THEY FOOL MOST OF THE PEOPLE, MOST OF THE TIME

 

The London Times ran a story yesterday 01/02/01 that is

certain to be publicized by the marketing geniuses employed

in America's dairy industry.

 

HEADLINE:

 

Maasai Milk Link to Healthy Hearts, by Nigel Hawkes, Health

Editor

 

Hawkes writes:

 

" The milk-drinking diet of Maasai tribesmen in East Africa,

who drink huge quantities of milk but remain almost immune

to heart disease, could be the inspiration for a theory that

could turn the dairy industry upside down. "

 

The diets of the Maasai were investigated and given credit

for low heart disease rates. Maasai drink milk...and

plenty of it. However, Maasai do not own refrigerators.

Milk spoils and kills Maasai long before they have an

opportunity to die from heart complications.

 

In attempting to keep the milk from spoiling, the Maasai

ferment the beverage with two not-so appetizing substances:

blood drawn from the necks of their cattle, and feces. The

fermentation process allows bacteria to digest lactose.

 

Will one have to drink milk with blood and feces to prevent

heart disease? Not at all!

 

There is a serious flaw in this story.

 

Maasai live in Kenya and Tanzania. The life expectancy of a

male in Kenya is 46.5 years, according to the World Almanac.

It gets worse in Tanzania, where the average male is

expected to live just 43.85 years.

 

To suggest that these milk drinking people are healthy, is

to deceive and lie. So, Maasai don't dies of heart disease.

They should only live that long!

 

Oh, yes. African people experience little or no episodes of

osteoporosis. The one exception are the milk-drinking

Maasai. MILK; What a surprise!
