Observation: Anyone on here drink cow milk?

16 oz of 1% or 2% everyday! and sometimes more depending on what I end up eating. Big breakfast, more milk. Cereal, More milk. Oreos, you bet I'm drinking it! I LOVE IT!!! Oh and sometimes when I get back from a long run I'll make a glass of chocolate milk :-)

I do try to buy organic but more often than not it's not in the budget.

I have always drunk milk. Either straight, with my coffee, with chai tea, smoothies, milkshakes, booze shakes, with my cereal or oatmeal.

Every day, several times. It is the best way for a northern european ancestry person to avoid osteoporosis. Like most gaelic-viking combinations, I am not lactose intolerant and can drink milk, half and half, yogurt, cheese, etc. etc. I read an interesting article in Science about the genetic mutation in northern europeans that prevented them developed lactose intolerance, which happens to most mammals in adulthood. It had much to do with surviving the Ice Age and happened about 30,000 years ago.

I live on a farm and we have a family cow- drink lots of raw milk. The guys drink whole milk and I opt for skim- not much difference in taste when its not processed. So glad there's still lots of milk drinkers out there- too bad there's not more local dairies instead of the huge business farms. Not a fan of store milk but have to drink it when the cow is dried off before she gives birth.

I've always wanted to try milk straight from the cow. Is the taste significantly different than store milk? I imagine it is.

Not my mom, not my milk.

I've been hearing a lot lately that cow's milk is unhealthy for human consumption. It is made for calves to get big or something to that effect.

Well that explains why I have such big calves.

“Ingredients” Added to Cow’s Milk
•A Veritable Hormone Cocktail: including pituitary, steroid, hypothalamic, and thyroid hormones (remember most cows are extremely stressed)
•Gastrointestinal Peptides:
Nerve and epidermal growth factors, and the growth inhibitors MDGI and MAF
•rBGH (Recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone): a genetically engineered hormone directly linked to breast, colon and prostrate cancer. This is injected into cows to increase milk production.[1]
•Pus: National averages show at least 322 million cell-counts of pus per glass![2] This is well-above the human limit for pus-intake, and has been directly linked to paratuberculosis bacteria, as well as Crohn’s disease. The pus comes from infected udders on the cows known as mastitis.

•Blood Cells: The USDA allows up to 1.5 million white blood cells per milliliter of commonly-sold milk.[3] Yes, you are drinking cows blood in the milk and the USDA allows this!
•Antibiotics: Currently, cows are in such a state of disease and mistreatment that they are continually being injected with antibiotic medicines, and rubbed down with chemical-laden ointments to deal with their chronic infections. Currently, regulating committees only test for 4 of the 85 drugs in dairy cows. This means that the other 81 drugs in cow’s milk are coming directly into your glasses and bodies. Estimates show that 38% of milk in the U.S. is “contaminated with sulfa drugs or other antibiotics,” according to a study by the Centre for Science in the Public Interest and published in the Wall Street Journal on December 29, 1989. A study from the FDA data showed that over half of all milk was laden with traces of pharmaceuticals yet nothing has been done to control this
