...until the addiction subsides. Should take about three weeks. Here's a rundown:

The fat in diary is the worst because cow's milk (or anyone's) concentrates poisons like dioxins and radioactive substances from the environment. The fat is where it resides in the milk. Then it gets concentrated further when made into cheese.

Add to that the hormones and pus found in most milk products. If it doesn't have BGH added, it still has the cow's natural hormones. Plus any antibiotic residuals.

Still sounds yummy? Think of all the saturated animal fat which goes into you and into your blood, making it sticky and thick. And cheese also usually has a lot of added salt.

So that's what we eat when we eat cheese: saturated fat, salt, hormones, pus, antibiotics, and many contaminants from the environment, extra-concentrated.

Harsh, but it helped me stop eating the stuff! My weakness was ice cream. Now I blend up frozen bananas instead.
