Organic Milk
Like organically grown foods, equally it is important to use organic milk from cows that are grown on organic foods and not injected with hormones and antibiotics. Cows are fed now with animal feed which most of the time are made from the carcass ( the leftover of cow's unused organs in slaughter house). The organs of cow ranging from intestines to blood, brain etc are dried and powdered and mixed with corn or soy and formulated as animal feed. See approved such things to be added in cattle feed. See this link.
This animal feed is doubted to be the cause of mad cows disease, because cow's brain is dried and added to the cow's feed. So do not use non-organic milk which is produced in this unhealthy and pitiable manner. It is a pity that we force a vegetarian animal to ingest it's own body flesh. It is as good as given dried human body flesh to mothers to boost their milk production to feed their babies. What an obnoxious practice of milk production and how we thoughtless we are following this way of life style.
Milk from tortured cows
Instead of allowing animals to freely graze their movements are restricted in big diary industry are reared in crowded conditions. Since cows are in close contact and are not freely roaming, to prevent infections these cows receive high amounts of anti-biotics. These antibiotics easily find way into our body though cow's milk. This is most unhygienic way of milk production.
Torturing of animals in diary industry is common. When the cow is delivering, the calf is pulled using nylon ropes so that the cow does not get a chance to lick and fondle the new born calf. The reason is that the cow psychologically depends on the calf for producing milk. So the cows are manipulated to secrete milk without any emotions.
Restaurant waste in Animal feed. The most shocking aspect is the use of restaurant waste , especially the charred debri in oil frying. This is not wasted instead used as Animal feed. This toxic chemicals comes to our body when we drink milk of these cows. Darling International Inc., the largest in the United States, converts to restaurant waste oil to animal feed, or any of a range of other products, from soap to shampoo to dynamite.
Millions of chicken, turkey, cows, pigs are butchered every day. In USA alone, more than 15,000 TONS of the feather , bones, blood, head, brain, intestines are not wasted. They are all grounded to powder and used as animal feed. This means the cattle, pigs, chicken , Fish and turkey all eat each others meat. Humans finally end eating them or use the diary products of Cattle.
So think twice about buying non-organic cow's milk. Not all organic milk is good. Check and find whether they are grass fed and never animal-feed fed. Call up the companies and insist they should be certified. Only when consumers demand we can make our food supply quality one.

In summary, our results show that A1 form of cow milk has a proinflammatory effect on the lung resulting in phenotype closely matching with the typical allergic asthma phenotype. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7228999/
Subjects who consumed milk containing only A2 β-casein had significantly less severe gastrointestinal symptoms as measured by visual analog scales, reduced stool frequency, and improvements in stool consistency, compared with subjects consuming conventional milk. There were significant increases from baseline in serum interleukin-4, immunoglobulins G, E, and G1, and beta-casomorphin-7 coupled to lower glutathione levels, in subjects consuming conventional milk compared with milk containing only A2 β-casein. Subtle Cognitive Impairment Test analysis showed significant improvements in test accuracy after consumption of milk containing only A2 β-casein. There were no severe adverse events related to consumption of either milk product.
Following muscle-damaging exercise, ingestion of 500 mL of A2 or regular milk can limit decrements in dynamic muscle function in male athletes, thus hastening recovery and improving subsequent performance. The findings propose A2 milk as an ergogenic aid following EIMD, and may offer an alternative to athletes intolerant to the A1 protein.
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a condition characterized by the inability to develop or maintain erection of the penis.
Ayurveda recommends vanari gutika, prepared from Mucuna pruriens as one of the products suggested for the management
of sexual dysfunction. We were interested to validate and compare aphrodisiac potential of vanari gutika formulated, as per
the principles of Ayurveda, using milk obtained from jersey cow (Bos taurus), indigenous cow (Bos indicus) and buffalo
(Bubalus bubalis). In order to assess the aphrodisiac activity, Swiss Albino mice were used as experimental subjects
(n = 6 animals per group) with oral administration of aforesaid three formulations of vanari gutika with different doses i.e.,
8.56 mg/mL, 17.14 mg/mL and compared with standard sildenafil citrate (5 mg/kg) and vehicle (milk+ghee) for
7 consecutive days. Animals were observed for mating behavior. Hormonal analysis, sperm count and histopathological
studies were carried out to confirm physiological changes. The study exhibit marked changes in sexual behavior. Vanari
gutika formulated using milk from indigenous cow at higher dose (17.14 mg/mL) showed significant increase in mounting
frequency, hormone levels, sperm count and histopathology which revealed the ruptured seminiferous tubules. These
investigations confirmed significant intensification of sexual activities in experimental animals.

