主旨: Why No Milk 为甚么不要喝牛奶

       很多家长不清楚为甚么我们的寄宿学校不提倡喝牛奶，而很令人惊讶的是孩子们采用我们的科学饮食很少生病也没有以前过动的迹象，专注力以及情绪的问题也较为改善。是甚么原因?主要的原因是在饮食方面，我们不喝牛奶并且减少糖分的摄取。

       牛奶以及糖分是食物中容易造成生病的两大因素。也许这是一个严厉的说法，但是这是实际的经验、以及许多健康专家对于食物的研究: 排除牛奶以及糖分的饮食习惯所得到的学术论断。让我们来谈一谈牛奶。

        你常常听说成人喝牛奶而造成肠胃的问题、拉肚子、过敏或者多痰。当他们停止喝牛奶，这一些问题都消失了。我们不曾看到我们的孩子有这些问题，最主要的原因是我们没有让孩子们喝牛奶。牛奶是美国的成人以及儿童最大的过敏源，有许多文件记载它是造成腹泻、抽筋、腹胀、胃胀气、肠胃出血、缺铁性贫血、皮肤疹、动脉硬化、以及粉刺的原因。它也是造成孩子周期性耳朵感染的主要原因。其中，超过百分之五十的孩子能够获得改善只要他们停止饮用牛奶。因为牛奶业者持续的做广告已达成销售的目的，这使得许多人相信牛奶是完美的食物、人们可经由饮用牛奶而达到吸收钙质的效果。但是我们也可经由食用深绿色蔬菜或者其他食材来摄取钙质而不是饮用会造成健康问题的牛奶。我们很小心的为孩子们选择富有钙质的食材，像是大骨汤，以及玩游戏让不喜欢吃蔬菜的孩子们也开始喜欢吃深绿色蔬菜。当然一些传统的观念，让许多内科医生以及营养师认为摄取足够的钙质不容易，应该靠饮用牛奶来避免骨质疏松。但是，却没有相关的研究报告能够支持这样的说法。

        我们相信生奶是没有问题的，但是问题必须追溯到市面上被商业化的牛奶。一般来说，大部分的人对于生奶都不会过敏，但是一旦我们将生奶改变成商业化的牛奶，就不同了。健康方面的问题就是来自于大量制造牛奶过程中的均值技术以及高温杀菌。

       高温杀菌改变了牛奶的本质。当你将牛奶高温杀菌，你会把牛奶加热到能够杀死细菌的温度，这当然也包括牛奶中好的细菌，像是在优格中富含的乳酸菌或者比菲德氏菌。在高温杀菌后，所有在牛奶中有益的酵素都会被破坏。失去了多种宝贵酵素的牛奶，是不容易被消化的，那也是为甚么许多儿童在喝完牛奶之后感到不适的原因。人类的胰脏没有办法一直产生这一些酵素，当胰脏有了过度的负担，就会衍生糖尿病以及其他的疾病。

       许多人知道他们有乳糖不耐症，也就是不能食用牛奶中的糖分—乳糖。乳糖不耐症并不是对于牛奶的过敏症，也不代表牛奶对他们不好。而是因为他们体内没有乳糖酵素或者乳糖酵素不足，使得牛奶中的糖分—乳糖不能适当的被身体所消化吸收。牛乳中原本富含的乳糖酵素也因为高温杀菌的过程被破坏掉了，这也是饮用商业化牛奶之后所产生的另一个健康问题。所有的糖以及牛奶中的乳糖都会抑制免疫系统，如果能够减少牛奶以及糖分的摄取，孩子们就会比较不容易生病、感冒。这也是为甚么我们主张摄取钙时，以其他食材来取代牛奶。

       当我们均质化牛奶时，我们将牛奶打散成很小的粒子，所以脂肪就不会集中在表面。但是当我们将脂肪打散成很小的例子时，许多人相信同时会产生一种化学物质称为—黄嘌呤氧化酶这是均质化的牛奶被认为容易造成癌症的原因。虽然还无法证实的确有害，但是这是非常有可能的论述。我们知道的是: 这一些议题都还没提及到商业化牛乳中所含的成长贺尔蒙、抗生素残留物、病毒粒子、细菌、以及其他被添入的有害物质。现在牛乳的生产都是利用现代化的饲养方式:将饲料中添加高蛋白的成分，取代传统的新鲜牧草，让乳牛的脑垂腺分泌异常，而生产原产量三倍以上的牛乳，这一些乳牛需要大量的抗生素来维持健康。

       希望您可以再多思考过分依赖牛奶的饮食习惯。偶尔少量的牛奶或乳制品，对大部分的人而言，不至于造成严重的问题。我们能够节制孩子们对于乳制品的摄取，但是家长常发现回家之后，孩子们开始饮用牛奶，就容易有流鼻涕、胃不舒服、或者感冒的症状。我们能够使用其他的饮食取代牛奶，来避免这一些问题，同时摄取足够的钙质，让孩子们的牙齿和骨骼更加强壮。

Subject: Why No Milk
 Many parents wonder why we don’t promote the drinking of cow's milk at our boarding school. What is surprising to some is that the children following our scientific diet rarely get sick and previous signs of hyperactivity, attention deficit or emotional problems disappear. Why is this? A major reason is because we eliminate milk and excessive sugar from the diet.

