Brain disease can be caused by factors such as alcoholism, accumulation of heavy metals in the brain, the genes you inherit, malnutrition, and even lifestyle factors. But a new discovery shows that UHT milk (also known as ‘Ultra Heat Treated’ milk or Long Life milk) is one of the biggest dietary causes of brain disease.

It has been estimated that the diet (i.e. what goes into your mouth) is responsible for most brain disease. Genes and smoking are also responsible for brain disease, but to a smaller extent.

We are talking about serious neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, Lou Gehrig’s and Huntington’s Disease. These diseases have one thing in common: they are all caused by damaged proteins.

When you consume food containing damaged proteins they cannot be used by the body and instead accumulate in the brain; over time they cause brain disease. This is supported by just about all the scientific research into this subject plus the many published studies that support this view.

How does UHT milk come into this? Up until now few people realized that UHT milk is very high in damaged proteins. Even fewer people have ‘put two and two together’ to realize that as a consequence, UHT milk is one of the biggest dietary causes of brain disease.

This hasn’t come to light before because it can take many years for brain disease to develop, and the growth in UHT milk is a relatively recent development.

UHT milk is quite different to regular pasteurized milk. It has a different molecular structure because it is pasteurized at twice the temperature and homogenized at about 57 percent higher pressure. This greatly changes the fundamental nature of UHT milk, making it particularly high in damaged proteins.

In the USA, Canada, and the UK nearly 10 percent of all milk sold is UHT, but sales of UHT are growing rapidly. And about 80 percent of all organic milk sold in the USA and Canada is UHT. In many other countries such as Spain, France and Belgium over 95 percent of all types of milk are UHT.
