“Beware of the Cow”

Diarrhea and cramps, gastrointestinal bleeding, iron-deficiency anemia, skin rashes, atherosclerosis, and acne—these are disorders that have been linked to the drinking of whole cow’s milk. So have recurrent ear infections and bronchitis. Can there be more? Yes. Leukemia, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and simple dental decay have also been proposed as candidates.

Until now I have dealt with well-established facts. Now I would like to provide the reader with a number of very disturbing theories—disturbing, that is, only if you are still drinking milk.

A highly respected British medical journal, The Lancet, published an editorial review titled “Beware of the Cow.” The first sentence of this article read as follows: “Along with the evidence that beef-eating may be connected, in adults, with large-bowel cancer comes news of a possible fresh menace from cows, this time to the young.”

The editorial went on to describe the report of an experiment in which unpasteurized cow’s milk was fed to baby chimpanzees—two of six of these infant chimpanzees developed leukemia and died. Leukemia had never before been observed in chimpanzees. It must be noted that the milk given to these chimpanzees was special. It had come from cows known to be infected with a virus. This virus, called bovine C-type virus, is a natural infection for cows and is believed to cause a form of leukemia in cattle.

Most infections that can be transmitted to chimpanzees can also be transmitted to human beings.
