Also, as a public service announcement, don't drink raw milk. There's a reason we pasteurize, it's not just for funsies. Raw milk can literally kill you.

Organic whole milk is fine. It's also delicious. I grew up with only skim or 1% milk in the house and never liked milk much at all until I finally tried whole milk.
Non-organic milk can contain bovine growth hormone, pesticides, and residue from antibiotics. Since it's probably not pasture raised, the omega 6 to omega 3 ratios aren't optimal. This is one of the instances where the organic version does make a big difference.
The other problem is that the fat in milk is a good thing in that it helps buffer the sugar to prevent insulin spikes. It may not taste sweet, but milk has quite a bit of sugars in it. I think the fat may also help absorption of protein along with fat soluble nutrients that obviously get removed with the fat. Saturated fat is finally being vindicated of being the villain in our diets. Saturated fat is very stable and provides a great nutritious fuel source and as long as you burn all of your daily calories, there's no excess in your bloodstream anyway.
Whole milk is around 4% fat, so drinking 2% milk denies you of the benefits and taste with minimal caloric reduction. 1% and skim milk taste like water and shouldn't even be called milk in my book.
Milk is however, not a great calcium source which many people consume it for. The dairy association pushes it for that, but there's a big difference between what nutrients may be in a food and how much of that is bio available. You do get some, but it's not absorbed that well for humans. Much better calcium sources are dark greens, sea vegetables, and veggies in general.
If you decide on almond or soy milk as an alternative, beware of the extremely high sugar content in most of the brands and be sure to factor that into your decision. I'd rather have the fat since essential fats are nutrients my body needs and sugar is well, just empty calories.
Btw, you should try full fat organic yogurts. That's what yogurt is supposed to taste like instead of like instant pudding. I love the full fat plain Greek yogurt that Cabot makes with 10% milk fat. It's as thick as sour cream and I go through a couple 2 lb containers a week.
Please follow up with scientifically backed up sources that prove organic milk is better and why and prove that all almond and soy have a high sugar content (not all are sweetened). Also show how full fat organic yogurt is better.
Make your own yogurt, it's much better than any store bought organic brand.0 -

Yessss. Also I agree with your statement about almond milk. I drink the plain kind and it's actually better in sugar than "real" milk.0 -

You shouldn't eat those either.

my SIL picked up a parasite from raw milk. she got it last summer. she's gone through FOUR courses of meds that should kill it and she can still barely keep down any food. and that's one of the LEAST worrisome possibilities.
i don't care if you homogenize or if you want to mix it yourself. but PLEASE DO NOT drink unpasteurized milk.0 -

The answer is yes. With the correct hormone injections, any mammal, male or female, can produce milk. My nephew produced milk for the first two days of life because of the hormones his mom dumped into him right before birth.0 -

Facinating! What harmful effects do these enzymes have?0 -
Thank you for your suggestion, however, I think I will stick to dairy. Almond milk is expensive. More expensive where I live than dairy. I happen to delight in real milk and almond milk must be an acquired taste I don't yet have. I think almond milking is a terrible thing to do to an almond. I will take my almonds whole, thank you. And I have no access to a supply of human breast milk. Therefore, I will stick to my cow's milk. Yum!!

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'.
I like this.
"Trying to incite a riot over milk."
Cracked me up!
