    I cut out dairy all together because it doesn't digest in my body and also it makes my face break out really bad

    I don't get it. I can understand not liking milk, but to exclude it solely because of dieting purposes? Am I missing something.

    Milk is such an easy way to get in your protein. Fairlife milk provides me with 13 grams of protein per cup. If you love milk, I don't see any reason to stop drinking it.

    Some people think it is mucus forming in the gut? I must admit to feeling guilty about drinking milk for some reason ... But I have trouble getting enough calcium and protein so drink it.

    I have heard that drinking milk leads to loss of calcium from bones leading to osteoporosis, a few times lately.

    Is this even remotely true.

    I realise I'm only one person but according to a dexa scan my bone density is very high which means I'm all good calcium wise right?

    But I drink a lot of milk. Less lately, but growing up at a guess I would drink/eat about a litre of milk a day maybe more, just about every day, on weetbix, with milo, just straight.

    Am I an anomaly where milk consumption hasn't stripped my bones of calcium or is this claim just something vegans tell their kids when they misbehave :tongue:

    This study debunks that myth:

    I like milk however not drinking it as I wish cuts out about 200 calories a day. While eating at a deficit, it doesn't make sense for me to spend calories on a drink. It is an easy cut for me. I will save calories for it if I am going to eat warm cake or cookies.

    I tried almond milk but did not like the taste.

    Other than that, it's totally gross and not meant for human consumption.
    I always thought milk was nasty no matter the flavor

    Honestly milk upsets my stomach. I love it though! Its probably dumb that I still eat cottage cheese or cheese in general but its affects are minimal compared to a glass of just straight up milk (or that could just be psychological). We drink lactaid or almond milk generally. If only there was a lactose free cottage cheese...

    Or maybe the pus in goat cheese isn't gross. Much more tasty pus and good to eat. Mmmmmmm, who doesn't love the taste of goat pus?

    Perhaps the goat is just more appropriately dressed?

    I don't drink the milk. I eat the cheese, which tends to have further pasteurization which destroys a lot of the bacteria. Any rate, goat cheese is easier on my stomach and that's what I go by.

    Well then, that is even better news.

    I never liked milk, even as a child. I liked chocolate milk but only because I liked to eat all of the chocolate powder or syrup that fell to the bottom of the glass. I'm not vegetarian/vegan either but I much prefer the taste of unsweetened flax, soy, almond or coconut milk. Especially in my morning coffee.

    I don't like milk. I think it tastes nasty. I can stomach chocolate milk but only on rare occasions. I eat cheese, yogurt, ice cream. I don't even like milk in cereal. I have been buying yogurt and mixing my cereal with it.

    Things I learned today:
    Milk isn't meant for humans to drink but apparently everything else is okay.
    Milk has pus, except it doesn't.
    Pus is only gross until you pasteurize it.

    Goats are magical. I guess stealing milk from this kids is okay but from calves is evil and gross?

    I don't understand the lack of consistency.
