|
17) Please read the following statements carefully. Which ONE
is NOT true?
|
|
|
a) Countries with the highest rates of osteoporosis, such as
the United States, England, and Sweden, consume the most
milk. China and Japan, where people eat much less protein
and dairy food, have low rates of osteoporosis.
b) Osteoporosis is caused by a number of things, one of the
most important being too much dietary protein. Dietary
protein increases production of acid in the blood which
isneutralized by calcium mobilized from the skeleton.
Increasing one’s protein intake by 100% may cause calcium
loss to double.
c) Data from the 12-year Harvard study of 78,000 women
indicate that women consuming greater amounts of calcium
from dairy foods had significantly increased risks of hip
fractures, while no increase in fracture risk was observed
for the same levels of calcium from nondairy sources.
d) American women have been consuming an average of two
pounds of milk per day for their entire lives, yet thirty
million American women have osteoporosis. Therefore,
drinking milk prevents bone loss.

processes including chemical and municipal waste
incineration. These compounds penetrate the environment via
air, water and soil and are then incorporated in food
chains. The level of dioxin in a single serving of the Ben &
Jerry’s World’s Best Vanilla Ice Cream tested was almost 200
times greater than the safe daily dose determined by the
Environmental Protection Agency. What did Ben Cohen of Ben &
Jerry’s fame have to say regarding dioxins?
|
|
|
a) "Our containers are environmentally friendly, and dioxin-
free, so just dump the ice cream, and eat the container."
b) "I just had quadruple bypass heart surgery. Please put
your question in writing, and I’ll have my staff get back to
you."
c) "We never realized you'd be supremely nuts to continue
eating our Natural Nutty-Nuts Supreme Surprise."

India, and 85% of the samples contained pesticides levels
above human tolerance limits.
c) The pesticides chlordane and heptachlor cause cancer, harm
the immune system and are endocrine disruptors. Dairy cattle
in Oahu were fed pineapple leaves containing heptachlor
residues. As a result, the local milk and dairy supply
remained contaminated for years.
d) According to the National Fluid Milk Processors, no
pesticide residues have ever been found in milk and dairy
products.

21) Which of the following statements did not appear in the
British medical journal Lancet?
|
|
|
a) Hypersensitivity to milk is implicated as a cause of
sudden death in infancy.

inflammatory responses suggesting violent allergic reactions
to a foreign protein. Lung tissue and cells showed responses
similar to bronchial wall inflammation in asthma.
c) Those who consumed cows milk were fourteen times more
likely to die from diarrhea-related complications and four
times more likely to die of pneumonia than were breast-fed
babies. Intolerance and allergy to cow's milk products is a
factor in sudden infant death syndrome.
d) Children under the age of two years who consume more that
one-pint of fortified brandy before going to bed are prone
to sudden infant death.

23) Children are taught in first grade that Vitamin D is the
"sunshine vitamin." Vitamin D is a steroid hormone and is
synthesized in one's body after skin is exposed to sunlight.
Which statement about vitamin D is NOT true?
|
|
|
a) Adults need 10-15 minutes of sunlight, two or three times
a week to ensure proper Vitamin D levels.
b) Vitamin D is toxic in overdose. Consuming as little as 45
micrograms of Vitamin D-3 in young children has resulted in
signs of overdose. Testing of 10 samples of infant formula
revealed seven with more that twice the Vitamin D content
reported on the label, one of which had more than four times
the label amount.
c) Vitamin D increases aluminum absorption, and high aluminum
levels in the body may cause an Alzheimer's-like disease.
d) If boys and girls do not drink milk with Vitamin D added,
when they turn 40, their bones will become brittle, and
break, and they'll need hip replacement surgery.

|
|
24) What has NOT been identified as a cause of acne?
|
|
|
a) Acne occurs when steroids (androgens) stimulate the
sebaceous glands within the skin's hair follicles. These
glands then secrete an oily substance called sebum. When
sebum, bacteria and dead skin cells build up on skin, the
pores become blocked, creating acne.
b) About 80 percent of cows that are giving milk are pregnant
and are throwing off hormones continuously. Progesterone
breaks down into androgens, which have been implicated as
factor in the development of acne. Hormones found in cow's
milk include: Estradiol, Estriol, Progesterone, prolactin,
and oxytocin.
c) The Journal of Endocrinology studied the effects of growth
hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factors (IGF-1) , alone
and with androgen, on sebaceous epithelial cell growth. IGF-
I was the most potent stimulus of DNA synthesis,
contributing to the increase in sebum production during
puberty.
d) Acne is caused by frogs, sugar, snails, spice, puppy dog
tails, and everything nice.

|
|
25) What is NOT true about the vegetarian NOTMILK lifestyle?
|
|
|
a) According to the Journal of the American Dietetic
Association, there is a positive correlation between a
vegetarian diet and reduced risk for obesity, coronary
artery disease, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and cancer.
b) According to the British Medical Journal, vegetarians
often have lower mortality rates from several chronic
degenerative diseases than do non-vegetarians. Significant
athersclerosis is rare in peoples whose diet over the life
span is predominantly vegetarian and low in calories,
saturated fat, and cholesterol.
c) According to the Journal of the American Medical
Association, vegetarian diets low in fat or saturated fat
have been used successfully as part of comprehensive health
programs to reverse severe coronary artery disease.
d) Vegans live an average of two decades less than meat-
eaters and milk drinkers which is just fine with carnivores,
who are saved from having to listen to twenty or more years
of irritating lecturing, preaching, and bragging.

SCORE YOUR TEST RESULTS
Let's make this process really simple, shall we? D is the
correct answer for all 25 multiple-choice questions. D as
in "duh." Unfortunately, there might be some of you who
have been drinking cow's milk since childhood, so you still
don't get it, and may never get it. Award yourself four
points for each correct response.
If you scored 88 or better, you are either a vegan (eat no
animal flesh and drink no body fluids) or a professional
cheesehead. You know milk issues like few people do. You
are to be congratulated for your wisdom!
If you scored between 72 and 84, you haven't been paying
attention to the real science contained in Milk A-Z. Go
back and study!
If you scored between 52 and 68, you've passed…barely, but
only because we're grading on a curve. Go sit by yourself
in a quiet little corner and repeat over and over again the
following mantra: “Pus with hormones and glue…pus with
hormones and glue…pus with hormones and glue.” Use this
visualization the next time you are tempted to slurp ice
cream, munch cheddar, or drown yourself in a tub of melted
butter.
If you scored below the 50th percentile, instruct your
attorney to re-write your last will and testament and leave
your estate to your doctors. They'll ultimately end up with
most of your money, anyway. Heart disease claims the lives
of nearly two out of three Americans, and cancers account
for one out of every three deaths. The average American
spends ten years dying from coronary-related events or
carcinomas. What you don't know about milk may kill you.
The healthy alternative? Discover the fountain of youth:
NOTMILK!
If you scored under 25, you've got very little hope
remaining. You are an udderly absurd excuse for a human,
and have earned the right to continue to consume body fluids
from diseased animals. If you are still ambulatory, treat
yourself to Domino's Pizza for dinner and slurp Ben and
Jerry's ice cream for dessert. Set your alarm clock for a
12-hour wake up call. This might be your last chance, so
pay attention to your body's signals. If your internal
sludge and congestion do not convince you, nothing ever
will.
