Dairy Disaster
Think milk does a young body good? Think again. Mother cows produce milk for one reason―to feed their own babies. Giving dairy products to human youngsters is unnatural and unhealthy. For one thing, cow’s milk contains proteins that may cause or aggravate a variety of conditions in infants, toddlers, and older children. Furthermore, the American Academy of Pediatricians found that “infants fed whole cow’s milk receive inadequate amounts of [v]itamin E, iron, essential fatty acids, and excessive amounts of protein, potassium, and sodium.”30
Digestive Distress
Giving cow’s milk to your infant can lead to an upset stomach, diarrhea, and crying. Switching from formulas that are based on cow’s milk to soy-based formulas often eliminates the discomfort. Even breast-fed babies may develop digestive problems if their mothers consume dairy products. A study published in the journal Pediatrics shows that the proteins in cow’s milk are transferred to babies through their mothers’ breast milk.31
Obesity and Other Disorders
Stomachaches are only the beginning of the problems that your kids may face if you give them dairy products. Milk consumption can contribute to asthma, canker sores, constipation, recurrent ear infections, iron deficiency, and anemia. Learn more about the detrimental effects that dairy products can have on your kids’ health.
Consuming dairy products can also make kids overweight. There is a reason why dairy products are so fattening―they’re packed with fat and calories. In fact, calves can gain almost 500 pounds by the time they are weaned from their mothers. The empty fat and sugar calories in cow’s milk will add to your child’s waistline and will detract from his or her health. Learn more about the link between dairy-product consumption and obesity.
On the other hand, fruits, vegetables, and soy products are all kid-friendly and rich in calcium, but they don’t come with all the calories and the adverse health effects that are associated with dairy products. Plus, despite what the powerful dairy industry lobby may claim, scientists have shown that the calcium in plant-based sources is more easily absorbed by human bodies than is the calcium in cow’s milk. In fact, drinking milk may actually weaken our bones! Ironically, American women have one of the highest rates of dairy-product consumption in the world, yet they also suffer from osteoporosis more frequently than any other group.32
A study funded by the U.S. National Dairy Council found that women who drank three glasses of milk a day for two years actually lost bone mass at twice the rate of women who did not drink milk.33 Furthermore, the Harvard Nurses’ Health Study confirmed that women who received the majority of their calcium from dairy foods also suffered more broken bones than women who did not drink milk.34 Research has clearly shown that children should avoid milk and should fill up on calcium-rich plant foods to build strong bones. Learn more about the link between dairy-product consumption and weak bones.
Got Diabetes?
The consumption of cow’s milk has also been implicated in the development of diabetes; in fact, more than 90 studies have been devoted to the link between the protein in dairy products and the development of insulin-dependent diabetes.35 Scientists suspect that infants’ immune systems produce antibodies that attack the cow’s milk protein because it is foreign to the human body―frighteningly, these antibodies also attack the human pancreas.36 The damaged pancreas no longer produces insulin; this means that children who have this condition will be required to receive daily shots of insulin. A study published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition showed that while milk can trigger diabetes in babies, fruits and vegetables actually lower our risk of developing this disease.

yes..i like fontina
i love cheese! to bad it gives me bloating and gas...o well crack open the windows cuz i want some cheese!
heck yes!! cheese is the uber animal byproduct. manchego is my personal fav!
low fat cheese is good for you.
Its delicious. So many to choose from for so many dishes.
Cheese is awesome.. especially smoked cheddar and sliced pepperjack..
Pepperjack is!
Yup...but if you've never tried it, go for some smoked Gouda, or Colby, those are tasty but mild, some cheeses have a very strong flavor or odor and might not appeal to the cheese "noob."
YEAH
Cheese is great...especially pepper jack.
in my opinion no i think cheese is nasty but hey everyone is different!
yes, it tastes like...like solid cream..apetizing...
It is very good...if you are asking, I'm betting you are a vegan. I understand and respect these beliefs, but it really causes the animal no harm to take dairy products...
yes!!! cheese is awesome! there are so many different ones to choose from.
cheese is used on everything!
cheese is very good its healthy too
not for you
Cheese is great unless you are trying to maintain a small waistline.
Yes it does a body good in a more solidified way. Got Cheese?
Yes, but it has a lot of fat, so choose a low-fat kind and don't go crazy eating it. Cheese and mustard sandwiches are really good. In fact, you should go have one right now!
Cheese also is made with a lot of salt. Choose a brand with the least salt, unless you wan problems later. Yogurt is probably better for you than cheese
""As well most vegetarians remain eating cheese which boggles me, but I found most don't understand outside of the cruelty involved in milking process..the cheese making process still includes additional animal byproducts. The worst of them is rennet.
Definitions of rennet:
noun: a substance that curdles milk in making cheese and junket
1. the lining membrane of the fourth stomach of a calf or of the stomach of certain other young animals.
3. a preparation or extract of the rennet membrane, used to curdle milk, as in making cheese, junket, etc.
n. An enzyme that catalyzes the coagulation of milk, found in the gastric juice of the fourth stomach of young ruminants and used in making cheeses and junkets. Also called chymosin, rennet.
Just some various definitions of rennet. Most all cheeses on the market save for perhaps freshly made mozerella use animal rennet. With this being said you'd be unable to make cheeses in mass production scenarios such as our society uses...without slaughtering the cows afterwords. ""
Its good but u have to watch how much u intake.
Yes, cheese is awsome and u can buy all different kinds like guda, cheddar, mozerella.
Maybe for a baby calf but I don't eat food meant for the children of other species.
I eat animal rennet free cheese 2-3 times a week. I melt shredded reduced fat cheddar over`veggies or use chesse in baked ziti.
When I was just veggie, I used to think cheese was all right, liked it on my jacket spuds.
When I went vegan, went on the vegan cheeses (some are yuck, some are seriously good like Cheezly by Redwoods Foods), I would look at people putting cheese on their food and feel a bit nauseous.
Imagine a cheese made from a woman's breast milk (as mentioned in the Borat film!). Would you eat that? Probably not, and that'd be more natural to you than eating a cheese from the breast milk of a foreign species like a cow or a goat. Someone would eat stringy cheese on pizza, but ask them to eat some congealed stringy breast milk from a woman's boob and they look at you like you're insane ;-)
Plus the pus and blood cell stuff in milk... that really turns my stomach, as does the saturated fat. Some cheese uses animal rennet, and isn't safe for vegetarians. In the UK, most cheeses are safe, though (not sure about the US, anyone?).
