The case against the homegenization of dairy milk for human consumption

Tis only Human Beings
That consume milk after weaning
When we exchanged our milk teeth
with the Tooth Fairy the meaning
Was really insignificant
Nutrition didn’t play
a part in the transaction
Sadly, I have to say

Lactase, is an intestinal enzyme
Put there so our bodies can digest
Lactose, as we age though it diminishes
And actually we’re not then at our best
Reaching into Middle Age
A prevalence appears
An intolerance to Lactose
into our later years

Bovine Milk designed for calves
Has undergone a lot
squeezed out of an udder
Have we lost the plot!
Pasteurization hailed to be
A refinement of our Time
A process that was necessary
one that saw sales climb

Upwards in the ratings
With its layer of thick cream
Which separated on the top
Milk was then supreme
The ideal food for infants
With nutrients they need
Designed for their precocial young
So where does all this lead?

Human Beings are like primates
Altricial, helpless souls
And feeding them on food designed
for Ungulates sees holes
Opening in nutrition
Human milk v Cows
its so completely different
With very different powers

The Calf for instance walks
Away directly after birth
It needs the kinds of minerals
to increase bone and girth
Its brain is not as prominent
so taking this on board
Can alter our perception
and question the reward

It wastes a lot of energy
For the interface requires
A very small percentaqge
The rest lost in the mires
coverted into heat from friction
de-naturing the food
They then exchanged the bottle
And the carton did exclude
Evidence of cream that raised our expectations high
Dispersal could eliminate
this reason to ask why

Sort of surreptitiously the label
drew a blank
they’d done the deed
Oh! yes indeed
But we didn’t know who
to thank
Xanthine Oxidase indeed
a culprit
Initially it injured us alas
The vascular endothelium
was damaged
Cholestrol built up tragically
en masse
Xanthine Oxidase in fact
was toxic
Enter Kurt A Oster
and Hope Ross
Zikakis, Dressel, Silver
and the others
40 years research
And I’m at a loss

Milk has seen its power
consigned to others
The door step seller
lost for evermore
The Supermarkets took the churn
and packaged it
And milk men do not leave
at the door
Homogenized milk
40 years ago to-day
would not have been the
choice of my Mama
You couldn’t sell it
if you couldn’t see it
It just shows
how more gullible we are!

Drinking Bovine Milk
Has been a factor
Another 40 years on
might well see
Atherosclerosis at an
all time high
Organic drinkers
suffering appreciably
For Parents now have
taken on Organic
For BSE and Foot & Mouth
did bring
many to their senses
sensible defences
Organic Milk
was truly going to bring

All thats best into
our Infants daily
The calcium destroyed
but not the sin
the fat destroyed
it never could again reform
the process in a nutshell
had worn thin
And so the Big Boys
moved they re-designed it
they sold it
from great chillers
all piled high
the Public a bit cow like
from the nutrients
and very few stood back
to question why

Tis only Human Beings
that consume milk
after weaning, and go
on to buy
gallons of it drinking
without meaning
Re- think what you now do
and please consider
organically raised
animals are thought
to now supply
the healthiest nutrition
Thats why so much
Organic Milk is bought
The problem it may not be true
Or better
feed it to the calf
the outcome will
stun you for this creature
born to drink it
will lay down
and refuse to climb the hill
