The hollistic counselor that I recently had a consultation with had some interesting advice for me. She recommended that I buy organic dairy/milk based products. She was telling me about milk production and how it impacts health and development. In order for cows to produce enough milk to meet demand, they have to keep in a constant state of faux pregnancy, so to accomplish this they are give hormones. In addition they are kept in very small, not so sanitary quarters, so to ward of disease and other maladies they are given a constant cocktail of antibiotics. So the combination hormones and antibiotics get all mixed up in the final milk product. Truth is I think I knew much of this information, probably many of you do as well. But it was in that moment that it hit home for me.
Hormones + antibiotics = 8 year old girls with breasts.
Hormones + antibiotics = 9 year old girls with periods or 9 year old boys with pubic hair and mustaches.
Symptoms like these are being talked about everyday in our community but I'm not sure what we are really doing to educate ourselves. I don't know if I'm going to return to eating dairy regularly(still in the middle of my 7 day dairy fast), but I think that for the kids, its time to start buying organic. I want my 7 yr. old daughter to have as much childhood as she can before she has to be concerned about her "visitor" once a month.
Maybe I will have another opinion to share soon...Be well.

I started buying it about two years ago. My younger sister, who is vegan
