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

The genes you inherit and smoking are responsible for some brain disease, but the biggest cause by far relates to what you eat and drink.
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.
Brain disease is caused when damaged proteins accumulate in the brain over time. Virtually all the scientific research into this subject and the many published studies 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 a long time for brain disease to develop, and the rapid growth in UHT milk consumption 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 and Canada about 10 percent of all milk sold is UHT, but the market for UHT is growing rapidly. About 80 percent of all organic milk sold in the USA and Canada is UHT. In many other countries such as Belgium, France and Spain virtually all types of milk are UHT.
