About the Author
Robert Cohen performed research in the 1970's on the hormonal effects on the brain and behavior. Twenty-five years later, this father of three became concerned about the most controversial drug approval in FDA history, the genetically engineered hormone that is now in our milk supply. Along the way, Cohen discovered that milk is implicated in causing breast cancer, osteoporosis, heart disease, and chronic childhood illnesses. Cohen's skills as a researcher, and his passion for the safety of his family, led to his single-minded pursuit to expose the truth about milk. Based on his exhaustive and comprehensive research over the past six years, Cohen predicted the Mad Cow Disease outbreak. His dogged determination has set the American dairy industry on its ear. To insure that all citizens of the world learn the truth, Cohen founded and is executive director of America's Dairy Education Board, a group of nationally prominent doctors dedicated to dispelling the myth that milk is nature's perfect food.

Customer Reviews

Everyone who drinks or plan to drink milk should read this book, it will save your life.
We are told by the medical establishment that breast cancer is caused by unopposed estrogen, then we are also told by them that the single most important risk factor for breast cancer is age: the older you get (>40 yr), the more likely you will get breast cancer. Then how does it make sense? why would most patients get breast cancer (around menopause)at period of their lives when they have the lowest estrogen secretion? Here is the secret--when you approaching menopause, what your doctors would want you to do? -to drink more milk to prevent osteoporosis. Then the IGF-1 in the milk start to promote breast cells to grow.... Another note, the top 5 osteoporosis countries are also the countries that consume most of the dairy products. How does that make sense? You can only conclude that the milk mustache you see in the commercial everywhere is just like the Marlboro cowboy image 10 years ago.

You should read this book, it will save you lives. I truly admire Dr. Cohen, he is an American hero.

This Book--like milk itself--Poses Questions That Remain Unanswered
Robert Cohen is a researcher who has long been critical of milk and the milk industry. He notes that attacking milk is not unlike desecrating the American flag. Both are pop icons, but just as the flag is now seen as fair game by our courts for protected burning, now too has milk come under close scrutiny. Cohen claims that milk as a product is inherently unhealthy in that the more one drinks of it, the more calcium it leaches from our bones, thus intensifying the onset of bone-weakening diseases. This claim is controversial. How can the layman determine the truth of such a claim with certainty? The answer is that he cannot. The best that one can do when faced with conflicting claims by unprejudiced experts is to do one's own homework to get a sense of consensus. But science is not a democracy with the most votes holding sway. Common sense indicates that one ought not to place too much credence from anyone connected to the dairy industry. Cohen further claims that milk is made more harmful than it is with the addition of growth hormones and antibiotics fed to cows. A reasonable compromise for the potential consumer of milk is to drink only organic lactose free milk. Cohen muddles the issue with his criticisms of soy, a product that he lambasts but many other cultures and researchers insist is a very nearly perfect food. Here again, the best approach for the layman is to become self-educated on soy. This last comment I might add is the key to reading books like this one. MILK A--Z is a text that is a useful starting point, but its claims are controversial enough to warrant further reading. Thus, I give Cohen a marginal thumbs up.

Casein in milk causes cancer tumors to grow. Remove the casein and the tumors disappear.
You can verify this statement by reading "The China Study", a very important, ground-breaking book about the dangers of casein in dairy products. Rats fed normal amounts of casein ALL developed cancer tumors. When the casein was removed from their diet, all their cancer tumors disappeared. When casein was again added, the tumors showed up again. And rats with non-dairy diets lived 100% longer!
