I find milk disgusting, but I love yogurt and cheese. However, I'm lactose intolerant, so I limit those.0

I do paleo. No dairy. Here is the lowdown. Dairy actually causes alot of allergies you might not be aware of, it is a big trigger for alot of allergies due to the hormones and the way they process milk these days. It is not always about the lactose tolerance. I have found as well as many others that getting rid of dairy has cleared up some adult acne ive had, clearer skin and i think clearer, and memory is better. I drink coconut milk in my shakes or cereals now.0

Oh I love milk, I'd easily drink a pint a day of semi skimmed (never skimmed and full fat is too creamy) but I can't have too much dairy as it gives me bad skin. So I have coconut or almond milk on my porridge now. Still cows milk in my tea though, as no other type of milk tastes right in tea! And I still occasionally treat myself to a nice cold glass of yumminess!0

Milk causes allergies? And eliminating it improves memory?
Please to post links to studies. Really looking forward to reading these.0 -

Anything to back that up?0 -
I have consumed dairy all my life and never had acne issues. I get one right around that TOM but thats about it. even during puberty it was the same. I have always had a clear complexion. I have allergies but none of which are caused by consuming dairy.0

Well, I'm allergic to celery and eggs. This means celery and eggs are bad and everyone should avoid them. "milk causes allergies" is not a good enough reason to avoid it for those who are not allergic to it, otherwise virtually everything is an allergen to someone somewhere and we end up breatharian.0 -
Is the allergy thing like the histamine response the Arbonne pusher on my FB bangs on about? She also believes in detoxes so colour me sceptical...........0

I got tired of milk tasting off before we finished the carton. We don't eat dry cereal or drink milk by the glass. I prefer almond or coconut milk in most recipes for the taste and they last longer than animal milk.0

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.I make room for milk. I just don't drink it with oreo cookies anymore. (And that's OK).

I love milk! I don't drink a great deal of it though. Maybe 240 ml.0

I didn't realize that dairy might be messing with my digestion until I cut it out. Now I never get heartburn anymore. I miss cheese and greek yogurt but my tummy is very grateful I stopped it. I am also partially lactose intolerant. I can't drink milk but could eat cheese and yogurt. It's worth it for me since I just weaned myself off heart burn medication which I have taken for over 10 years.0

I typically drink 2 glasses of whole milk a day (by itself and with a protein shake) along with a serving of whole fat Greek yogurt. Love it.0

I guess i'm one of the weird ones and drink WHOLE milk? I think so many people get scared because of the calories, but there are a lot of things people can benefit from that are higher in calories, then say, the fat-free counterparts.
Personally i like drinking chocolate milk. I wasn't going to live without it forever so i didn't take it out of my diet. I like to occasionally have cereal, so once again, i didn't take it out.0 -
What's unfortunate to me is that I have developed a real allergy to dairy. I love cheese, full-fat yogurt, chocolate milk after a bike ride, etc., but can't indulge anymore. My eyes, mouth, lips and throat itch annoyingly. My eyes water and get puffy. My sinuses fill up with mucus and my mind fills up with fog. I need to sleep it off.
The attitude towards those that don't eat dairy in this thread is similar to the "woo-thinkers" they are hating on. Superior and smug. Some people just can't eat it and it has nothing to do with current trends in pop culture.0
