AFRICAN-AMERICANS learn that MILK is a Deadly [email-masked]

A State Senator's ANTI-MILK Campaign

State Senator Dianne Wilkerson of Massachusetts has great courage.  She
has joined the Dairy Education Board in condemning milk and dairy
products for the children living in her district.

WHO IS SENATOR WILKERSON?

State Senator Dianne Wilkerson obtained her law degree from Boston
College Law School in 1981.  She is the Chairperson of the Joint
Committee of the State Administration and the Vice-Chair of the Joint
Committee on Local Affairs.  Senator Wilkerson also serves on the
Commerce and Labor, Joint Ways and Means, Senate Ways and Means and
Joint Special Committee on Redistricting.

She represents Boston's Second District, and recently made headline news
in an article appearing in the Boston Globe.  That article then appeared
on the AP newswire and was re-printed across America.

HOW DID SENATOR WILKERSON GAIN SUCH WISDOM?

I recently spoke with the honorable Senator.  I had spoken just a few
days earlier at Muhammad's Mosque in Boston, invited by Brother Abdul-
Jabbar Muhammad, host/producer of the Hour of Power on radio 1090 AM
WILD in Boston. I was a guest of the Nation of Islam.  One week prior to
my visit, I was a guest on Brother Jabbar's radio show.  That is when
Senator Wilkerson first heard me.

WHAT DOES MILK DO FOR AFRICAN AMERICANS?

Ninety-five percent of African-Americans cannot tolerate lactose.  Pizza
and ice cream taste delicious on the way into their bodies.  Lactose is
a sugar and most people need the enzyme (lactase) to break down lactose
into glucose and galactose.  Intact, this sugar is broken down in the
intestines by bacteria and the results are gas, bloating and intestinal
distress.

Casein represents eighty percent of milk protein.  This tenacious glue
causes histamine production, the body's natural defense against an
invading antigen.  Your antibodies result in mucus, and plenty of it.
Inner-city school systems like Boston, New York, Detroit, Chicago, and
Los Angeles have very large populations of African-American students.
In New York City, 38 percent of homeless children and 23 percent of kids
in the Bronx schools have asthma.  Got milk?  Got cheese?  These kids
do, particularly chocolate milk.

Milk contains powerful hormones.  Rates of sexual maturity in children
are astounding endocrinologists and behavioral psychologists.  A recent
study revealed that eighty percent of nine-year-old African-American
girls had breast development.

Children are becoming overweight at an early age.  By eating growth
hormones in combination with animal fat, the body has a way of listening
to the signals of those chemical messengers: GROW!

One out of five children has attention deficit disorder (ADD).  A recent
study in the Journal of Autism linked ADD with a milk protein,
casomorphin.

THE POVERTY CONNECTION

Many children of color live below the poverty level.  In its wisdom, the
United States Department of Agriculture provides free food and
nutritional programs for these kids.  In its lack of wisdom, USDA has
chosen milk and dairy products to be the major components of these kid's
diets.  These children now receive free breakfasts of cereal with milk,
free lunches of chocolate with macaroni and cheese or pizza.  A free
snack before they go home is more chocolate milk.

WHAT IS THE RESULT?

Milk buffers gastric pH so that food in the stomach ferments and
putrefies.  Kids drink hormones and act irritable.  In May of 1995, the
Townsend Medical Letter listed eleven symptoms from milk consumption
including mood swings, depression, and irratibility.

THE BOSTON GLOBE

The Boston Globe (Karen Hsu) reported that Senator Wilkerson has
recommended a $50,000 grant in next year's budget to review school
breakfast and lunch programs.  The Senator made this recommendation
after looking a "gift horse in the mouth."  The Post Cereal Company had
offered the Boston school system and other cities large quantities of
free cereal.

"Cereal?  That means they will have to have milk," said Wilkerson.

"It's crazy we should be giving urban children milk when such a high
proportion of them are children of color," she says.

Minority children make up 84 percent of the 63,000 students in Boston
public schools, according to a school spokesperson.

In Boston, elementary school children are required to take the milk,
although doctor's letters can get them out of that requirement.

Boston schools offer Lactaid milk as an alternative.  In other words,
children are given the antidote so that they might take the poison.
There is no casein-free milk.  Nor is there a hormone-free milk.  Poor
kids.  Take away their ability to learn and make them sick by overdosing
them on hormones with glue.

Got milk?  Got asthma, diabetes, attention deficit disorder, mood
swings, depression, irritability, and hormones.  Thank you, Senator
Wilkerson.

Let the Senator know how much you appreciate her work!
