Why is dairy harmful? 🥛❌
Here are 9 reasons - backed by science, not opinion:
1️⃣ No fibre, high cholesterol & fat - raises triglycerides and contributes to obesity
2️⃣ Routinely contains pus from udder infections caused during milking
3️⃣ Fuels antibiotic resistance - 80% of antibiotics produced worldwide go into farm animals, including dairy cows
4️⃣ High pesticide residue - ICMR studied 50,000 Indian samples and found levels averaging 570x the permissible limit of HCH
5️⃣ May contain urea, added to prevent spoilage during transport - linked to chronic kidney disease
6️⃣ Disrupts hormones - natural and injected hormones (like oxytocin) are linked to infertility, PCOD, hypothyroidism, and reproductive cancers
7️⃣ Often adulterated - 65% of dairy in India isn't what it claims to be
8️⃣ Contains growth hormones meant to grow a calf to full size in 18 months - linked to human obesity
9️⃣ Contains cancer-promoting compounds like IGF-1, casein, and residual chemicals
