Parents, beware:<\/strong> What you put in your kids\u2019 cereal\u2014or on their plate\u2014could be a matter of life and death. A new study has identified cow\u2019s milk<\/strong> as the leading culprit of food-related fatal allergic reactions in children under 16\u00a0<\/strong>in the U.K.<\/p>\n

This finding comes from a study published in the British Medical Journal<\/em><\/a>, which examined hospital admissions for food-induced anaphylaxis\u2014a life-threatening allergic reaction\u2014from 1998 to 2018. Over two decades, deaths from peanut or tree nut allergies decreased while fatalities linked to cow\u2019s milk increased, accounting for 26% of food anaphylaxis-related deaths.<\/p>\n

Even less severe allergies to cow-based milk and cheese can cause serious, sometimes long-term health issues for children. Cow\u2019s milk is among the most common allergens for children and can lead to gastrointestinal, skin, and respiratory problems. According to a study published by a leading journal in children\u2019s healthcare<\/a>, a startling 47% of children allergic to cow\u2019s milk<\/strong> have had at least one emergency room visit due to exposure.<\/p>\n

Childhood food allergies are among the many other reasons to steer clear of dairy milk and cheese, which have been linked to an increased risk of developing prostate cancer<\/a>, ovarian cancer<\/a>, and heart disease<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Cruelty of the Dairy Industry <\/strong><\/h3>\n

The dairy industry tears calves away from their loving mothers when they\u2019re just a day old\u2014an extremely traumatic experience for these emotional, sensitive animals. Mother cows are often heard frantically crying out for their young for several days after they\u2019ve been separated. Dairy farms exploit female cows like they\u2019re merely milk machines, subjecting them to abusive, grueling milking regimens that often lead to painful udder infections.<\/p>\n

Ditch Milk and Cheese Made From Cows\u2014Go Vegan! <\/strong><\/h3>\n

Cows produce milk for the same reason that humans do\u2014to nourish their young. They don\u2019t want to endure a lifetime of exploitation in the dairy industry. The best thing you<\/em> can do for our fellow animals, your health, and the planet is to go vegan.
