L'Oreal sales reached US$180m in China last year
L'Oreal, if I'm not mistaken, is owned by Nestle. Nestle is also a sponsor for the introduction of school milk programs (adopted as a national program in China in 2000). The Nestle Foundation is responsible research on how much milk you can stuff down someone's throat if they are lactose intolerant. As it turns out, the answer is 240mL without side effects. Nestle has also been deemed, by WHO, as one of the worlds most dangerous corporations (because of the manipulative way in which they market baby formula). The trade and commodities wing of the FAO has also sponsored research on bone mineral density. Despite having one of the lowest rates of osteoporosis in the world, China has been targeted as being calcium deficient and is now a target market for the International Dairy Association. Why milk? Because Whitebread Protestants think milk is the perfect food, and advertise it as such. The Chinese milk program offers sweetened milk. Studies have show that an increase in sugar intake on a widespread scale correlates with an increase in diabetes.
The following are adequate and sufficient calcium substitutes: - dark greens: broccoli, spinach, collards, kale, turnips, bok choy, parsley, mustard, dandelion - tofu and other soy products - beans: chickpeas/garbanzo beans, navy beans, pinto beans - nuts & seeds: sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, almonds, filberts/hazelnuts, cashews, nut butters, tahini, walnuts - sea vegetables: nori, kombu, wakame, agar-agar - grains: tapioca, quinoa, tortillas - seafood/fish: shrimp, salmon with bones, mackerel with bones, sardines with bones - herbs: borage, lamb's quarter, wild lettuce, nettles, burdock, yellow dock
