Milk

[schellen]

Observer:

Today morning I read - \"Milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially in the gastro-intestinal tract. Cancer feeds on mucus. By cutting off milk and substituting with unsweetened soya milk, cancer cells are being starved.\" from a forwarded email on \"The Best cancer article\" quoting John Hopkins.


No intention to scare anyone.

My DH and I found out that if you have a cough/cold/flu with phlegm, best is to stop drinking milk (hot or cold) until it clears cos something inside milk will produce more phlegm. Probably is linked to the mucus thing but in the airways instead?

This also includes all dairy products so when our DD is sick, we stop her intake of dairy completely and so far her recovery is faster. As for me, I always physically feel more horrible (nose stuck more often, throat more irritated) when I take dairy when sick so I automatically avoided them till I recovered. And this was before my DH found out about this.

Very simple - lactose in the milk, which is a sugar, feeds the bacteria that is in your throat during a flu/cough. This causes phelgm to multiply.


Thus, whenever you are coughing badly , and esp., if you have a wet cough, avoid dairy products.


BTW, according to the Blood Type diet, type B blood type people thrive on dairy products.

I hate powdered milk! I hate plain milk! (didn't i mentioned that already earlier in pg 1? )

The first pregnancy, after a few rounds of Dumex, I switched to Choc Fresh Milk.
The second pregnancy, intending to start 'afresh', I got mysef a tin of Annum. After a few rounds, I switch back to Choc Fresh Milk.
My ds1 (P1) hates plain milk, so we switch to Choc Dugro after he turns 1. Even now, he can hardly stomach a cup of milk... he said he'll vomit :roll: if he drank anymore.
My ds2 (26mth old) loves plain powdered milk (gave him a sip of his bro's choc dugro and he goes 'YUCKS!'), and I hope to keep it this way. He can drink up to 450ml of milk before bedtime.
Maybe thanks to milk, for height, ds2 is under the 97th percentile while ds1 hovers between 50-75th percentile.

So, any type of sugar (in excessive amounts) is bad when you have phlegm. That's why \"old people\" always say when kids have coughs, cannot drink sift drinks, cannot eat sweets, etc.

Yucks! Anmum is super horrible. I almost spat it out and didn't even finish my first cup. Luckily, it was only a sample sachet. I stuck to fresh milk and low-salt cheese during pregnancy.

You DS2 in same percentile as my DD. When she was that age, her height almost got her classified as underweight as she was very slim. She ate a lot and had very big appetite (even now) but somehow, always so slim. Must be like me. (And if she remains like me, once she gets much older, she will go pear-shaped. Sigh....)

Heyya sashimi,


Then, breasfeeding mothers shud have
100% fresh milk tatooed on our chest!!
Yeah!

Waaaayyy fresher than cow's milk and
confirmed melamine free. Heheheh..

HAhahaha, I will NOT make any jokes about plastic surgery.

buds:

Btw, i think its great that you're so involved
with how your DD is raised.

Just saw your post - thank you. I have to admit, one reason is that when I was a little boy, my dad was totally hands-off. But he is still a very decent, dutiful man. But I have no memory of him as a child. i decided not to do this to my DD.



Ok back to milk, I have a question for anyone..... what is the best, fastest way to warm up fresh milk from the fridge? I'm not into microwaving for this.

So leh jeh to set up + yet another thing to wash + doesn't that take a while to warm up also? I need something that warms up fast without spoiling the taste.

I feed my gal fresh goat milk ( http://www.haydairies.com.sg/ ). Some of those off the shelve milk may not be suitable for kids as some have calcium additive and other stuff. My the other kid, something he will get stomachache drinking some formula milk, so usually switch between different brand frequently in case some of the brand got problem.
