If powdered milk is free of melamine, is it safe to drink?

DR. ANGEL RESPICIO: Sally Fallon in her article, “Dirty Secrets of the Food Processing Industry” has this to say on the production of powdered milk: “Liquid milk is forced through a tiny hole at high temperature and pressure, and then blown out into the air. This causes a lot of nitrates to form and the cholesterol in the milk to oxidize.  All liquid reduced-fat milk (1%, 2%, skim milk) have dried powdered milk concentrate added to give them body.”

What’s wrong with oxidized cholesterol?

Says Fallon, “Those of you who are familiar with my work know that pure unoxidized cholesterol is your best friend; you don’t have to worry about this natural cholesterol in your food (from full cream milk and egg yolks); however, you do not want to eat oxidized cholesterol. Oxidized cholesterol contributes to the buildup of plaque in the arteries, to atherosclerosis. So when you drink reduced-fat milk thinking that it will help you avoid heart disease, you are actually consuming oxidized cholesterol, which initiates the process of heart disease.”
