Benefit to whom?

dairy products are linked to allergies, arthritis, heart disease, cataracts, colitis, etc. the risk of ovarian cancer is three times greater among dairy users. the cells lining the small intestine produce excess mucus as an allergic reaction to dairy products, coating the walls of the the tube and preventing the absorption of essential nutrients, including calcium. also, milk neutralizes stomach acidand thus inhibits digestion. the dairy industry's advertising csmpaigns have succeeded, alas, in convincing most of us that dairy products are a good source of calcium. since dairy products inhibit digestion and absorption of calcium, they cause calcium deficiencies and increase the risk of osteoporosis. that's just a little bit about dairy products, i recommend reading the book written by madeline goulard "simple foods"
