Cow Milk has been the staple diet of many Indians through generations. It is also regularly provided in the Ashram Dining Room. Chemically, it comes closest to the Mother’s milk and emotionally, the cow comes close to human mothers. So all these so-called studies seems to me just a ploy to sell substitute products.
As to bread, wholegrain bread may be better than white and brown sugar better than refined, but that does not mean the white version or the white colour code is evil. The greatest enemy of good health are fear, excesses of any kind, greed and desires rather than food. Yes, moderation, simplicity, and the atmosphere in which we take the food are much more important than anything else.
Affectionately,
