPRIT
Cow's milk is normally nutritious. However, when it is tampered with by way of homogenization, it becomes a type of slow poison for the circulatory system. Homogenization was introduced into this country in 1932. It is a process that breaks down the fat into very small globules to keep the fat from separating. The primary purpose is to extend the shelf life of the product.
Milk fat contains a substance called Xanthine Oxidase (XO). This XO is usually not a problem in our system, but homogenization causes some of this XO to pass through the wall of the intestine into the circulatory system. There it creates havoc by attacking specific targets in the artery walls as well as heart tissue, causing lesions. The body responds to this attack by attempting to heal the damaged areas. Fatty tissue and cholesterol are laid over these "body band aids" that build up over the damaged areas and eventually cause obstructions.
If this hypothesis is correct then the heart disease rate should be highest in the countries with the largest consumption of homogenized milk containing this active XO ingredient. Statistics from around the world confirm that this is exactly the case. Finland is the only country in the world that consumes more homogenized milk than the United States. It is interesting to note that exercise has little effect on the problem because the Finns are very active people.
A heart attack is the product of years of arterial damage, not the result of some sudden, overnight occurrence. Considerable arterial damage occurs before the age of fifteen when the greatest volumes of milk are consumed. Scarred arteries have been found in infants after autopsy. Studies have revealed that one half of the American children have lesions by the age of ten. The evidence also suggests that it is unwise for pregnant women to drink homogenized milk because of the potential damage to the unborn fetus.
Homogenized milk is a denatured product; is not natural. Egg cholesterol, fats do not trigger heart disease. Heart attack was rare before they began to homogenize milk in 1932. Now, even young people are dying from it.
Studies of soldiers killed in Korea showed Americans had heart disease at age 22, Japanese and Koreans did not. The difference? Only the Americans drank homogenized milk.
The enzyme XO smuggled into the bloodstream by homogenized milk causes HALF OF ALL HEART ATTACKS! 30% of the heart muscle and artery walls are composed of plasmalogen. This is usually not in the liver or small intestine for good reason. XO serves a useful purpose in the liver and the small intestine, but destroys plasmalogen if it is present;they cannot co-exist. Plasmalogen is missing from heart muscle of the heart attack victim, but XO from cow milk will be found at the site.
XO in regular milk is digested, but in homogenized milk is transported intact directly into the blood stream where it attacks arteries. When XO attacks the artery, an area is literally eaten away. The body, in it's wisdom tries to heal this area with 15 different substances including cholesterol. As this buildup continues the risk of heart attack is increased.
