This Dairy Whore is a Liar Too
Headline: Eating Yogurt Prevents Obesity Prediction: Get set
for a new wave of dairy promotion, based upon a phony study.
On June 5th, 2002, the Honolulu Star Bulletin interviewed
Dr. Michael Zemel, a nutritionist/researcher who prostitutes
himself for the dairy industry at the University of
Tennessee.
http://starbulletin.com/2002/05/01/features/health.html
The Star Bulletin wrote:
"Dr. Michael B. Zemel...has identified a fairly complex
sequence of metabolic events that show how increased calcium
intake, especially from dairy foods, causes fat cells to make
and store less fat and to release more fat."
Zemel was asked about possible conflicts of interest.
His response:
"And no, we don't get funding from the dairy industry."
Uh, huh. That reminds me of Richard Nixon's famous "I am not a
crook" comment. My investigation of Dr. Zemel finds that the
man is a common liar. Was $2,231,385 given to Michael Zemel by
milk producers because he's a nice guy?
Two weeks after that interview appeared, Zemel was awarded a
$941,202 two-year grant from the National Dairy Council to
explore the role of dairy products in weight loss.
Soon after, Zemel received an additional $289,500 from his
same benefactors to explore weight loss in
African-American adults.
While being interviewed for the story, Zemel was completing
work on a $190,425 National Dairy Council research study:
Interaction Between Calcium-Rich Dairy Products and Dietary
Macronutrients in Modulating Weight Loss in Obese Mice.
This phony liar has a long history with the dairy industry.
The year before, he received $103,360 from the National Dairy
Council for research on The Effects of Calcium-Rich Dairy
Products on Weight Loss in Obese Adults.
In 1999, the National Diary Council paid Zemel $86,230 to
explore the role of calcium ingestion in obese transgenic
mice.
The National Dairy Council gave Zemel $69,919 in 1998.
The money keeps getting better and better.
Zemel enjoys sponsorship from cereal companies too. General
Mills also sponsors dairy research. Beginning in 2000 through
today, General Mills has paid Zemel $550,749 to perform four
dairy-related studies.
After a study is performed, there are many months lead time
between the completion and publication in a scientific
journal. The International Dairy Foods Association (IDFA)
clearly had this inside story long before it was published in
a journal. They include the words "Embargoed for Release Until
November 17, 1999, 10 a.m., EST"
http://www.idfa.org/news/gotmilk/1999/reduce.cfm
Like portions of ice cream, these stories are scooped out to
dairy companies so that their products can be promoted with
phony science.

Which brings me to Sunday's press release (April 13, 2003):
http://biz.yahoo.com/iw/030413/052813.html
We are told:
"Now there's another reason to reach for yogurt more often.
New research out of the University of Tennessee suggests that
eating calcium-rich yogurt can help your body burn more fat."
Unlike most press releases, this one has no contact
information. Great marketing. In fact, there is not even a
published study to review. I called Dr. Zemel's Tennessee
office and was told that the yet-to-be publsihed study will be
orally presented at a conference. There is nothing yet in
writing. So much for peer-review. I did learn that Zemel's
conclusions are based upon 36 obese black people who
participated in a 24-day experiment. That's science?
Zemel's previous work was performed on genetically engineered
laboratory mice. The yogurt-eating rodents lost 25% of their
body weight and 60% of their body fat in just six weeks. These
must have been very sick mice. If a human experienced a
similar weight loss, his or her entire system would shut down
and death would soon result. No human has ever lost 25% of his
or her body weight in six weeks. Well, perhaps Dr. Atkins did,
but he had triple bypass surgery and then suffered a stroke,
fell, crushed his skull, and died. That should be the true
legacy of the famed Atkins Diet. I would not recommend his
weight loss method to anybody, even Saddam. Perhaps the
tummies of Zemel's genetically engineered mice were
liposuctioned. Perhaps Zemel cut off their tails with a
carving knife.
Consider for a moment the one true purpose of milk. Whether
you believe in God or Mother Nature or evolution, you must
admit that milk was designed for an infant to gain weight, not
lose weight. Milk is not diet food. Milk is a calorie- rich
food, containing fat and growth hormones which make mammals
grow, not shrink. If you are made to believe that milk and
dairy products make you lose weight, you might also have
believed the Iraqi minister of propaganda who went on
television to tell his people that American Soldiers were
committing suicide at the gates of Baghdad. The dairy industry
lie is much worse, because it fools you into believing that an
unhealthy product designed to turn calves into 1500-pound
monsters will end America's obesity epidemic.
They who sell us out for dollars are meeting in San Diego this
week. The dairy industry has funded many similar studies, to
be replayed on television news shows and written about in
feature magazine articles with milk mustache ads. Although
today is April 15th, next week's April 21st Time Magazine
story has remarkably been written in the past tense before the
actual presentation was even made. Time will report:
http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1101030421-4-
43201,00.html
"The first large study to look at total calcium consumption in
adolescents found that girls who consumed more calcium weighed
less and had lower body fat. The findings were presented at
the Experimental Biology 2003 meeting in San Diego, as part of
the American Society for Nutritional Sciences program."
Time Magazine generates millions of dollars in revenue by
selling their integrity for ad space. Milk mustache ads.
Conspiracy? You bet. This time, I caught them with their pants
down. Most of America will never read or hear the truth.
One last bit of incriminating information.
The American Society for Nutritional Sciences is responsible
for this conference. The President-elect of this organization
is Dale Bauman of Cornell University. What a vicious cycle
this is becoming. I wrote about Dale Bauman in
1998:
A MAN FOR ALL TREASONS THE VILEST OF HUMANS THE FACE OF A
LIAR; THE FACE OF EVIL
"No man has done more to further the goals and perpetrate
Monsanto's fraud than Dale Bauman of Cornell University."
