I don't believe millk is healthy for you, it just got pushed by the farm industry for so many years that people take it for fact that is healthy.
While calcium and dairy can lower the risk of osteoporosis and colon cancer, high intake can increase the risk of prostate cancer and possibly ovarian cancer. -Havard School of Public Health.
You do know that the rBGH is the exact same hormone that is naturally in cows, right? Some cows naturally make high levels of this hormone, while others do not. All the rBGH is doing is replacing it on cows with low rBGH levels to make them equal with other cows. ALL milk has rBGH in it, and there physically is no way to tell if the cow made it, or it came from a shot. I am not a fan of it btw, simply because of the controversy. Btw, multiple states have banned it, including the third largest producer of milk.
Kids are hitting puberty at younger and younger ages as well, likely due to hormones, GMO, ect. in certain types of foods.
So because a hormone occurs naturally it's OK to give heightened amounts? I think that's how people go about gender change ... not sure I'd want that kind of milk haha. Of course I am being faceteous and don't really believe that, but it doesn't make it a good thing either. I like regular milk just fine, but I just prefer almond or soy milk. Although if we were meant to drink milk as adults the Native Americans wouldn't have had such a bad time with it. Europeans had built up a tolerance over the years. I'm sure the puss content is fine, and glad to hear that pus is not the same as puss, an easy enough misunderstanding.
Really you can do without milk. I get plenty of protein from eggs and chicken, and calcium from my vitamins.
The same kids living on a farm only eating organic grown locally are hitting puberty just as soon. Its really a function of meat, fat, and sugar. You feed a kid lots of carbs and little meat and fat and the develop slower. Feed them lots of meat and fats, they gain weight and mature faster sexually. Same thing happens around the world, to all species. Its nature's way, if there is tons of high quality food to eat, to speed up reproduction, and if very little food is available to slow it down. If people stop having 140 pound 9 years olds who get no exercise and just sit on the couch eating they wouldn't develop so soon.
That is not true. Fat does not cause fat. How does sugar and refined carbohydrates make you fat? It is really simple. You have a relatively set amount of fat cells in your body. It is just a matter of how big your fat cells are. [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]So what affects the size of your fat cells? Sugar. Because glucose is what is stored in your fat cells. And there is a little "gate" that controls the movement of sugar in and out of your fat cells. And the key to this little gate is insulin. Insulin is the key that opens the gates to the fat cells and allows excess glucose in the blood to go into the fat cells. So if you never eat anything that raises your blood sugar levels beyond normal, your body will not release insulin, and you will not get bigger fat cells.[/FONT] [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif] [/FONT]
Yes, most humans do not need milk , or even can tolerate it. The lactose tolerant gene came to prominence in the European area of ancient world and spread to the US and others. Not so in most of the world population who lack the enzyme as adults to breakdown lactose in liquid milk. Fermented or processed to remove most of the lactose would be OK. Eggs have porous shells, so salmonella and other microorganisms in the chickens cloaca can penetrate id the egg isn't gathered and cleaned well before shipment. I prefer the pasteurized liquid eggs ( mainly egg whites ( albumin protein) with small amount of yolk. You didn't mention any vegetables in your diet. No brocolli or cauliflower for cancer protection, carrots for vision, tomatoes for prostate protection, etc? Anyway, we seem to be out of the 'silver' OP, so I will stop here.
I eat plenty of low carb veggies.I love broccoli! I would also think thoroughly cooking the egg (I don't like them over easy), would kill any bad stuff. Meat can also have bad stuff in it, but your fine as long as you cook it well.
?? Fat is dense calories. Of course fat will not migrate into your body and become your fat cells, but this high level of calories will cause your fat cells to replicate and you become fatter if you eat more calories than you burn. As to that other stuff, yeah um, not sure where you learned that.
Buzz, wrong. Calorie in, calorie out does not work. I ate less than 1200 calories per day, and worked out 4 times a week at the gym. I ate nothing but cold cut sandwiches and salads, and drank water. How much weight did I loose? None. Not 1 pound. I did this routine for a solid month. Now I eat well over 2,500 calories a day, and don't do very much during the winter, and I lost 52 pounds so far. Our bodies are not a lawnmower. These low calorie diets suck. Your doing nothing more than starving yourself. I was weak and very lethargic when I did low-cal. We are a biological being, not a inanimate object with a closed loop system. Also if creating a calorie deficit does work, then try eating 800 calories a day of nothing but chocolate chip cookies, and just watch the pounds fall off....not. Low-cal is the dumbest diet there is. So is low-fat. Low-carb is the only way to loose weight without starving yourself. I can eat as much as I want, and when I want, and not gain weight. If the calorie in/ calorie out idea was true, then from all the food I eat, I should be HUGE. But I'm not.
The amount of calories you burn has a lot of facets. Drinking water burns calories because your body has to heat it up to 98.6 degrees. The more muscle mass you have the more calories you will burn when idle. Vegetables burn calories through digestion. Celery for example burns more calories than it provides and would leave you wasting away if that was your only food. So it's not always easy to identify if you are burning more than you are consuming or not.
Lol, ok i guess you are the one with two semesters of college biology not i. I agree with Inflexion's answer. Its complicated to calculate, but at the end of the day you physically cannot gain weight if you burn more than you consume, and vice versa if you consume more than you burn you have to gain weight. Trick is to gain muscle that makes you burn more all of the time, and consume complex foods. Your whole theory concerning fat cells i had never heard before. Kinda hard to explain fat people who get liposuction getting fat again though........
They are correct, heat energy is the same in all physical and chemical reactions outside of nuclear fusion, which doesn't happen at earth temperatures. The current term is the Joule as a energy measurement. 4.18 J =1 cal. Food stuffs are measured in kilocalories ( use of capital C, Cal.). However, not all calories input into the human are used completely and most efficiently. Secondly, most people do not accurately measure the food they are taking in, when they compare. Also they do not really know how many calories value are released from the food. If the food label say 4 oz is 200 C., it may not be burned 100% due to the persons metabolism. You can't just look at an exercise book and see that x amount of time burns 200 C. because your metabolism may be lower than average, or you weigh more or less than the exerciser who were used to determine it. The ONLY efficient way is to measure your exercise oxygen in/carbon dioxide out. Those are the TV commercials you see with RG3 on the treadmill, or to totally immerse you in a pool at a set temperature and see how much heat your body gives off , and convert that to calories going into the water. Not all groups of people have the same ratio of brown fat cells/white fat cells. White fat cells are only for storage of fat while brown fat cells function metabolically more like muscle cells for breakdown and energy release.
