Ray J. Wang Talks Talks if Drinking Milk Causes Acne and Breakouts.

If you’ve clicked on this link or somehow ended up on this article, you must be particularly confused because “How could milk be bad for me?”

Something that, all our lives, we’ve been encouraged to drink because it makes our bones healthy, grow tall and strong, how could THIS be suddenly branded as the villain?

Well… I’m sorry to say boys and girls but it’s TRUE. Milk is BAD FOR YOU. And just like we have been programmed since a young age from the media, our parents, and other people, I’m here to DE-PROGRAM you.

Here’s why:

In a minute or two, I’m going to show you an excellent way to make PLASTIC out of expired milk!

But first…

GROWTH HORMONES, ANTIBIOTICS, & STEROIDS

We’ve all seen these PETA videos about animal cruelty, if you haven’t, I’ve taken the liberty to post a video that I saw years ago about 45 days in the life of a chicken. Warning: this is the NOT for the faint of heart.

Now I know this has absolutely NOTHING to do with cows, lol.

But you should know this. In our society today, there’s no time for old farmer grandpapa Smith to go out into the farm and raise his cattle the old fashioned and organic way. It’s about processing, it’s about speeding things up, it’s about getting it done and getting it done FAST.

So old farmer grandpapa Smith has no choice, in order to hang with his competition and those large corporations, many animals must be injected with steroids, growth hormones, antibiotics and other chemicals because not only do these animals have to grow SUPER QUICKLY they are also regulated, to a certain degree, by many of the laws we have for “proper” nutrition so all these chemicals are injected into them to make sure they are “healthy.”

GUESS WHERE ALL THOSE CHEMICALS GO?

They don’t just disappear. They go into the milk of those animals, they’re bred into the babies of those animals, and they’re deposited into the MEAT of those animals that WE EAT.

THE END RESULT is that we definitely are feeling the effects. These chemicals put unnecessary stresses on your system and upsets the hormonal balance that is so crucial for clear skin.

That’s why there’s all this hype all of a sudden about organic and how it’s more expensive. People are willing to pay more because they’re suddenly finding videos like the one I’ve just shown you about chickens and these people are realizing that they want their food grown properly.

CASEIN: THE SECRET MILK INGREDIENT KILLER

There’s still much debate about this subject in the academic world, as I’ve asked my professors about it. But the theory is that casein is a congesting and clogging element that can really negatively affect your system.

Have you ever seen the picture on the right? That’s right, it’s a cow’s head.

If it doesn’t look familiar, then maybe you should a look at the second picture on the left. That’s right, it’s the brand of Elmer’s Glue. And there’s a reason there’s a cow’s head featured on the front of that bottle. It’s because CASEIN, from milk, is a main ingredient in glue.

Wait, what? They use milk to make glue? Why? Because the casein in milk is a very BINDING like substance that helps glue stick things together.

Now imagine what something like that can do in your body, which is a system of tubes and organs. Imagine what would happen if you decide to drink 20 years worth of glue, little by little, how clogged up would your body be and how would things be working by year 20?

Now…

A word from our sponsors (not really our sponsors)…

YAYYY: LET’S TO MAKE PLASTIC OUT OF EXPIRED MILK!!!

Sternlab.org writes:

Here are some DIY pictures on the right for your entertainment =)

Martha the Milk Lady says, “Let’s all eat plastic and be sick! Yayyy.”

Milk can become “plastic” because it contains casein, which makes up about 80% of the protein of milk. The basic principle is very similar to how the milk curdles itself when decaying. Casein can be isolated by acids (vinegar) and heat.

It was a common and popular early form of glue, and actually was used to make aircraft windows in World War II before there were many synthetic plastics available. Now we don’t use this method to produce plastics since there are much cheaper, stronger solutions.

Because, you see, milk is an excellent plastic.  It’s especially good in your body because it’s healthy to ingest what our society supposedly calls food substance that can potentionally turn into freakin’ plastic???!!! !@*%$!#%^!@

Does anyone not see what’s wrong with this picture?

In case you didn’t get the above satire, it was a joke.  I’m not really advocating we all go out and make plastic out of expired milk.  But this is a hilarious example of what milk is capable of.  It’s capable of causing problems in your body.  But we weren’t educated about the other side of milk.

And I’m about to tell you about that other side

CAUSES OSTEOPOROSIS

Osteoporosis is a disease in which the bones are not strong enough to support the body. The bones become fragile and break very easily causing many complications to the patient.

WHOA… what? Milk actually CAUSES osteoporosis? Consider all this from NOTMILK.com:

American women have been consuming an average of two pounds of milk per day for their entire lives, yet thirty million American women have osteoporosis. Drinking milk does not prevent bone loss. Bone loss is accelerated by ingesting too much protein, and milk has been called “liquid meat.”

In order to absorb calcium, the body needs comparable amounts of another mineral element, magnesium. Milk and dairy products contain only small amounts of magnesium. Magnesium is the center atom of chlorophyll:

“Osteoporosis is caused by a number of things, one of the most important being too much dietary protein.”

