    I don't believe in the benefits of dairy.

    that being said, not drinking milk or consuming dairy is a personal choice and your prerogative. That is great if you do not care to. But do not spread lies and half truths about milk. It is unbecoming.
    Would you say that spreading lies about milk, leaves a sour taste in your mouth? Don't have a cow. She's just being cheesy. We should all just moove on, to greener pastures. Just remember, cream always floats to the top.

    LOL:laugh:

    The only milk I drink is in the form of beer.

    Is milk healthy? No. Is meat healthy? No. Are vegetables and fruits healthy? No. Not unless you live on your own private island far from land and grow all your own food without chemical fertilizers or pesticides.

    If you can afford to buy organic, lucky you, it probably helps. But it still isn't as healthy as it would be if our planet wasn't drenched in chemicals.
    The article singles out one food (dairy) and details the man-made health hazards in that food without mentioning that the foods we 'should be eating instead' (fruits and vegetables) have similar manmade hazards.

    Ever notice how many e-coli outbreaks are from organic veggies? Almost all of them in the last decade. Hardly makes tham a healthier choice. Although, a case of food poisoning may help you lose weight.

    I haven't seen on the news where organic vegetables and fruits have been re-called due to e-coli or listeria.

    Everything I see and read are recalls for conventionally grown vegetables and fruits. Just last week cantaloupe (not organically grown) are being recalled.

    "and the National Institute of Health did a study and found dairy to be a DETERRENT to osteoperosis and the high protein content of dairy actually takes calcium from the body."
    ummmm does she know what the word deterrent actually means? Pretty sure that means that milk helps prevent osteoporosis... maybe I'm wrong.

    Also milk is awesome. So is goats milk, great alternative for those of you with cow milk issues.
    But it all comes down to choice, we get to choose what we put in our bodies... so I'll leave you all to your own choices and will continue with mine.

    The e coli and listeria on vegetables usually comes from contaminated run off from large cattle farms. E coli is a part of cow digestion and listeria used to be only heard of in dairy products. Because the animal products are usually either cooked or pasteurized, it is not much of a problem. It is a very big problem for things like vegetables to get them because we eat them raw.

    People, don't trust a woman who doesn't know basic vocabulary to read studies accurately.

    Just because a particular food isn't for you doesn't mean you need to demonize it for other people. I mean if you really want to get specific I can find you some studies and FDA laws for how many insect parts are allowed in processed grains that one person listed on your food diary (the quinoa and both the peanuts used to make the peanutbutter and the oats used in the Quaker Oat bars you ate) and comment on how contradictory you are by demonizing milk, yet consuming protein powders and Quaker Oats bars, both of which use whey.

    How about you eat what you eat according to your tastes and beliefs and let others do the same :)

    I've always wondered why we don't serve human milk to humans. There could be a lot of job opportunities there :). You can find some evidence to support just about every position. If you have issues with milk and lactose intolerance, or don't like it, don't use it, otherwise do. I personally like milk in my tea and looove my lattes, but cannot tolerate ice cream or yoghurt. These are my decisions to make and I am capable of making them on my own. But stop putting your scewed beliefs on others. There is not one right way to live or eat!! There are plenty other reasons for the deseases you mentioned.

    Even worse is what your body does to poor old milk. All those digestive acids, it doesn't stand a chance.

    Will no one think of the milk?

    And the poor baby cows, for which it was intended, that no longer get to drink it.

    What do they do with the unwanted baby cows from the dairy industry? That's where the veal industry comes from.

    They drag the babies away from the mother immediately upon birth. The mother doesn't want to give up the baby, but the dairy workers move quickly. It's a really sad thing to watch, but you all need your milk, right?

    That total fiction. Why are you making things up? There is a veal industry but it does not involve all the poor baby cows who now don't get their milk. You are totally anthomorphizing. I can assure you in the dairy industry there are no "unwanted" baby cows.

    I'm not sure what is true or not, but since I gave up milk a few weeks ago both my asthma and acne have next to gone!!! Definitely good for me, personally.

    Completely agree! And with milk, along with everything else we choose to put into our bodies...it is all about moderation.

    I recently switched from skim milk to Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk. I like the Silk one the best.

    You can say what you want. AND I'm sure that the OP has made some very valid points. Fact of the matter is that you can find good and bad in ANY food on the planet. Even fruits and veggies people. EVERYTHING should be eaten in moderation. I'm not giving up milk, I have a glass of it right by me, or dairy.

    I'm 27 and I've never broken a bone, gotten a cavity or had any tooth problems, and with the exception of my high blood pressure (due to my weight) I have NO health problems. I credit drinking milk three times a week for part of this.

    I love milk and cheese. I have cut down on it a lot since it makes my face break out. I substitute with soy milk whenever I can. I can give up regular milk since I can get soy milk but giving up on cheese entirely would break my heart.

    If all the baby cows get used for veal, where do hamburgers come from? Are you saying that all those hunks of fillet mignon and strip steak are actually veal?

    We are the only specie on earth that drinks milk as adults.

    We are also the only species on earth to build space shuttles. Coincidence? I think not.

    My boyfriend goes through about 1/2 gallon of organic 2% milk per day...not kidding. Every 2 or 3 days he's buying a new gallon.

    He's still alive. Swear.

    The constant stream of vitriol spewed forth on these forms threads makes me weep for humanity. So much anger, so much hate. No wonder the world is going to hell in a hand basket.

    we're also the only species that can extract it from other species. Besides, who hasn't seen that tiger nursing those piglets online? They drank tiger milk just fine, it's not that other animals won't. They simply can't.
