excerpt:
Flourishing microbes are consumed with every bite of cheese though the cooling temperatures in refrigerators do slow down bacterial growth, they do not kill them in cheese or in any other food. Bacteria either naturally swimming around the milk or manually injected and enzymes derived from the inner stomach linings of any slaughtered milk-producing mammal called rennet are added to coagulate the milk into curds.
Two proteins arise from curdled milk and manufacturers capitalize on them: The first is whey, which is essentially leftover liquid from curdled milk and is increasingly being used as an ingredient in producing other foods. The second is casein, which makes up the bulk of the solid part of cheese, along with fat.
Fat is what gives cheese its taste, and 70 to 80 percent of the calories in cheese come from pure fat.
Factories are adding more bacterial groups into cheese to achieve enhanced flavors.
Cheese might be a hot commodity, but like other dairy products, it can have some unhealthy aspects. Other ways to get your calcium fix include eating the following foods: fortified grains, kale, collard greens, mustard greens, cabbage, kelp, seaweed, watercress, chickpeas, broccoli, red beans, soybeans, tofu, seeds and raw nuts. With all that variety, there’s hope for any cheese addict.
Note the disclaimer at the end of the article. Apparently the original article was filled with comments about how cheese is somehow laced with pesticides. I reckon some trade group threatened to sue over that. Note how carefully worded the disclaimer is to kind of hint that cheese is indeed full of pesticides.
Open Vegan sites, such as these, are one thing. But I wonder how many sites like this are acting as scientific “cover” for the others. One interesting aspect of this is that the FBI may be investigating Vegans as possibly subversive or even terrorists. While this seems laughable to most people, there is something creepy about many of these people. And such odd zealotry is indeed suspicious.
Thanks to Nate for pointing this out.
She didn’t realize until the next morning her laptop defaulted to the Ubuntu operating system.