Science 1986;233(4763)

“Countries with the highest rates of osteoporosis, such as the United States, England, and Sweden, consume the most milk. China and Japan, where people eat much less protein and dairy food, have low rates of osteoporosis.”

Nutrition Action Healthletter, June, 1993

“What appears to be important in bone metabolism is not calcium intake, but calcium balance. The loss of bone integrity among many post menopausal white women probably results from genetics and from diet and lifestyle factors. Research shows that calcium losses are increased by the use of animal protein, salt, caffeine, and tobacco, and by physical inactivity.”

Neal Barnard, M.D., Physician’s Committee for Responsible Medicine, Understanding Health, December, 1999

“Dietary protein increases production of acid in the blood which can be neutralized by calcium mobilized from the skeleton.”

American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 1995; 61 (4)

“About 50,000 Americans die each year of problems related in some way to osteoporosis.”

Osteoporosis International 1993;3(3)

“Even when eating 1,400 mg of calcium daily, one can lose up to 4% of his or her bone mass each year while consuming a high-protein diet.”

American Journal of Clinical Nutrition 1979;32(4)

“Increasing one’s protein intake by 100% may cause calcium loss to double.”

Journal of Nutrition, 1981; 111 (3)

“The average man in the US eats 175% more protein than the recommended daily allowance and the average woman eats 144% more.”

Surgeon General’s Report on Nutrition and Health, 1988

“Calcium intake demonstrated no protective in preventing bone fractures. In fact, those populations with the highest calcium intakes had higher fracture rates than those with more modest calcium intakes.”

Calif Tissue Int 1992;50

“There is no significant association between teenaged milk consumption and the risk of adult fractures. Data indicate that frequent milk consumption and higher dietary calcium intakes in middle aged women do not provide protection against hip or forearm fractures… women consuming greater amounts of calcium from dairy foods had significantly increased risks of hip fractures, while no increase in fracture risk was observed for the same levels of calcium from nondairy sources.”

12-year Harvard study of 78,000 women American Journal of Public Health 1997;87

“Consumption of dairy products, particularly at age 20 years, were associated with an increased risk of hip fractures…metabolism of dietary protein causes increased urinary excretion of calcium.”

American Journal of Epidemiology 1994;139

After reading all that, now please trying telling me this is a coincidence. HMMMMM???

SO WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOU AND YOUR ACNE

If your body gets clogged then unnecessary stressed gets places on your organs including your liver. More toxins forces your body to deal with those toxins by pushing them into your secondary eliminations channels: YOUR SKIN.

Allergic reactions may occur thereby exacerbating symptoms. Basically it will put your body into a weakened state and make it more difficult for your body to balance your hormones. Out of balance hormones translates into acne.

WHAT WE’VE LEARNED?

What I’m talking about though is cow’s milk. Stay away from whey, milk, cheese, yogurt, and dairy made from cow’s milk because it’s high in casein and often times injected with many hormones and chemicals.

Safer forms of milk, cheese, and yogurt are with goat. But that’s a WHOLE other topic…

How To Clear Your Acne is done completely without pay and without outside help. This is information and experiences that I’ve compiled from more than the last 10 years of my life that I’m offering in order to give back to the community.

    Hi Ray, what about Kefir from cow milk? Would you then suggest against it? I’m not able to get any other type of kefir.. and i guess yogurt would also count as a milk product?

  • ALEX says:

    HEY RAY MY FRIEND, THANKS FOR ALL THE INFO YOU ARE GIVING US, IT REALLY HELPS, I GOT A QUESTION FOR YOU, ARE EGGS GOOD FOR YOU? I LIKE TO BREAK THE EGGS LIKE 3-4 EGGS AND PUT THEM IN A CUP AND DRINK THEM 😀 SO IS IT GOOD??? IS IT ACNE FREE??? PLEASE REPLY

    • Ray says:

      Eggs are good for you but you do have to watch out for salmonella and high cholesterol if you eat too many egg yokes.

  • Heezmagnif says:

    Ray, in one of your videos you say that you take protein for your workouts. What kind of protein do you take, it can’t be whey, casein, egg or soy protein right?

    • Ray says:

      I actually stopped taking protein because excess protein can be very heavy on your kidneys and can end up hurting you in the long run.

  • Julie says:

    hi Ray
    Can you please answer Kami’s question? milk is so bad for us but then kefir is made from milk … So how does this work? You might have answered this already somewhere in your article, but I can’t find it. Lol thanks for you’re time.
    Julia

    • Ray says:

      Good question julia, I actually used to recommend unpasteurized goat’s milk as opposed to store bought pasteurized cow’s milk. But because that’s so much harder to get your hands on, drinking kefir from the store is the next best solution.

  • jou says:

    what about fat free and lactose free cheese ?

  • jou says:

    is from kraft? can you answer please because i like putting that cheese on the salads.

    • Jessica says:

      Yes, Jou. Kraft cheese and Milk products are not organic and therefore contaiminated.

  • jou says:

    ohh and also can i add avocado to my salads?

    • ray says:

      Try to keep away from avocados because of all the omega 6, that would upset your ratio and lead to breakouts.