Ghee
Ghee is made by simmering unsalted butter in a large earthern pot until all the water has been evaporated off. The clarified butter is then spooned off to avoid disturbing the protein precipitates on the bottom of the pot. In Ayurvedic system of medicine, ghee is used in the preparation of a number of formulations for treating allergy, skin, and respiratory diseases and is considered to induce many beneficial effects on human health.
Several studies now show that conjugated ndiers. Conjugated Linolenic acids(CLA) to read Linolenic acids (CLA) has many health benefits, most important being an anti-cancer agent. CLA is present in Ghee and more than just plain milk because studies shows that heating milk actually increases CLA content.
Ghee is an integral part of the practice of Ayurvedic herbal formulation. Many research studies shows presence of fat is vital for absorption of many phyto-nutrients. Since ghee is a fat, it binds with many fat-soluble nutrients , phyto-nutrients and active components of many herbs and facilitates the absorption and thereby increase the potency of herbs. This is why in Indian tradition every day one teaspoon of ghee is mixed while eating food . many phyto-nutrients are absorbed better because of the presence of ghee. More than any fat, ghee has unique solubility nature and so does a better job than any other oil. This is why it is wise to consume inspite of its saturated fatty acid content.
Ghee is smoothening to the stomach by quenching stomach acid, and helps maintain and repair the mucus lining of the stomach. This can be seen externally by its topical application preventing blisters and scarring if applied quickly to damaged skin.
Ghee prepared in modern days are not healthy. Ghee should be boiled in earthern pots and not in metal vessels because it will be prone to oxidation quickly and the oxidized fat of ghee is dangerous to the body. Our ancient scholars had deep insight and hence recommended addition of powerful anti-oxidants during the preparation of ghee. Example tumeric powder or curry leaves were added to prevent rancidity of ghee.
Ghee also was prepared by churning the fermented milk (yogurt). Fermenting milk releases many rare fatty-acids and nutrients that is not present from butter that is prepared from cream. Cream based butter is bad for health. Even in Lord Krishna eats the cream-based-butter, he would fall sick. So use butter that is churned from yogurt.
All cholesterol problems comes the use of Ghee prepared from milk that comes from cows that are fed animal-meat-based-animal-feed. Animal feed contain the butchered and dried blood and carcass of animals.
"The interesting thing is that dairy cattle that graze produce higher amounts of CLA in their milk than those which receive conserved feed, such as grain, hay, and silage," says Agricultural Research dairy scientist Larry Satter.
Buy ghee made from organic un-homogenized fermented yogurt.
Be aware of
Ghee made just by uncultured butter is not good, when compared to traditional method of fermenting milk and then curding it and getting butter and making ghee. See this work.http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4061595/

Homogenized Milk
Homogenization of milk is bad for health
When the food producers ruthlessly focus on profits it takes a heavy toll on public health. In olden days, water was use to adulterate milk and that was the only way the public was fooled but it did not harm their health. However now, the milk producers to increase the shelf life of milk , homogenize milk. Homogenization means to break the fat and protein molecules into smaller pieces. This prevented the milk from getting spoiled and so can be in the market for more days than un-homogenized milk. But the ignorant consumers are not aware of the fact that the fat molecules and protein sizes are altered and so the body tends to put more fat.
We have observed personally that drinking homogenized milk puts more fat into the body in a unhealthy way. There is more than putting fat with homogenized milk. For more than 20 years Kurt A. Oster, MD, chief of cardiology emeritus at Park City Hospital, Bridgeport, Connecticut, has gathered evidence that provides a conclusive biochemical explanation for atherosclerosis (a form of arteriosclerosis, plaque clogging arteries). The culprit turns out to be the process of homogenization, introduced to the dairy industry in 1932 as a means of improving marketing for products.
Homogenization merely prevents the cream from separating from the milk. This is primarily cosmetic. It does nothing to enhance the quality of the milk. But according to Dr. Oster's findings, it does a great deal to improve marketability - at the expense of human life. Homogenization increases the shelf-life of the milk by compromising our health.
Through homogenization, fat molecules in milk become smaller and become "capsules" for substances that bypass digestion. Proteins that would normally be digested in the stomach or gut are not broken down, and are absorbed into the bloodstream. With homogenization, milk becomes a very powerful and efficient way of bypassing normal digestive processes and delivering steroid and protein hormones to the human body.
The homogenization process breaks up an enzyme in milk (xanthine oxidase), which in its altered (smaller) state can enter the bloodstream and react against arterial walls causing the body to protect the area with a layer of cholesterol. The Connecticut cardiologists discovered that Bovine Xanthene Oxidase (BXO) survived long enough to compromise every one of three hundred heart attack victims over a five-year period.Their findings were confirmed, and published in 1981 in the Proceedings of the Society for Experimental Biology and Medicine (vol. 163:1981):
Insulin-like growth factor (IGF-I) had not been discovered when Oster and Ross made their magnificent observations and conclusions. IGF-I has been identified as the key factor in the growth of every human cancer. Homogenized milk, with its added hormones, is rocket fuel for cancer.
This applies also to all milk products like butter, cheese, panneer, yogurt etc made from homogenized milk. So think twice about buying non-organic cow's milk.

