One of my favorite pancake recipes has both sodium bicarbonate AND buttermilk in it.
Instant. Death.
Admit it, you died years ago. No other possibility.
Oh my, was it a dwarf necromancer that brought her back?
Sometimes I wonder how many people might was well be zombies. Their diets, both physical and mental, leaving them the equivalent of walking dead.

I'm not lactose intolerant though.

It can cause acne, and does for me. It can also be a big cause of constipation and bloating. It depleats the body of calium and can cause cancer. Plus on an ethical side it's bad. It is high in fat and has cholesterol in it which your body doesn't need or want.
If it causes acne in your body, it it bad for YOU - that doesn't make it bad for everyone. Same goes for the bloating and constipation... as for the cancer reference, I would love to see a scientific study that links milk consumption to cancer.
Also, your body needs both fat and cholesterol to survive... there are vitamins that your body cannot process without the presence of fat. And the links from dietary cholesterol to serum cholesterol (i.e. the amount in your blood) have all but been disproved in recent studies.
Milk is not healthy. It causes diseases, and it does cause acne. You can research and see for yourself. The dairy industry pays a lot of money for advertisement and to cover the fact that they are unhealthy. I would parallel it to when doctors used to recommend smoking. The body does not need any extra cholesterol because it makes its own. I didn't say don't eat any fat, just eat lower fat, and less saturated and/or unnatural fat. Dairy, especially cheese contains more saturated fat than if think anyone would like to consume if they were being health conscious. Milk irritates your system, causing bloating and constipation due to the fact that humans aren't meant to consume a cows breast milk, they shouldn't still be breast feeding as teens and adults. Their bodies don't enjoy eating strange hormones and pus cells.
Dairy does literally none of those things to me. Thank you northern european lactose tolerating genes. If you don't wish to consume dairy for your own principles, fine to each their own. Spreading false alarmist info is not cool.
What if you're not Northern European though?
Still doesn't make dairy bad. Just means if you are personally lactose intolerant, probably not the best for you. I can't eat Kimchi without severe repercussions, does that make Kimchi a horrible food that even people who can tolerate should stop eating? I also break out from Mangoes. Everyone should stop eating mangoes.
I eat vegan for more than a month twice a year. The only results I keep seeing is missing dairy and anxiously waiting to be able to eat it again.
Seriously, where are you getting your research from?

Milk is good for baby cows. First word... baby.. milk is for babys are you are not a baby.... second word cow... you are not a cow.
But moving away from simple logic. Just check out nutritionfacts.org for all the health problems related to consuming dairy0 -

Baby cows don't drink greek yogurt. So it's okay!
Then again, I'm not greek. Maybe then it's not meant for me?
Logic is hard.6 -

Actually scratch that. Seeds aren't meant for consumption at all, they're meant for growing into majestic trees and other plants. If you eat seeds you're a murderer.12 -

Bananas do not naturally grow in Illinois. Therefore, how could they be meant for people who live in Illinois? It's unnatural!1

Yup. Lincoln was born in Kentucky. He was an invasive species even in his own "Land of Lincoln."1 -

That depends where you get your milk from. I buy local (the farm is 30 minutes from me), organic, grass fed milk.
In general dairy cattle are treated quite well - probably among the most pampered of farm animals. Better treated cows produce more milk per cow, and the milk is of better quality.
Have you ever heard a cow cry for days after her calf was taken away? They are kept in a constant state of lactation and are genetically modified to the point where their utters are so large that they could not even walk. How do you come to the conclusion that they are generally treated well?0 -

And then they do these kind of mutations to them too for meat:
That cow is more jacked than 98% of MFP users. I want his stack.1 -

That's a Belgian Blue and their extreme muscling is due to a completely natural mutation which allows them to develop more muscle than typical cows and also inhibits fat deposits which is why they look so lean.2 -

Lack? That doesn't even make sense. You're claiming there is a chemical in the body that naturally keeps you from getting more muscles. Monsanto should come up with better stories when they're making these things.
That's what he's saying. And he's right.

There were native Americans here long ago. Surely you aren't calling them unnatural. Maybe the mammoths (or whatever) should have built a HUGE wall over the Bering land bridge. Those on side with humans could have paid for that wall.0
