    Seriously, what I am supposed to eat with Oreos, if not milk?

    Pfft...

    More Oreos?

    This is the only acceptable answer to such a painful question.

    Except chocolate ice cream. Always crushed Oreos on chocolate ice cream.

    Okay, I'll play, yes I'm using a site built and maintained by developers. But that doesn't mean I have forgotten how to listen to my body. It was a general statement, not aimed at anyone in particular.
    Are we done now?

    I sure hope so. The anthropomorphizing and illogical appeals to emotion posing as legitimate arguments against the nutritional benefits of milk consumption are getting old.

    Ahhh....The plagiarism of another (illogial, unscientific) site combined with the distinct increase in screechiness and general hysteria in response to the debunking of a position took me back to my days of teaching college writing. Next, the crying. I would collect the tears in a vial and wear them on a chain around my neck.

    Yeah, the ACS says so too:

    Uhm...did you read the article you linked? Because it straight up says there's no reason to believe such claims.

    From your own link:
    "Do antiperspirants increase a person's risk of breast cancer?

    There are no strong epidemiologic studies in the medical literature that link breast cancer risk and antiperspirant use, and very little scientific evidence to support this claim.

    In fact, a carefully designed epidemiologic study of this issue published in 2002 compared 813 women with breast cancer and 793 women without the disease. The researchers found no link between breast cancer risk and antiperspirant use, deodorant use, or underarm shaving."

    You're taking that part out of context.

    Taken in context reading that entire article there is literally (and i mean that literally) no where it states antiperspirants/deodorants with or without aluminium cause or contribute to cancer.

    "All of these claims are largely untrue."

    See, not entirely. Do you really think you could take something that doesn't exist in nature like aluminum and just shove it up your arm to stop yourself from getting rid of the body's toxins?

    Did you just say that aluminum doesn't exist in nature?

    It's one a' them there fancy elements that only exists for a millisecond under controlled laboratory conditions unless compressed into can format.

    Okay, I got it, jokes on me. I took it hook, line, and sinker. ;)

    I have seen soil and water on or in every farm or forest I have ever entered in my entire life, so yes, I have seen aluminum in both places. It is the most abundant metal in the earth's crust, which in case you're confused, is the part we actually see and touch.

    Well of course those places have it, you're testing them for it. You wouldn't be getting analysis for the pristine, natural areas that don't have it.

    LOL--I fell for it too. Veeeerrrry subtle. Thanks for the laugh!

    It's an element on the stinking periodic table! It's not a man-made substance. It's harvested straight out of the dirt! (or rock)

    So yeah, it's on farms and in forests all over the place.

    From your own link:
    "Do antiperspirants increase a person's risk of breast cancer?

    There are no strong epidemiologic studies in the medical literature that link breast cancer risk and antiperspirant use, and very little scientific evidence to support this claim.

    You're taking that part out of context.

    Taken in context reading that entire article there is literally (and i mean that literally) where it states antiperspirants/deodorants with or without aluminium cause or contribute to cancer.

    Finally someone read the entire article.

    Because we know you didn't.

    Good job though.
    You came to the site as a new poster, found a milk thread, latched on to a tidbit about deodorant and completely derailed the thread with nonsense and a complete lack of basic comprehension of reality.
    Troll level 6.

    So yeah, it's on farms and in forests all over the place.

    But it's processed into foil and cans by human beings, and anything we human beings touch is Evil. Because Nature is pristine and Good, and human beings are Evil by nature. Gaia and all that. All other species are good because they're natural. We're the only beings on the planet that are unnatural. It's pretty much the legend of the Fall from Genesis tarted up in New Age format.

    Okay, I'll play, yes I'm using a site built and maintained by developers. But that doesn't mean I have forgotten how to listen to my body. It was a general statement, not aimed at anyone in particular.
    Are we done now?

    I sure hope so. The anthropomorphizing and illogical appeals to emotion posing as legitimate arguments against the nutritional benefits of milk consumption are getting old.

