Eating clean, unprocessed foods is now a dangerous “cult,” declares idiotic mainstream media (with a little help from the dirty diary industry)

As more people are turning their back to dairy and other processed foods, the National Osteoporosis Society, subsidized by the milk industry, has now declared clean eating to be a dangerous “cult” and “ticking time bomb” that could leave young people with weak bones.
For decades, the milk industry has made us believe that milk is crucial for our health. Most of us have been brought up with the idea our teeth and bones will crumble if we don’t drink three big glasses of calcium-rich milk every day.
Though scientific research has linked milk consumption to cancer, diabetes, osteoporosis, multiple sclerosis, heart diseases, allergies, and a host of other diseases, governments and celebrity shills with thick milk mustaches keep telling us that milk is essential to our health. These celebrities, however, forget to tell you that they were paid to make these statements, hiding the dangers lurking behind these hip milk mustaches.
In their latest attempt to push antibiotic- and hormone-rich dairy products onto the people, the mainstream media is spreading fears to spook people into believing healthy dietary choices that reject processed foods are dangerous.
Of all the rumors the fake media, which depends on the advertising money of the dairy industry, has spit into the world, this one breaks all the records. Trying to convince people that eating fresh, whole foods is dangerous is just insane.

Fake media associates poor diet with clean food

People who avoid refined sugar, hormone- and antibiotic-laced milk, and pesticide-laden processed foods have been called “cultists” that jeopardize their health through fashionable diet trends.
“A cult of clean eating is a ‘ticking time bomb’ that could leave young people with weak bones,” the National Osteoporosis Society has warned. “The diets have become increasingly fashionable, and are associated with celebrities, who have boasted how they have cut out gluten, dairy, grains, and refined sugars,” read a recent article published by the Telegraph.
If we believe the National Osteoporosis Society’s survey and the Telegraph’s article — which is nothing more than a propaganda piece for the milk industry — then clean food and people or celebrities promoting this lifestyle are the bad guys, wreaking havoc on your health.
Speaking to the Telegraph, Professor Susan Lanham-New, Clinical Advisor to the National Osteoporosis Society and Professor of Nutrition at the University of Surrey, noted that if there is no urgent action taken to encourage young adults to incorporate all food groups into their diet and avoid clean eating regimes, we are facing a future where broken bones will become the norm.
And it is not just the Telegraph who has been bought by the milk industry to spread this lie. The fake claim has also made the headlines of many other news sources. They all spread the same message, saying dairy products are the best source of calcium and that young people who aren’t consuming substantial amounts of dairy products are putting themselves at risk of developing weak bones and osteoporosis later in life.
They even go as far as to blame social media, blogs, vlogs, and websites such as Natural News for spreading disinformation about dairy and promoting these so-called unhealthy, clean eating diets among the younger generation.
Don’t be fooled by these statements and headlines. Milk isn’t the best source of calcium out there. Many other foods contain as much or even more calcium than milk. Think of foods such as fish, nuts, seeds, leafy greens, and dairy alternatives fortified with calcium.

Easily dump dairy with these 7 modern substitutes

While health authorities still recommend people drink three glasses of milk a day to boost calcium levels and strengthen bones, more and more researchers are concluding that you might be better off ditching milk and dairy products altogether.
A study published in the British Medical Journal found that people who drank three or more glasses of milk a day did not show a decrease in bone fractures when compared with those who consumed less than one glass of milk a day. Furthermore, people who drank the most milk were twice as likely to die early.
While these findings are a good reason to give up milk, there are several other reasons why more people are seeking alternatives to dairy. About 75 percent of the world’s population can’t properly process the lactose in milk-based products, leading to bloating, gas, and diarrhea. In addition, two to three percent of children under three have a milk allergy. Lastly, with a growing concern of contaminants (antibiotics and hormones), and more people choosing an animal-friendly vegan or ovo-vegetarian diet, individuals that consume dairy are in decline.
If you go dairy-free, you will have to give up more than just milk. Here are seven great alternatives that may help you on your way.

1.      Milk substitutes

There is a wide variety of milk alternatives out there, including almond, oat, coconut, rice, hemp, cashew, and flax milk. The nutrient content of these dairy-free milk alternatives can vary substantially. Some are fortified with calcium, vitamin D, and vitamin B12 to mimic the nutrient content of regular milk, while others are packed with added sugars, flavor enhancers, and preservatives. Make sure to carefully read the food labels and pick the ones with the most nutrients and the least sugar and chemicals.

2.      Yogurt replacements

Yogurt is packed with gut-friendly bacteria that help promote good health. Going dairy-free doesn’t mean you must miss out on these gut boosting probiotics. Today, many grocery stores offer a variety of probiotic yogurts made from nut and seed milks that are cultured with live, active bacteria.

3.      Cheese substitutes

Just as regular cheese, you have soft and hard nondairy cheese. If you are a cream cheese lover, you’ll easily find soy- and nut-based versions that deliver a similar texture and taste. Hard cheeses are more challenging to make, but many companies have come up with dairy-free cheese alternatives that have a similar texture as regular cheese. If you are a Parmesan lover, nutritional yeast is an excellent, vitamin B12-rich substitute.

4.      Butter alternatives

Butter alternatives available today are either made from vegetable oils or coconut. Depending on the usage, you could also opt for nut and seed butters such as peanut, almond, or cashew butter.

5.      Cream substitutes

If you love creamy soups and sauces or regularly add cream to your tea or coffee, then you are lucky. Today, many grocery stores sell great-tasting nondairy alternatives to heavy cream, whipping cream, and coffee creamers. (Beware of partially hydrogenated oils used in coffee creamers, however.)

6.      Sour cream replacements

There is a wide variety of soy-based sour creams available on the market. If you are trying to avoid soy-based products, you might have to look a little bit longer to find a sour cream substitute. If you can’t find any, plain nondairy yogurt makes a good substitute in most recipes.

7.      Ice cream alternatives

As the temperatures rise in the northern hemisphere, many people are starting to look forward to a refreshing ice cream. Fortunately, there are many nondairy ice cream substitutes available today. These include nut and seed milk-based ice creams and fruit-based sorbets. Or why not try to make your own? Click here to get an amazing bee pollen ice cream recipe.
