In Whitewash, Joseph Keon unveils how North Americans unwittingly sabotage their health every day by drinking milk, and shows that our obsession with calcium is unwarranted.Citing scientific literature, Whitewash builds an unassailable case that not only is milk unnecessary for human health; its inclusion in the diet may increase the risk of serious diseases including:prostate, breast, and ovarian cancersosteoporosisdiabetesvascular diseaseCrohn's disease.Many of America’s dairy herds contain sick and immunocompromised animals whose tainted milk regularly makes it to market.
