Question about calcium and desiccated Argentine beef liver

November 2, 2001

Dear Dianne, 

We have been avoiding all milk and dairy products 2 hours before and after taking the desiccated Argentine beef liver to get the most benefit from it.

Is the calcium in soymilk different from the calcium in milk and if not, why is it OK to use soy milk to take with the desiccated Argentine beef liver?

Dear S from Missouri,

I'm glad you asked about the calcium. Here are some lines from Mike Brown's book, Sex, Money and Power: The Bible Shows You How, page 55, to help explain:

Three times in the Bible you will find:

. . . Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother's milk.--Exodus 23:19, Exodus 34:26, and Deuteronomy 14:21

This sentence is found at the end of each of these verses after another complete sentence and appears unrelated to the first sentence in the verse. There is a scientific reason for not eating red meat (beef, lamb, etc.) with a milk product. The iron in the red meat binds the calcium in the milk product as it goes through your digestive tract and you lose the benefit of both nutrients.

I have been adhering to this prohibition for about seven years. The Orthodox Jews also follow it in their kosher diet. There was a big write-up in the news about McDonald's opening in Jerusalem in 1995 (I think that was the year) because to be kosher, they could not serve cheeseburgers.

Then came your question, which has always been in the back of my mind because of the scientific reasoning pointed out in Mike's book. I decided to check my cupboards and refrigerator for the food labels on different products. Here is what I found:

 

ITEM	DAILY VALUE
4 oz. evaporated goat’s milk	30%
8 oz. fat-free yogurt	35%
8 oz. whole milk	30%
8 oz. soy milk	8%
8 oz. pineapple juice	2%
8 oz. orange juice	2%
¼ tsp. baking powder	8%
7 in. x 1.25 in. carrot	2%
¼ cup dry oat groats	2%
2 tbs. almond butter	6%
¼ cup dry lentils	4%
2 oz. coconut milk	1%
½ cup kidney beans	2%
¼ cup salmon	10%

Just from the few items above you can see that many foods contain calcium other than dairy products. But if you look at the daily value of the dairy products, you can see that the amount of calcium in them is much higher than the other foods (with the exception of salmon, almond butter, and baking powder).

I mix soy milk, carrots, and oranges with the liver at different times, as well as pineapple juice, spinach, grapes, papaya juice, and kiwifruit. I use a Vitamix, which liquefies any fruit or vegetable you put in it. I try to use a variety of foods to make the liver drink in order to get various nutrients in our diet.

I suggest you decide what is best for you when drinking the liver. Some people can only stand it in chocolate soy milk. A woman put the liver in the chocolate soy milk for her husband, a diabetic (without him knowing), and it helped him immensely.

Sincerely, Dianne Miller
