Milk- the other white drink

Here is what a study in the July issue of Nutrition Journal had to say.... and this is no Hoax :)
Milk represents the nutrient system promoting neonatal growth of mammals, stimulating cell growth regulated by an action called mTORC1.
According to a study in the July issue of Nutrition Journal, whereas human breast milk is the ideal food for infants allowing appropriate postnatal growth and species-specific metabolic programming, persistent high milk signaling during adolescence and adulthood by continued cow´s milk consumption may promote mTORC1-driven diseases of civilization like acne, obesity, type 2-diabetes, arterial hypertension, Alzheimer´s disease, cancer, especially prostate cancer.
Cow´s milk is not just a simple food for humans, but a tremendously powerful evolutionary program of the faster growing species Bos taurus (cow), which may permanently over-stimulate mTORC1 signaling in human milk consumers.
The researchers in this study state that it is of critical concern that persistently increased mTORC1 signaling be recognized as the fundamental driving force for the development of mTORC1-driven diseases of civilization. Therefore, future research in nutrition science should pay special attention to this function, which up to this point, has been woefully neglected.
