    Recently I stopped drinking cow's milk, first I ditched full cream because it was too 'heavy' and then just gave it up completely in favour of almond milk. IMHO, milk was designed to make a 100 kg calf into a 1000 kg cow. Not good for us! Also, there's that myth about pus and blood. I know it's not true but it gets me every time... ugh.

    I like almond milk in my coffee and sub it out to save calories in some dessert recipes. Milk isn't bad for you though, although that's a popular MFP myth people like to spout on here. In fact I sure your trolling right now with your op. Raw milk has excellent health benefits and most people who are lactose intolerant have no problems drinking raw milk. Most of the benefits of milk are lost in the pasteurization process. That's why calves often don't survive when fed pasteurized milk. I'm sure someone will chime in in how bad it is for you momentarily....

    Eh. I fed my kids raw human milk and frozen human milk. Many of the benefits were lost during the freezing process, but I wouldn't say most. However, raw milk is an effective topical antibiotic (anti-viral agent as well)

    Many but not most huh? Kinda splitting hairs if you ask me. Anyways freezing is the opposite of pasteurizing so I wouldn't try to compare the effects of the two.

    OP: Why are you asking a question in the topic if you're making a assertion in the body of the OP?

    Are you attempting to incite a riot over milk?

    :huh:


    It appears you really don't want to ask a question, you want to argue why you're 'right'.

    How many other mammals drink animal milk past a very young age?

    How many animals cook their food?

    How many animals sit at a desk every day?

    How many animals read?

    How many animals built modern civilization?

    How many animals wear clothes?

    The appeal to nature, of which this is a variety, is a classic fallacious rhetorical tactic.

    Hey, stop ruining my fun!

    I have to say "how many mammals lift weights" was by far my favourite. :flowerforyou:

    Finally, someone who gets it. Dairy is for making baby mammals fat. Congrats for opening your eyes
    I wish you could explain this to the farmers in the U.S who have this for their livelihood. Since you seem to have a opinion on every subject on these boards, explain why since you always make others give examples.

    I invite any of them to use my stove as they see fit.

    Don't get the whole other animals don't drink milk argument. It's not like they choose not to, it isn't an option for them. If you give it to them they will drink it people. Don't you have any pets?

    Freezing destroys the immune factors and changes the fats. What additional effects does pasteurizing have?

    No, cows milk isn't bad. I give it to my young children everyday, and I eat cottage cheese, and yogurt most days. I choose almond milk for my cereal and coffee because it's calcium rich and low in calories.

    How many have that option?

    A lot of adult male animals, lions, apes, cats, could if they wanted to.

    Mammals lactate for as long as they are suckled, so hypothetically any mammal that forms a semi-permanent bond with a female that has been pregnant at least once can continue drinking milk.

    A lioness reprimands an older cub who tries to suckle. I doubt they would allow an adult male to suckle.

    That's actually true. Human breastmilk is awesome like that, I've used it many times on my own kids for conjunctivitis when they were babies.

    Rape happens all the time in the animal kingdom. If they wanted some milk, they'd gang up if they had a problem one on one.

    People used to raise their eyebrows because I breast fed him till he was almost 5. And I say, well... you just look at the results: I've raised a sensitive devoted boy, who has turn into a sensitive devoted man.

    I like to think of my lactose tolerance as a genetic gift that means I was meant to consume dairy as an adult. It would be unnatural to squander it.

    Okay, not really, but when the argument turns to nature doesn't the fact that many of us are lactose tolerant mean it's natural for us? Also, clever humans, always with the ideas about what might be tasty and sustaining.

    My cousin did that too. Her nipples were also sore all the time from a huge boy with full set of teeth climbing on her lap lifting her shirt up.

    He always was into grown folks business too if I recall.

    Different strokes, for different folks.

    Except for the fact that eventually you lose your latch reflex.

    Yes, it makes sense now. Derp in action.
