An event well worth getting tickets for the omni friends and family.
White Lies with Heather Mills Mccartney
Professors Join Heather Mills McCartney in ‘Ditch Dairy’ Demand
Beatle’s wife and academics urge the public to go one step further in National Vegetarian Week
Heather Mills McCartney will advise people to drop milk and dairy products from their diet if they want to be healthy. Her public talk - Why You Don’t Need Dairy - is on Wednesday, 24 May, 2006 at Guy’s Campus, London, and standing alongside Heather and echoing her call will be two eminent academics.
Professor T Colin Campbell has been at the forefront of nutrition research for more than 40 years. His legacy - the China Study - is the most comprehensive investigation into diet and health ever undertaken. Professor Jane Plant CBE is a top scientist and author of the best sellers Prostate Cancer (how to defeat it) and Your Life in Your Hands - overcoming breast cancer, something which she has done three times. Both will make the point that dairy products are one of the triggers for many killer diseases, including heart disease and some cancers.
The talk is organised by the Vegetarian & Vegan Foundation (VVF) as part of its campaign to get people eating more healthily. On the same day it is launching its scientific report, White Lies - the health consequences of consuming cows’ milk. Author, Dr Justine Butler, will also be on the platform outlining her reports findings - based on the 260 scientific papers which were reviewed.
The list of speakers will be completed by Juliet Gellatley, director of the VVF and author of several books on vegetarianism, veganism and animal issues. She will outline the widespread cruelty and diseases endemic in modern dairy production.
Other topics will include the latest research on dairy’s link with cancer, the impact that its growth hormones have on human health, the dangers posed by milk proteins and saturated fats, how dairy causes heart disease, diabetes and obesity and whether we should consume dairy at all. Speakers will also challenge the holy grail that children need milk, calling it a ‘myth’.
Talk venue: Lecture Theatre 1, New Hunt’s House, Guy’s Campus, off Great Maze Pond and Newcomen Street, London SE1, 6.45pm for 7.15pm start. Tickets cost £5. Nearest tube and mainline station, London Bridge.
