It really is... beer is a close second. However, as you can see, "milk" doesn't quite have the nice ring that "beer" has for signing off. Beer,

Acidic Blood: Heart & Bone Disease

 

 

Food proteins are broken down by the human body into their

building blocks, amino acids. The amino acids are then used

to build new proteins. Proteins consist of 28 amino acids.

We manufacture 19 amino acids in our livers. Nine essential

amino acids must be obtained from the foods we eat. Many

people believe that animal and plant proteins are exactly

the same. That is not true.

 

One of those "essential" amino acids is methionine.

 

One needs methionine for many human metabolic functions

including digestion, detoxification of heavy metals, and

muscle metabolism. However, an excess of methionine can be

toxic and create that acid condition in your blood.

 

The center atom of methionine is sulfur. That's the problem.

Eat foods containing too much methionine, and your blood

will become acidic. The sulfur converts to sulfates and weak

forms of sulfuric acid. In order to neutralize the acid, in

its wisdom, the body leaches calcium from bones.

 

"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}

 

Animal proteins contain more methionine than plant proteins.

Let's compare cow's milk to soymilk:

 

Methionine in 100 grams of soymilk: .040 grams

Methionine in 100 grams of whole milk: .083 grams

Methionine in 100 grams of skim milk: .099 grams

 

Now, let's compare 100 gram portions of tofu to meat:

(All of the meat products are lean and without skin)

 

Silken soft tofu: .074 grams of methionine

Hamburger: .282 grams of methionine

Hard boiled egg: .392 grams of methionine

Roast ham: .535 grams of methionine

Baked codfish: .679 grams of methionine

Swiss cheese .784 grams of methionine

Roast chicken: .801 grams of methionine

 

Why do nations with the highest rates of bone disease also

have the highest milk consumption rates? The highest rates

of osteoporosis are to be found in Denmark, Holland, Norway,

and Sweden.

 

We are told to consume 1000 milligrams per day of calcium.

Inuit Eskimos consume 3500 milligrams of calcium each day,

and by age 40 are crippled.

 

THE KEY TO OSTEOPOROSIS

 

It's not how much calcium you eat. It's how much calcium you

prevent from leaving your bones.

 

WHY DOES CALCIUM LEAVE BONES?

 

In 1988, N.A. Breslau and colleagues identified the

relationship between protein-rich diets and calcium

metabolism, noting that protein caused calcium loss. His

work was published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology

(1988;66:140-6).

 

A 1994 study published in the American Journal of Clinical

Nutrition (Remer T, Am J Clin Nutr 1994;59:1356-61) found

that animal proteins cause calcium to be leached from the

bones and excreted in the urine.

 

MORE SUPPORTING EVIDENCE:

 

"Osteoporosis is caused by a number of things, one of the

most important being too much dietary protein." {Science

1986;233, 4763}

 

"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}

 

"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}

 

Can it get worse? Absolutely.

 

The Framingham Heart Study is the largest and most exciting

heart study in the history of mankind. Some of the

highlights of this exhaustive 50 year study:

 

In 1960, Cigarette smoking was found to increase the risk of

heart disease.

 

In 1970, high blood pressure was found to increase the risk

of stroke.

 

During the 1980's, high levels of HDL cholesterol were found

to reduce risk of death from heart disease.

 

In the 1990's, homocysteines were identified as key factors

in heart attack deaths.

 

Homocysteines are normal breakdown products of METHIONINE

and are believed to exert a number of toxic effects in the

body. I recently spoke with the senior investigator of the

Framingham heart study, William Castelli, M.D. (E-mail:

william_castelli@mwmc.com) Dr. Castelli has suggested that

an elevated homocysteine level is a risk factor for heart

disease. The first evidence of this was published in the

American Journal of Cardiology (Glueck, 1995;75:132Â_6).

 

Two recent publications resulting from Framingham data

indicate a positive correlation between cardiovascular

disease mortality and blood serum levels of homocysteine.

 

Bostom AG, et. al, Nonfasting plasma total homocysteine

levels and all-cause and cardiovascular disease mortality in

elderly Framingham men and women. Arch Intern Med 1999;

159:1077-1080.

 

Bostom A.G., et. al, Nonfasting plasma total homocysteine

levels and stroke incidence in elderly persons: the

Framingham Study. Ann Intern Med 131[5], 352-355, 1999.
