A variety of factors can cause brain disease such as the accumulation of heavy metals in the brain, faulty genes, alcoholism, malnutrition, and just growing old. But a sensational new discovery shows that UHT milk (also known as Long Life milk) is one of the biggest dietary causes of brain disease.
The food we eat and drink is responsible for most brain disease. Genes and smoking are also responsible for brain disease, but to a lesser extent.
Here we are talking about serious neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Lou Gehrig’s and Huntington’s Disease. All these diseases have one thing in common: they are all mainly caused by damaged proteins.
When you consume food containing damaged proteins they cannot be used by the body and instead accumulate in the brain; over time they cause brain disease. This is supported by just about all the scientific research into this subject plus the many published studies that support this view.
So what about UHT milk? Few people realize that UHT milk is high in damaged proteins (this is not something the milk industry wants to publicize!). But the shocking truth is that UHT milk is one of the biggest dietary causes of brain disease.
This hasn’t been noticed before because it can take many years for brain disease to develop, and the big growth in UHT milk sales is a recent development.
UHT milk is quite different to regular pasteurized milk. It has a different molecular structure because it is pasteurized at twice the temperature and homogenized at about 57 percent higher pressure. This greatly changes the fundamental nature of UHT milk, making it particularly high in damaged proteins.
In the USA, Canada, and the UK nearly 10 percent of all milk sold is UHT, but sales of UHT are growing rapidly. And about 80 percent of all organic milk sold in the USA and Canada is UHT. In many other countries such as Spain, France and Belgium over 95 percent of all types of milk are UHT.