Milk and refined sugar are two of the largest contributors to food induced ill health in the world. That may seem like a harsh statement, but this is practical experience and academic conclusion of many health professionals who have studied these foods and seen the results of removing it from people's diets. Let's just talk about cow's milk.

You often hear adults saying that when they drink milk they suffer stomach problems, diarrhea, allergies or mucous. When they stop drinking milk, many of their health problems disappear. We never see these problems with our children and one of the main reasons is from avoiding milk.  Cow's milk is the number one allergic food in America for children and adults. It has been well documented as a cause of diarrhea, cramps, bloating, gas, gastrointestinal bleeding, iron-deficiency anemia, skin rashes, atherosclerosis, and acne. It is the primary cause of recurrent ear infections in children. Over 50% of these children will improve and have no further ear infections if they just stop drinking milk.

One of the biggest myths people have come to believe in, due to constant milk industry advertising to get you to drink more, is that milk is a perfect food and that we absorb much calcium from milk.  It is possible to obtain all your calcium from dark green vegetables and  sources other than milk (which definitely causes health issues). We are careful to feed our students a diet rich in  calcium, including Chinese bone soup, and have games that quickly turn children who don't love vegetables into green vegetable lovers. Of course the traditional view by most physicians and dieticians is that nobody gets enough calcium and everybody should drink more milk because it prevents osteoporosis. The research studies do not seem to bear that out.  

We believe there is nothing wrong with raw milk  but the problems observant nutritionists see can be traced to commercial milk.  In general, there isn't anything in raw milk that a large percentage of the population is allergic to until we start changing it and altering it to become commercial milk. The health problems we see from consuming a lot of milk are due to the modern methods of homogenization and pasteurization.

Pasteurization alters the milk. When you pasteurize the milk, you are heating it up to a temperature that is sufficient to kill specific types of bacteria. This also kills all the good bacteria such as acidophilus/bifidus that you see advertised on yoghurt labels. After it gets pasteurized all the valuable enzymes in milk are destroyed (lactase for the assimilation of lactose; galactase for the assimilation of galactose; phosphatase for the assimilation of calcium). Literally dozens of other precious enzymes are destroyed in the pasteurization process. Without them, milk is very difficult to digest and young children therefore sometimes suffer upset after drinking it. The human pancreas is also not always able to produce these enzymes; over-stress of the pancreas can lead to diabetes and other diseases.  

A lot of people know that they are lactose intolerant, which is the sugar that occurs in milk. Lactose intolerance is not a milk allergy. It doesn't mean milk is not good for them. It simply means that the milk sugar, which is called lactose, can't be properly assimilated by the body because the lactase enzyme is either not there or is in an insufficient amount. Mother Nature put plenty of lactase into the milk so it wouldn't cause a problem, but we destroy it by pasteurizing the milk. It's another reason people suffer health problems by drinking commercial milk. Milk is mostly sugar and all sugars  tend to suppress the immune system. By eliminating the milk and many sweets the children rarely get colds or the flu. This is yet another reason why we prefer alternative sources of calcium to milk which at the very least tends to stuff some people up.

When we homogenize the milk, we also break it up into tiny particles so that the fat will not separate and collect at its surface.  When we homogenize it, some people believe that this releases a chemical called Xanthine Oxidase which makes the homogenized milk more cancer causing. That's very possible but no one has definitely proved this to be detrimental yet. What we do know is that these issues don't even address all the growth hormone and antibiotic residues, virus particles, bacteria, pus and so forth you find in commercial milk, or the possibility of other ingredients being added that are harmful to people. The path of modern day milk production uses modern feeding methods that substitute high-protein, soy-based feeds for fresh green grass as cows should be fed, and our breeding methods produce cows with abnormally large pituitary glands so that they produce three times more milk than the old fashioned cow. These cows need excessive antibiotics to keep them well.

Hopefully, you will reconsider your position on overly depending on milk as a form of nourishment for children. Small amounts of milk or milk products taken infrequently will likely cause little or no problems for most people. We have no problem with modest amounts of milk, but parents always find that when children return home and start drinking milk, they easily develop runny noses, upset stomachs, or catxch colds. We have virtually eliminated these problems at our school while supplying children with more than enough calcium for strong teeth and bones from sources other than milk.
