In the Western world we believe that milk is good for health: it contains a lot of calcium that is good for bones and proteins to grow. But this dogma is not shared by all health professionals, neither in all countries.

In the Eastern world they are not used to drink milk, at least, this habit hasn’t traditionally existed until the dairy industry went there and tried to convince them to do so.

Recently a lot of research has been done to find out about the origin of Western civilization diseases: obesity, heart disease, diabetes, cancer, osteoporosis, etc, diseases that have a very low rate in Eastern countries. There are several theories that incriminate the bad quality of our nutrition: too much fat, too much sugar, too much refined food, and a new one: too much milk. Milk is said also to be the cause of respiratory problems in children.

Since twenty years ago, the hyperactivity, schizophrenia and autism cases are dramatically raising in developed countries. Scientists from the entire world are studying this problem. All of them agree in the link between the gluten and casein allergies and toxic metals.

In only ten years the number of autism in USA has been multiplied by three. There’s really an “epidemy” of autism that is expanding to the other side of the Atlantic. In Maryland, for example, the official stats show an increasing of 500% of new cases since 1998.
