Seems harmless, even a rich, healthy food, but do you know exactly what you're taking when you take a glass of cow's milk? Among the components of cow's milk, casein is at very high rates,a substance that in the body has severe consequences: Casein coagulates in the stomach and form lumps very difficult to digest; certainly it helps in the formation of bone and teeth, but is only indicated for the calves, who have a fit stomach (four cavities) to digest without problem. Casein is used in industry to make adhesives that are used in carpentry, for the same reason, every time you take milk cows, you are giving your body a viscous substance that hardens in the intestines, preventing, blocking and hindering the assimilation of nutrients and eliminating waste toxic agents.

Our stomach is not suitable to consume cow milk

There's a lot of propaganda, many people and doctors specializing in nutrition recommend and insist that cow milk is consumed because it contains protein and calcium, they ensure it is "indispensable" to the needs of the organism. However, one must know that our stomach is not suitable for this food. There are two enzymes, renin and lactase, which are responsible for breaking down and digest cow's milk. These enzymes, in almost all human beings, stop appearing at the three years. When the milk enters the body and cannot find those enzymes, it happens that the stomach has to make considerable efforts to digest, and, despite its enormous work for the food is absorbed, it does not work at all, so the milk is is attached in the intestines as a kind of pulp difficult to remove. Over time, these adhesions are fermented, dried, become a kind of crust that, over the years, results in numerous severe diseases, among which are thyroid problems, diabetes, any allergies, intolerance to certain food, excess mucus and phlegm, cough and colds, etc.
