The World Health Organization and UNICEF have determined that formula milk is not sterile with Enterobacter Sakazakii as one of the virulent pathogens that can contaminate it. http://www.who.int/foodsafety/publications/micro/mra10/en/ There are many other contaminants in cow's milk that are harmful to children and even adults. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/4459520.stm http://www.thedairysite.com/diseaseinfo/ Possibly contaminated milk had been sold in our country and many parts of the world: http://waba.org.my/news/wyeth.html http://www.21food.com/news/detail6665.html http://bulatlat.com/main/2015/08/26/childrens-health-at-risk-with-low-breastfeeding-practice/ Breastfeeding rates have not increased significantly despite massive campaigns, trainings and policy changes. https://www.facebook.com/unicefphilippines/photos/a.197211160571.161747.102248760571/10153644478460572/?type=1 Since 35% of our country's maternal deaths is due to hypertension and many studies show that cow's milk consumption can lead to diabetes, we have to be more vigilant in promoting fruits and vegetables that will not cause any of these problems especially to pregnant and breastfeeding mothers. http://www.gmanetwork.com/news/story/308895/lifestyle/healthandwellness/usaid-doh-take-on-maternal-mortality-urges-no-mother-should-die-to-give-life Even Harvard School of Public Health (HSPH) criticized their own Department of Agriculture in promoting the consumption of dairy that they said allows "Intense lobbying efforts from a variety of food industries also helped shape the pyramid and the plate." http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/healthy-eating-plate/ According to the HSPH, the USDA’s My Plate's "blueprint was based on shaky scientific evidence, and it barely changed over the years to reflect major advances in our understanding of the connection between diet and health. Experts at the HSPH added that, "There is little, if any, evidence that eating dairy prevents osteoporosis or fractures, and there is considerable evidence that high dairy product consumption is associated with increased risk of fatal prostate and maybe ovarian cancers." http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/pyramid-full-story/ Avoid food poisoning by serving fresh fruits and vegetables instead of processed milk. http://www.philstar.com/nation/153578/school-kids-poisoned-milk-drink Let us promote an indigenous diet is safer, cheaper and is an excellent source of calcium and other essential nutrients. Let us protect our children and ensure the sustainability of our ecology and our economy! http://ucfoodobserver.com/2015/06/04/report-un-urges-global-move-to-meat-and-dairy-free-diet/ http://www.theguardian.com/environment/2010/jun/02/un-report-meat-free-diet/print Let us not allow our children and the general public especially women and the elderly to be the dump site of these dangerous products. There are many reasons why we should not drink cow’s milk. It is not natural for humans to drink another species' milk e.g. cows. According to Frank Oski, MD, Former Director of Pediatrics at Johns Hopkins University, “There is no reason to drink cow’s milk at anytime in your life. It is designed for calves, not humans and we should all stop drinking it today.” The Philippines has a variety of indigenous foods that are affordable, accessible, abundant especially when it is in season and rich in calcium, especially when we combine and cook them using the traditional way. Our tropical country produces many fruits and vegetables that are now called Superfoods by the international community. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.780221155352591.1073741834.224531487588230&type=3 See the list of indigenous fruits and vegetables at http://www.nanaynona.com/philippinefoodcompositiontable.html Why import something that will harm our health and the health of the planet? https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2018/may/31/avoiding-meat-and-dairy-is-single-biggest-way-to-reduce-your-impact-on-earth https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2010/jun/02/un-report-meat-free-diet What can you do? 1.
