IMHO, The most obvious culprit for all the medical troubles experienced by modern world are caused by the nutrient deficient processed food loaded with faulty nutrients that human body cannot metabolize.
1) Trans fats
2) Lipid hydroperoxides ( by products of essential fatty acids due to heat processing...)
3) pesticides and other chemicals like heavy metals that have no role in human metabolism
Modern processed food and non-organic food also severly lack ESSENTIAL Minerals. ( Without sufficient minerals, Vitamins will not work! 300+ enzymes depend on the level of MG ! ). Experts estimate that >80% of American are deficient in Magnesium . WHO also estimates that more than 600 million of ppl worldwide are deficient in IRON . the essential nutrient that's required to transport oxygen so you don't feel like zombie all the time. Also making the situation worse was the deficiency of essential fatty acids (Omega 6/3) due to cook/fried food as these delicate fats are sensitive to heat, light and air . Essential fatty acids are the percursor of hormones, the main building block of healthy cellular membrane and etc.

If you're to ask me if commercial milk is any worse than vegetarian French fries or vegetarian cookies loaded with damaged fats in causing illness. My answer is no, but that doesn't mean commercial milk is good . Natural whole milk , as with any whole food , is still better choice for anyone looking to improve their health.
