A study published in the U.S. ‘Journal of Reproductive Medicine’ shows that drinking milk dramatically increases the chances for women to have twin babies or even triplets. The study shows that compared to mothers who avoid dairy milk, the milk-consuming mothers have a 13% greater chance of having a multiple birth! Vegan women were found to have a 20% less chance of having twins compared to women who consume dairy products. (Mechanisms of Twinning: Effect of Diet and Heredity on the Human Twinning Rate, May 2006).
The study shows that this is due to cow hormones known as ‘IGF-1′. These hormones are present is all types of dairy milk. All recent studies show that IGF-1 is responsible for several types of cancer and other diseases in humans who consume milk.
Gary Steinman of the Long Island Jewish Medical Center in New Hyde Park, USA, who conducted the study, took a sample of more than 1000 women who were consuming only vegetables and observed that these women had five times less chances of bearing twins compared to omnivorous ones. Dr. Steinman suggests that animal-product foodstuffs, especially dairy foods, can increase the chance of releasing more than one egg during ovulation, which could lead to a double fertilization.
This study is also supported by other findings showing that in some populations where dairy farming is traditional, the rate of twin birth is high. This adds further support to the vast amount of research showing how IGF-1 in dairy milk is so harmful to human health.
Anybody consuming dairy milk will ingest this harmful bovine growth hormone, and this plays havoc with the natural hormonal balance of the human body. Giving birth to twins or triplets is an aberration in the human species, not a sign of good health.
Another little known fact about dairy milk is that the combination of IGF-1 and estrogen in milk accelerates early puberty in young boys and girls (the bovine growth factor accelerates the onset of puberty in humans). This makes you more prone to getting cancer later in life.
Premature puberty in girls can cause depression, aggressiveness, moodiness, social withdrawal, behavioural problems, and a greater likelihood to take drugs and smoke. Additionally, it is known that early puberty in a girl increases the risk of osteoporosis in later life.
“There are several reasons why dairy products raise a woman’s hormone levels causing a variety of hormone-dependent problems from early onset of menstruation (menarche) to PMS and uterine fibroids – but one is unique to cow’s milk: cows are milked even while they are pregnant. As a result of the pregnancy, cows secrete high levels of estrogen into their milk.” Source: Janowski T., ‘Mammary Secretion Of Estrogens In The Cow’, Domest. Anim. Endocrinol. 2002 Jul; 23(1-2): 125-37.
The simple solution is to avoid all kinds of dairy milk. Instead, use non-dairy milk which is widely available from supermarkets. Avoiding dairy milk has a dramatic and beneficial effect on your overall health. You can make your own delicious and super-nutritious non-dairy milk quickly and easily. This will save you money and be much better for health.
