Recently science has condirmed what we have been saying for a decade

Adding vitamin D to milk is a risky business. It is entirely unnecessary to "fortify" milk with this highly toxic substance. The New England Journal of Medicine reported 8 cases of vitamin D intoxication resulting from excessive fortification of commercial milk. Symptoms included amorexia, weight loss, constipation, weakness, fatigue, inability to think correctly & something they described as "failure to thrive." You wouldn't catch all that stuff from my Great-grandmother Bell's milk. Children are denied whole milk because pediatricians are obsessed with the cholesterol myth. These same gutless wonders don't say anything about children drinking half a dozen bottles of Coca-Cola a day, starting before breadfast. But kids can't get a decent glass of milk. Evan if mom buys whole milk, thinking it is better for her growing child than that stickly blue stuff called skim, she can't win, because all of the commercial milk is homogenized. I'm convinced that homogenization is even more detrimental to the nutritional quality of milk than the heat processing call pasteurization.
