Dairy in and of itself does not make you fat. The hormones in dairy can cause weight gain. Cows are given growth hormones and a number of other undesirable "extras". These growth hormones have been linked to the increase in the average breast size over the past 50 years. Having some dairy is fine, I'd say go for organic, but that's with anything you eat.0

Calories from dairy are identical to calories from anywhere. Moderate amounts won't "make you fat." But, eating less calories dense foods like that will make it easier to control overeating, and eating more diary to lose body fat makes no sense at all.0

If Megan Fox says it, it has to be true! Goodbye dairy!
THIS. Megan Fox, as we all know, is a great role model and the absolute epitome of intelligence.0 -
I like to get all my peer reviewed science from Megan.If Megan Fox says it, it has to be true! Goodbye dairy!

She's an idiot!
True fact.If she isn't drinking or eating any dairy, I sure hope she isn't breast-feeding that kid. He might be malnourished!
Completely false.0 -
That's not at all accurate. Women who are nursing don't have to drink cows milk in order to be getting enough nourishment for them and their babies. Calcium and vitamin D can be found in various vegetables. And with the chemicals most companies are pumping into the cows, cows milk isn't all that good for you to begin with. I'm curious who decided all those years ago that cows milk was so great anyways. There are very healthy people who don't eat or drink any dairy products at all. It's about having a balanced diet.0

She meant arguing with ourselves over whether or not we should drink milk, unlike every other animal on the planet that drinks milk without arguing with itself first.
Man is the only animal capable of determining its own "nature".Man is the only species on the planet that feels it is necessary to go against his own nature. Why is that?
Other animals stop consuming milk after the first couple years of life. We're the only ones who switch from breast milk (or formula) to milk and drink it throughout our lives.
Really? I guess I'm going to have to tell my dog and cats that they're doing it wrong according to you.
You giving your cat or dog a bowl of milk isn't the same as adult cats and dogs consuming milk in nature. Why don't ask your vet what they think about giving milk to your animals. They'll tell you to stop.
I have. They said it's fine as long as the animal is at a healthy weight and is not overconsuming calories. Hmmmm, where have I heard that before......???0 -
It's not about dairy making you fat it is about how much of it you are drinking. It is not healthy to elminate any food group. I drink milk with breakfast. limit your dairy intake to 2-3 servings and you will be fine.0

If my dog and cat could get milks themselves, I'm sure they would be happy to consume it.0 -
Most commercial dairy is full of different hormones and additives. This CAN mess with your body processes including how and where you store fat. You can get plenty of calcium and vitamin D from other natural sources including almond milk, kale and spinach. I consume minimal amounts of dairy and am easily able to meet or exceed my daily need for calcium, etc. You should look up Dr. Fuhrman. His website has lots of information about your questions.0

If she could get a cow or goat to stand still, she would still happily drink it.

I retracted this. Three times now. DOES ANYBODY EVER READ THE WHOLE THREAD???0 -
WHY WOULD I TAKE MY DOG TO A VET?! IT'S AGAINST THEIR NATURE! WOULD A DOG GO TO THE VET ON THEIR OWN?! HELLO!!You giving your cat or dog a bowl of milk isn't the same as adult cats and dogs consuming milk in nature. Why don't ask your vet what they think about giving milk to your animals.

I cut out all dairy after I had my baby as well. I am now 20 pounds lighter than prepregnancy, almost 70 pounds lost since birth. I do believe cutting it out has something to do with it. I dont think that dairy makes you fat but it adds unneeded calories to food (cheese, butter.. etc). It makes it easier to say no to ice cream, cheesecake, and chocolate. I have seen success with this. But, I have also made healthier choices elsewhere to, so I dont credit it all to no dairy.
*Forgot to add that I cut out dairy to my baby having a milk protein allergy0 -

It is very easy to buy hormone and additive free organic milk these days. It is widely available. And yes you can get some of the nutrients from other sources. That is true of just about any nutrient and food. It doesn't just apply to milk. Try doing a search on how many foods can provide potassium. Or vitamin A. Or folic acid. etc, etc, etc.0 -
also are we the only animals to drink another animals milk?
I think we are the only to do it consistently and under normal circumstances. I've seen instances where at zoos or shelters or even with family pets, where a nursing mama with nurse a baby of different species. But I don't think it's something that would just happen in the wild...0 -

Dogs are meant to be poked and prodded by humans!0 -
Again, probably because we're the only ones that have learned how to farm it.

People - your body doesn't care what your food is or where it came from. It cares about what is in it. Milk is not magically evil because it came from another animal, in the same way Seaweed is not magically evil because it came from the bottom of the ****ing sea.0 -
I eat a lot of dairy. Cottage cheese, whey protein & whole milk shakes everyday haven't hurt me at all. Actually, I look better than I did when I didn't ingest dairy and I have kids. I'll admit that Megan Fox does look good, though.0

My guess is that most actresses in Hollywood today say they work out and eat right, but probably just mainline amphetemines to stay skinny. Hey, worked in the past!
Moral of the story: drink your milk!0
