mothers are asking us, "what is the safest milk?" They are concerned
what milk to give their children because many nutritionists and doctors
advise people to drink milk as a source of calcium. Before you give milk
to your children or drink it yourself, please go to the following websites
and be informed of the choices you make. Learn what are the
contaminants of milk!
Visit the website of Mr. John Robbins, the only son of the Baskin and
Robbins Ice Cream founder. His father anointed him to run the business
but he refused the offer to manage multi-billion dollar company.

Instead, he wrote the book Diet for a New America and exposed the
contaminants of milk and meat. Download and watch the film version
before you drink your next glass of milk or eat another scoop of ice
cream. Copies of this book are available in Booksale or other second hand bookstores.

more about the diseases of cows and the way they are treated.
