A study published in the U.S. 'Journal of Reproductive Medicine' shows that drinking milk dramatically increases the chances for women to have twin babies or even triplets. The study shows that compared to mothers who avoid dairy milk, the milk-consuming mothers have a 13% greater chance of having a multiple birth! Vegan women were found to have a 20% less chance of having twins compared to women who consume dairy products. (Mechanisms of Twinning: Effect of Diet and Heredity on the Human Twinning Rate, May 2006). The study shows that this is due to IGF-1, a bovine growth hormone found all types of dairy milk. All recent studies show that IGF-1 is responsible several types of cancer and other diseases in regular milk consumers. Dr. Gary Steinman of the Long Island Jewish Medical Center in New Hyde Park, USA, who conducted the study, took samples from more than 1000 vegetarian women. These women were shown to have five times less chances of having twins compared to non-vegetarian women. It seems that animal-product foodstuffs, especially dairy foods, can significantly increase the chances of having twins. This study is also supported by other findings showing that in some populations where dairy farming is traditional, the rate of twin birth is high. This adds further support to the vast amount of research showing how IGF-1 in dairy milk is so harmful to human health. Anyone who consumes dairy milk will absorb the harmful IGF-1 bovine growth hormones, and this plays havoc with the natural hormonal balance of the human body. Giving birth to twins or triplets is an aberration in the human species, and is not a sign of good health for mother or babies. Another little known fact about dairy milk is that the combination of IGF-1 and estrogen in milk accelerates early puberty in young boys and girls (the bovine growth factor accelerates the onset of puberty in humans). This makes you more prone to getting cancer later in life. The onset of early puberty in girls causes moodiness, depression, aggressiveness, social withdrawal, behavioural problems, and a greater tendency to become addicted to drugs, smoking and alcohol. Worse still, it is known that early puberty in a girl can greatly increase the risk of osteoporosis after the menopause. "There are several reasons why dairy products raise a woman's hormone levels causing a variety of hormone-dependent problems from early onset of menstruation (menarche) to PMS and uterine fibroids - but one is unique to cow's milk: cows are milked even while they are pregnant. As a result of the pregnancy, cows secrete high levels of estrogen into their milk." Source: Janowski T., 'Mammary Secretion Of Estrogens In The Cow', Domest. Anim. Endocrinol. 2002 Jul; 23(1-2): 125-37. Clearly, the way to avoid harmful IGF-1 hormones is to avoid dairy milk. You can easily switch to delicious and super-nutritious non-dairy milk.
