Are you implying you do? Do you have some experience you'd like to share with us?

I'm glad you think so. On this we would agree. But I don't see how you are as balanced as she was.

How many of your Asian friends tolerate milk well?

Milk is widely available here. Many sweet breads are made with it. Sweetened condensed milk is a favorite with some foods here, such as, believe it or not, avocado.

Asians definitely don't consume the quantities of dairy products that America does. However, they seem to have no big problem with occasional moderate consumption.

Indeed Asians, as most of the non-European world, do not tolerate milk due to lactase "deficiency" moving into adulthood. Fortunately, most can obtain all they need from other sources as EGW has taught us to teach.

Your statement may be out of date. Lactose intolerance is not merely genetic. It is developed partly through lack of exposure to milk in the early childhood years--a fact that has been changing in Asia over the past decade.

And this exposure has made them healthier, right? Hm - read, "The China Study".

Green, you've said before you've had a B12 deficiency.
You've said before that B12 deficiency can cause permanent brain damage.
You've said eating eggs provides you with adequate B12.
But you've said you do not know how much B12 is in eggs, nor how much B12 you need, nor how much B12 you get from eggs. You admit it is by your own feeelings.

When was the last time you've been tested for B12 deficiency?

(By the way, this is assuming you were tested in the past as to how you knew you had a deficiency. Do I make a wrong assumption?)

It is a fact that people in Asia are growing taller now with better nutrition. Consumption of milk may be a part of that. They do not consume inordinate quantities, as their American friends do, to their detriment.

Asians, like everyone, are facing a host of health problems today of which they were either not aware or did not experience in the past. This includes diabetes, the primary cause of which, in Asia, is lack of exercise. Refined foods are still not the bill of fare here as they are in America, but a sedentary lifestyle is very much commonplace now.

Overall, nutrition is better today in my part of Asia than it was a few decades ago and before. In the larger cities, a more American-style diet can be found in the younger generation, where children drink soda, eat donuts, and are raised on milk formulas. But in my area, probably 80% or more of the people do not have a taste for soda. They don't like it.

What do you think soda pop does for your bones? Milk is falsely advertised as a good source of calcium. Asians do not have the levels of osteoporosis that Americans, who drink far more milk, have. But Asians have their vices too. In some parts, betel nut is a problem, and causes mouth and throat cancers as well as tooth decay and loss of teeth. Obviously, this has nothing to do with calcium intake. People here get plenty of green leafy vegetables in their diet, multiple times more than the average American. This provides a stable source of calcium.

I have watched a DVD of the China Study. It was good. It was not entirely balanced, focusing on strictly the vegan concept in places, but it contains much truth.

Got balance?

You've watched a video, but not read the book, so you can give a balanced review?
