Bovine Leukemia Virus ... and other alarmist concerns

> Please bear with me as a new member--not just to the group, but to raw

> a link which led me to two places: the " notmilk " yahoo group, and

> some article written by some Dr. Kradjian (link below) wherein he

> discusses at length the dangers of milk, all milk! It's pretty scary

> (but, again, I'm new to this), particularly when he talks about the

> has a much higher protein content that human milk, and as a species

> most of us get far more protein than we need.