    Ahhh....The plagiarism of another (illogial, unscientific) site combined with the distinct increase in screechiness and general hysteria in response to the debunking of a position took me back to my days of teaching college writing. Next, the crying. I would collect the tears in a vial and wear them on a chain around my neck.

    Yeah, the ACS says so too:

    Uhh...

    "All of these claims are largely untrue."

    See, not entirely. Do you really think you could take something that doesn't exist in nature like aluminum and just shove it up your arm to stop yourself from getting rid of the body's toxins?

    Did you just say that aluminum doesn't exist in nature?

    Have you ever seen aluminum on a farm or a forest?

    It's an element on the stinking periodic table! It's not a man-made substance. It's harvested straight out of the dirt! (or rock)

    So yeah, it's on farms and in forests all over the place.

    Thank you for pointing out more evidence it is a chemical.

    Oxygen is a chemical.

    ETA and I apologize for feeding the troll

    bad for you

    & especially for the calf and mother cows

    Those cows would be in a lot of pain if they were unmilked. Dairy cows are upset with you if you fail to milk them on schedule.

    Totally wrong.
    Cows are forcefully inseminated and the moment they give birth the baby calf is ripped away before it can even walk or open it's eyes. The babies are put into cages (some) for veal and the mother cows are milked, for their milk. The entire process is painful and unethical. But yeah... keep listening to the multi-billion dollar dairy industry when they tell you milk does a body good.

    Oh, and momma cows are also upset when their babies are taken away from them.

    The words Ethical farming and slaughter just don't make sense.

    I grew up on a dairy farm. NONE OF THESE THINGS HAPPENED on our farm. None of the cows were artificially inseminated. The calves drank from their mothers until they were ready to be weaned. The calves were well cared for and were either added to the heard, or sold at market once they were older. It is absolutely possible to make choices that don't support the practices you are talking about. But to be honest, when someone comes in with the type of approach as you are using here, I actually want to eat all the cows and drink all the milk.

    ETA: and yes, failing to milk the cows was painful for them.

    Well I never said all of them were doing that. But even one is too many.
    Go ahead and eat cows and drink milk all day everyday, that's your problem not mine :smile:

    Our problem? We don't have a problem with it. You on the other hand seem very distressed about it.

    Uhm...did you read the article you linked? Because it straight up says there's no reason to believe such claims.

    From your own link:
    "Do antiperspirants increase a person's risk of breast cancer?

    There are no strong epidemiologic studies in the medical literature that link breast cancer risk and antiperspirant use, and very little scientific evidence to support this claim.

    In fact, a carefully designed epidemiologic study of this issue published in 2002 compared 813 women with breast cancer and 793 women without the disease. The researchers found no link between breast cancer risk and antiperspirant use, deodorant use, or underarm shaving."

    You're taking that part out of context.

    Taken in context reading that entire article there is literally (and i mean that literally) where it states antiperspirants/deodorants with or without aluminium cause or contribute to cancer.

    Finally someone read the entire article.

    Because we know you didn't.

    Good job though.
    You came to the site as a new poster, found a milk thread, latched on to a tidbit about deodorant and completely derailed the thread with nonsense and a complete lack of basic comprehension of reality.
    Troll level 6.

    He said, " it states antiperspirants/deodorants with or without aluminium cause or contribute to cancer."
    That's how I know he read the whole thing.
    You're taking the parts where it says "no strong evidence" in the wrong context. It says, "no strong evidence". That isn't the same as no evidence. Maybe you're fine with risking cancer and dementia over strength of evidence, but not everyone is.

    No.

    He is disagreeing with you. You misquoted him.

    ETA
    And I did read the whole article myself and I took nothing out of context. The entirety of the message being put forward is "don't worry about it. It's just an email rumor."
    If you read the whole thing and think that it in any way insinuates that there is any reason to think that antiperspirant causes breast cancer, you have some serious problems with reading comprehension.