Hormones in Milk
Hormones are injected to cows to boost milk production. We should not forget that these hormones get into our body too through the cow's milk. There are lot of research showing alarming rates of pesticide residues even in mother's milk. Imagine then the chemicals in cow's milk that are fed with GMO crops and feed grown using chemical fertilizers and pesticides. These chemicals naturally are concentrated in the cow's milk and enter into our body. (GMO foods causes cancer).
Milk is the essence of mother's body. Nature has planned in such a way to concentrate all nutrients in milk to give nourishment to the baby. If the mother cow or human mother eats all these toxic foods, naturally the toxins would go to the baby's body in a concentrated form. The chemistry of the body is that fat soluble compounds get dissolved into the fat of the milk. Unfortunately most of the chemical toxins are fat soluble and so are rich in fat. Naturally, toxic levels of these pesticides are high in butter and cheese. Remember to buy only organic and organic cheese to avoid toxic chemicals getting into your body.
Should we boil milk or not?
According to Ayurveda, milk should be boiled and used. Pasteurization is only heating to 58 to 60 degrees and not boiling and so only partially kills the microbes. It is also unhealthy to use stored half warmed milk. The best is to use un-pasteurized milk, but boil it and then use it. Boiling not only kills microbes but also inactivates hormones and also alters the structure of milk ingredients and might be not unhealthy to the body. Milk should be boiled and used especially children. Boiling milk de-activates many hormones of the cow’s milk which is meant only for the calf’s body and not human body. We use diary for its protein and fat and not for the animal hormones.
Digestion
Boiling may be better from the point of view of protein denaturation, which will not happen with raw milk or pastuerized milk.
Proteins (also other macro-molecules) occur in a folded nature called native form (raw) and when heated (cooked) expose out the folded regions.
Some enzymes can digest the folded forms and others cannot. This is why human enzymes digest cooked food better than uncooked food. Our enzymes digest protein with a particular protein molecular configuration (shape)...which might be more efficient in denatured form boiled) rather than native form (raw).
Calf enzymes will digest raw milk proteins (native form) rather than denatured form (boiled).
This is from an enzyme-biochemistry aspect.
Parents who do not know science in a holistic manner give children cow's pastuerized milk directly from fridge without boiling. Read this link to know that this damages health a lot. without boiling.
A write up on A1/A2 and devil in milk you tube. Indian cow milk is better for health because of A2 protein.
We see many Indian families who gave given up the traditional Indian practice of boiling milk out of ignorance and laziness. We have progressed in a such a way of losing holistic view.
Boiling milk and also fermented with Indian yogurt makes cows milk safe and medicine for human health. This study shows the insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) is destroyed in milk fermentation. Studies have shown that decreased levels of IGF lead to decreased growth of existing cancer cells and decreased aging etc and so yogurt is better than milk.
Raw milk or pastuerized milk is digested differently by our gut microbes. Even modern scientists are not aware of this. Ayurveda is very clear about this. Hope somebody will do research on this now for modern educated people (20th Jan 2015).
Several studies now show that Conjugated Linolenic acids (CLA) (click- I accept to the link in the end of the page) to read Linolenic acids (CLA) has many health benefits, most important being an anti-cancer agent. CLA is content increases by heating milk rather decreases, which supports the traditional Indian way of boiling milk and using. This research publication shows that boiling milk by microwave significantly (click download when you click) reduces CLA content and also the milk powder reconstitution also reduces CLA content.
We suffer from diseases more by ignoring traditional holistic view and adopting modern fragmented knowledge .

Organic Food - 2
Organic foods are costly
This is what every one thinks. But the truth is different. Look at our observation from kitchen. We observed that when we make spice-mix powder, we have to use a pound of coriander seed powder grown with pesticides and chemical fertilizers. To get the same spice level (taste and quality), we have to use only one fourth the amount of coriander seed powder grown organically. If you compare the cost, organic coriander seed powder cost three times than the non-organic one, but the net usage is less and so in fact we save dollars by using organic spices. If the aromatic and flavoring nutrients levels in spices are obviously higher in organic coriander seeds, then think about other medicinal and nutrient levels that are high in organic foods?. There are several research studies that support our observation that organically grown foods have higher nutrient content.
You might be buying apples, tomatoes, rice, nuts by half or three times the price of organic foods, but in reality you are spending more money for less nutrients. So health wise and economically organic foods are in-comparably superior to non-organic ones. We also observe that 99% of the organic mung beans sprouted, while less than 60% of the mung beans purchased from Indian stores only sprouted. This also shows that the viability of the foods, which might be due to the treatment the seeds receive when they are imported to USA to prevent bugs. Several chemical and (radiation?) treatments are given to imported foods in the name of maintaining quality.
More holistic awareness
The next reason is the holistic awareness in organic food production. Instead of treating foods just as machines that produce foods, organic producers have awareness about nature and consider food crops, the soil organisms, farm animals as and humans as part of nature. This holistic view makes organic food production holistic and healthy and everlasting.
