Coincidences...........or............
..... the truths about cow milk that SpongeBall ScaredyPants(Jonathon Ball, aka Jack) does NOT want you to know! .. .. From: "Robert Cohen" <notmilk@e...> Date: Sat Mar 12, 2005 12:56 pm Subject: Two Most Amazing Coincidences Two Most Amazing Coincidences Today we explore two of the most amazing coincidences in American history. These coincidences occurred one hundred years apart. I have yet to decide which coincidence ranks as number one. Each coincidence defies all odds. ______________________ Coincidence Number One ______________________ In July of 1861, an enormous Confederate army marched onto a Virginia farmer's land. That farmer was Wilmer McClain. Union forces attempted to stop the forward progress of the rebel army. These actions resulted in the first major battle of the Civil War, known as Bull Run. Imagine the look on this poor guy's face thirteen months later in August of 1862 when the first episode repeated itself. I flash back to what must have been the same look of the unfortunate patient who gets to act as the subject of an experiment in Gene Wilder's neurology class in the movie "Young Frankenstein." The look on that poor guy's pained face represented one of the greatest classic comedy scenes in cinematic history. Thirteen months later, history repeated itself in the same place, resulting in the second battle of Bull Run. That rarest of events was an oddity, but this story gets even better. Completely disgusted with the bloodshed and destruction of his farm, Mr. McClain loaded two large wagons with what remained of his possessions, and moved two hundred miles away. Now for the fun part. Ever see the film "Dave?" Remember the look on Charles Grodin's face when Sigourney Weaver walks into Kevin Klein's office near the end of the movie? I can picture that same awed expression on our protagonist farmer... ....Three years later, the Union Army was about to win the Civil War. General Ulysses S. Grant met face to face with the leader of the Confederate army, Robert E. Lee. They talked for many hours and negotiated and then signed an agreement that ended the war. At that moment of signing, the two great generals sat in the living room of our gentleman farmer, Wilmer McClain. The town that he moved to after his farm was destroyed in Bull Run II was called Appomattox Court House. ______________________ Coincidence Number Two ______________________ One hundred years after the signing of that truce which ended the Civil War, a protein hormone was identified and named insulin-like growth factor, or IGF-I. There are approximately 4,700 different mammals in the animal kingdom, and millions of different proteins and hormones in nature. Life has such remarkable diversity, that there are no hormones exactly alike which are shared by two different species of mammal. Many paleontologists argue that man is descended from ape-like ancestors. Possibly Leakey's Australopithecus, or Peking man, or Zinzanthropic man. Humans bear close resemblance to primates. Organs are quite similar, as is the skeletal-muscular system. As close as we might seem, there are no identical hormones shared between any two species of primate. HOWEVER, there is one exception to this rule in the animal kingdom. The most powerful growth hormone in the human body, discovered circa 1961, is IGF-I. That is also the most powerful growth hormone to be found in a cow's body. Protein hormones are made up of amino acids. Human IGF-I and bovine IGF-I each contain 70 amino acids in the identical sequence. The number representing the odds of that occurring is greater than the total number of subatomic particles in the universe. In other words, possible, but highly improbable, yet, it happened. Now, that is a coincidence of extreme magnitude. Last part of this coincidence. IGF-I has been identified as a key factor in the growth of every human cancer. Drink milk, and one doubles the amount of (free and unbound) IGF-I in the human body. Last part of this amazing coincidence: The nations with the highest rates of breast cancer include Denmark, Norway, Holland, and Sweden. These nations also have the highest per-capita consumption rates of milk and cheese. Now, that is a coincidence! Robert Cohen http://www.notmilk.com |

Date: Tue Mar 15, 2005 2:04 pm Subject: Vitamin D-3 Can Cause Death by Overdose ADVERTISEMENT Vitamin D-3 Can Cause Death by Overdose Vitamin D-3 is used to kill rats! Why is it added to milk for our children to drink? The title of a brochure produced by the Ministry of Environment in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, is: "Safe and Sensible Pest Control" The brochure represents a series of "safe and sensible" pest control measures, according to the Canadian Health Minister. Many methods of mice and rat control are discussed. I prefer the most foolproof of methods: Don't let them eat your food. Store all foods in refrigerators or tamper-proof containers. With no food supply, mice and rats go elsewhere to dine. According to Canadian health officials, Vitamin D-3 is the most effective and ecologically sound method of dealing with rat and mouse infestation. According to the brochure, products containing Vitamin D-3 (calciferol) kill by vitamin overdose after 3-4 days. The Vitamin D-3 actually mobilizes excessive amounts of calcium from an animal's bones. And you thought that Vitamin D-3 helped to absorb calcium. Another dairy industry myth! Don't try this at home. When the animal dies within your walls, its putrefying body will add the most unpleasant bouquet to your environment. The offensive smell may last for months. How soon we forget! Children are taught in first grade that Vitamin D is the "sunshine vitamin." Vitamin D is a steroid hormone and is synthesized in one's body after skin is exposed to sunlight. Once the body has made enough, it will produce no more. Too much Vitamin D can be toxic and result in bone loss. In 1963, the Journal Pediatrics revealed: "Consuming as little as 45 micrograms of Vitamin D-3 in young children has resulted in signs of overdose." (one gallon of milk contains 1600 IU, or 40 micrograms)." (Pediatrics, 1963; 31) A study published in the New England Journal of Medicine revealed that of 42 milk samples, only 12% were within the expected range of Vitamin D content. Testing of 10 samples of infant formula revealed seven with more that twice the Vitamin D content reported on the label, one of which had more than four times the label amount. Vitamin D is toxic in overdose for rats and mice. (New England Journal of Medicine, 1992, 326) Robert Cohen http://www.notmilk.com |
