Dairy Industry Attacks PEDIATRICS
From: "Robert Cohen" <notmilk@e...>
Date: Thu Mar 10, 2005 12:29 pm Subject: Attacking (NotMilk) Messengers Attacking (NotMilk) Messengers It did not take long for the dairy industry to attack the lead article in this month's journal, PEDIATRICS (Pediatrics. 2005 Mar;115(3):736-43). Amy Lanou, M.D., Susan Berkow, Ph.D., and Neal Barnard, M=2ED., have researched and published a landmark paper that has undergone a rigorous peer-review process by one of America's most respected scientific journals. Their article concludes that neither dairy products nor calcium supplementation plays any role in building strong bones. This news was so bad for dairy producers that their strategy was to attack the authors personally. Although dairy producers refer to this scientific study as an "opinion piece," a Medline review of the abstract of that article confirms that the authors identified and analyzed 58 studies in order to come to their (independently scrutinized and confirmed by third parties) scientifically-based conclusions. Here is the official dairy response as published in Dairy Herd, a pro dairy website: <http://www.dairyherd.com > (you must register to access this and other articles, but their column reproduced here in its entirety): ************************************************** Report attacks milk's role in building strong bones By Dairy Herd news source (Wednesday, March 09, 2005) According to an article in the February issue of Pediatrics, milk may not be the best calcium source to help kids build strong bones. That message flies in the face of countless studies completed over the years that link dairy consumption with building strong bones. But, unless you know the lead researcher is a member of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine =E2=80" an animal rights group with just 5 percent of the membership being actual physicians =E2=80" you may be inclined to believe the message. A statement by the National Dairy Council and the International Dairy Foods Association, calls the article an "opinion piece" and that the authors "chose to ignore decades of comprehensive research endorsing dairy=E2=80=99s role in bone health." Consensus in the scientific and medical community is strong regarding the value of dairy foods in a healthy diet. In fact, for information on the American Academy of Pediatrics' (AAP) current calcium policy statement, go to: <http://aappolicy.aappublications.org...ediatrics;104/ 5/1152 > The U.S. Surgeon General, National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), Centers for Disease Control (CDC) are just a few of the organizations that confirm that milk and milk products are a good way for kids and teens to get the bone-building calcium they need. When it comes to nutrition, people should listen to health and nutrition experts, not animal rights activists. The NDC and IDFA encourage consumers to learn more about sound science on calcium and bone health at these websites: 1=2E NICHD's extensive, publicly funded education program called "Milk Matters" explains why milk is so essential in the development of kids and teens. <http://www.nichd.nih.gov/milk/ > 2=2E In 2004, the U.S. Surgeon General called for all Americans to take action to improve and maintain healthy bones. He urged people of all ages to meet daily requirements for calcium and Vitamin D with three glasses of lowfat milk each day to reach this goal. <http://www.surgeongeneral.gov/library/bonehealth/ > 3=2E The CDC's longstanding National Bone Health Campaign(TM), "Powerful Girls, Powerful Bones," encourages teen girls to get the calcium they need for healthy bones. <http://www.cdc.gov/powerfulbones/index_content.html > ************************************************** The PEDIATRICS article, as reported on Medline: @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ Calcium, dairy products, and bone health in children and young adults: a reevaluation of the evidence. Lanou AJ, Berkow SE, Barnard ND. Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, 5100 Wisconsin Ave NW, Suite 400, Washington, DC 20016, USA. alanou@p... OBJECTIVE: Numerous nutrition policy statements recommend the consumption of 800 to 1500 mg of calcium largely from dairy products for osteoporosis prevention; however, the findings of epidemiologic and prospective studies have raised questions about the efficacy of the use of dairy products for the promotion of bone health. The objective of this study was to review existing literature on the effects of dairy products and total dietary calcium on bone integrity in children and young adults to assess whether evidence supports (1) current recommended calcium intake levels and (2) the suggestion that dairy products are better for promoting bone integrity than other calcium-containing food sources or supplements. METHODS: A Medline (National Library of Medicine, Bethesda, MD) search was conducted for studies published on the relationship between milk, dairy products, or calcium intake and bone mineralization or fracture risk in children and young adults (1-25 years). This search yielded 58 studies: 22 cross-sectional studies; 13 retrospective studies; 10 longitudinal prospective studies; and 13 randomized, controlled trials. RESULTS: Eleven of the studies did not control for weight, pubertal status, and exercise and were excluded. Ten studies were randomized, controlled trials of supplemental calcium, 9 of which showed modest positive benefits on bone mineralization in children and adolescents. Of the remaining 37 studies of dairy or unsupplemented dietary calcium intake, 27 studies found no relationship between dairy or dietary calcium intake and measures of bone health. In the remaining 9 reports, the effects on bone health are small and 3 were confounded by vitamin D intake from milk fortified with vitamin D. Therefore, in clinical, longitudinal, retrospective, and cross-sectional studies, neither increased consumption of dairy products, specifically, nor total dietary calcium consumption has shown even a modestly consistent benefit for child or young adult bone health. CONCLUSION: Scant evidence supports nutrition guidelines focused specifically on increasing milk or other dairy product intake for promoting child and adolescent bone mineralization. @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ @@@@ Robert Cohen http://www.notmilk.com |

"trying to tell others not to eat or drink it, either?"
.. I hope you give equal time to the dairy industry Bunghole. Something along the lines of: "what the F*** makes you such non-stop idiots about trying to tell others to eat and drink fluids from diseased animals?" |
