One box a day&#8211;three cellophane-wrapped packets of 12 cookies each&#8211;for about 35 years. Every day. In doubt? Do the math. <\/p>\n<p>In an e-mail from my good friend, Dr. Cliff Oliver of La Jolla, CA, he wrote, <em>And to think, you could have been the poster child for<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/thetruthaboutcancer.com\/oreos-milk-cancer\/?mpweb=144-1706162-167914920\" target=\"_blank\">this.<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Hcq<\/p>\n<p>I followed the link and found an article titled <em>Oreos and Milk: A Cancer-Causing Combination?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Then I scrolled down to the article summary and replied as follows to Cliff&#8217;s e-mail. <\/p>\n<p>Doctor, doctor, <\/p>\n<p>re: the article summary:<\/p>\n<h2>Statistics show that the Oreo cookie is the number one cookie in America (and many other countries) and many people love eating them with milk.<\/h2>\n<p><em>Yup, that was me. <\/em><\/p>\n<h2>When you combine high fructose corn syrup with salt and animal fat (cow\u2019s milk), you make a combination of chemicals that elicit a pleasure response in the brain that demands more stimulation.<\/h2>\n<p><em>They did taste really good.<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>The scientifically formulated balance of sugar, fat, and chemicals in Oreos and milk keeps the brain wanting more, even when the stomach is full.<\/h2>\n<p><em>Who me? I only ate one box a day for 35 years. If you are counting, that is more than half a million.<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>A recent scientific study determined that the high fat\/high sugar combination is as addictive as morphine and cocaine.<\/h2>\n<p><em>Well,they got that right. <\/em><\/p>\n<h2>Consuming large quantities of Oreo cookies, and washing it down with high fat milk laden with hormones and antibiotics, creates a lethal blend that greatly increases your risk of cancer, obesity, and diabetes.<\/h2>\n<p><em>Lucky me.
