    also are we the only animals to drink another animals milk?
    As far as I know, yes. We're also the only animals to cook their food. Should we stop doing that as well? We're at the top of the food chain, and I'll be damned if I'm going to step down from it.

    Can I just add that inter-species nursing has occurred?

    why are humans designed to drink milk from a cow?

    answer is we're not.

    all of us have, at minimum, a very minor lactose intolerance. wanna know why you get phlegmy and mucousy (even if it's only minor) after drinking milk? well those reactions occur when something toxic enters the human system. hmm. interesting...

    Oh, that's right! At the very least, the cute stories at the end of the local evening news where a dog is nursing a baby pig.

    A study of clinical trials published by the International Journal of Obesity last year found that people who consumed the most dairy while on a calorie-restricted diet lost more weight than those who consumed less.

    Men's Health write-up here:
    http://news.menshealth.com/dairy-weight-los/2012/12/11/

    Abstract here:
    http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22249225

    "Increased dairy consumption without energy restriction might not lead to a significant change in weight or body composition; whereas inclusion of dairy products in energy-restricted weight loss diets significantly affects weight, body fat mass, lean mass and WC compared with that in the usual weight loss diets."

    Amen!!

    I have to admit that if I drink straight milk (say, in a bowl of Fruity Pebbles or with some Toll House Cookies), I will get almost immediate explosive diarrhea. So, I don't eat a lot of cereal or chocolate chip cookies.

    dairy is not an essential food group, and women can successfully produce enough milk for their babies without consuming dairy products. If not then how did the human race survive before the domestication of milk producing animals?
    Duh, they didn't. All of those people who lived before the domestication of milk producing animals are now dead. How do you explain that?

    Actually no. It does happen where a mother will breastfeed babies of a different species.

    We also weren't "designed" to operate cars, fly, use computers, light switches, build infrastructure... I guess we should go back to being hunter gatherers and living in caves.

    I'm pretty sure these animals weren't designed to drink each other's milk either, but they don't seem to have a problem with it.

    Everything makes you fat. Everything will kill you or give you cancer. Just learn moderation and balancing and you can still enjoy most everything.

    Untrue. Dogs will drink cow's milk. So will cat's. Many animals will drink either cow or goat's milk. Humans are not the only ones.

    I replaced my daily cup of milk with a half a cup of oatmeal and didn't see any results.

    As Joey from Friends said...bring those hands together :wink: :laugh: Mmmmm milky porridge.
