How to Get Rid of Acne
Most of us at one time or another have had acne. Even Britney Spears has acne! What do millions of Americans have in common with Britney Spears? They drink milk! A few days ago you might have rolled your eyes at me and said, "Wait, but they say milk does a body good." Who exactly is they? The Dairy Council? Well, it turns out researchers have found that dairy does indeed cause acne. All those "freaks" who said milk was linked with acne (how unAmerican!) have now been shown to be not so freaky after all.
The Dairy Council must be rolling over in its butter dish, right? Well, after I saw the story published on the Health Diaries news I decided to go search the wires to read more articles about it. Would you believe that hardly any American newspapers picked up this story? Gosh, it couldn't be because the Dairy Council pays their salaries through non-stop milk advertising, could it? Hmm... looks like the story was published in the UK Telegraph, The Daily Mail (UK), Newsindpress (India), The Scotsman (Scotland), Health India, Channel 4 (UK), and ... The New York Post.
Yes, folks, The New York Post is the only U.S. newspaper I can find online who has mentioned this story. How is that possible? A story about one of America's favorite drinks, a story about a substance that millions of teens drink every day, and only one newspaper picks it up? Maybe I'm missing something here. Does the Dairy Council control the entire media?
They're playing with our health for profit. This makes me angrier than anything has in recent years. If you feel strongly about this, write to your local newspapers and tv stations and ask them why they didn't publish this news story. If you saw this story reported on any U.S. news broadcasts or saw it in your local paper please let me know. We can't let them get away with this.
Milk: it does a body in, but they don't want us to know.
