Ok, that is one thing BST... do we want 5 year old kids having IGF-1 factors from cows milk?

I know the relationship between vitamin D and calcium - what I should of said was a few servings of broccoli and other leafy greens, a days worth of greens with calcium in them. Anyway, new studies on calcium show we may not need as much as we thought, and absorability issues with supplements, etc...

Right, made in all species but they vary in type by animal. Our growth hormones are not the same as a cows. And even if they were, drink milk gives us an EXCESS of hormones not needed.

That's because you give it to them. In the wild, in a natural survival setting, cats do not drink milk. Sorry.

There is nothing moral about it, I don't give a crap about cows or baby cows. I love a good steak, but I'm just saying there is healthier options than milk for calcium. We were brought up thinking milk is healthy because back in the day there was a U.S. deficiency of vitamins A and D which they added to milk. Now those…

There are plenty. All have peptide variations that aren't recognizable by human metabolism. You can do your own research, but one of them is Bovine somatotropin or bovine somatotrophin (abbreviated bST and BST)

Why don't you do us all a favor and start that, and let us know how it goes?

Even if dairy farms do NOT use 'hormones' to increase milk production, it doesn't mean that there isn't still cow hormones in cow's milk because there is. The hormones from the cow are in there, and they are not meant to be metabolized by humans. That is why they cause many overseen health problems that arent attributed to…

Great post. Agreed. What we are fueling are bodies with, the one body we get for our whole life, should be well studied and known by everyone. The crap people put in their bodies is amazing.

Ok, true, Cows produce milk after giving birth to offspring. There wouldn't be any point in milk production *during* pregnancy, since the purpose of milk is to nourish the calf post-partum, and physiologically the body would see no reason to produce milk without a baby. So they make the cows hormonally always like they…

Most 'nutrition' bars are filled with sugars or other unecessary ingredients. You can get the same, or better more bioavailable nutrition from whole foods or raw veggies to snack on. If I had to chose one though, I like the KIND or KIND+ bars. They are gluten free and only have about 5-7 ingredients (fruits, nuts, honey,…

A serving of broccoli has more calcium in it than a serving of milk. As an exercise physiologist, and nutritional apprentice I don't think milk isn't good. We are the only species to drink milk after infancy. And it isn't even human milk, it's from a pregnant cow. Cow's milk is made for a baby cow to grow larger in a short…

This should be on the general discussion forum, but, cookies or macaroni and cheese.

Agreed. The government also tells us that milk is healthy because the milk industry is such a big part of our economy. We are the only species to drink milk after infancy. And it isn't even human milk, it's from a pregnant cow. Cow's milk is made for a baby cow to grow larger in a short amount of time. It has IGF-1…

Honestly, I'd just add food to this program and not add your exercise. It is very inaccurate. I am an exercise physiologist, and I had my mom start using this app, and she walked at the track for 45 minutes and it said she burned 400 calories. That is so off. Especially for a woman her age and size. That gave her the false…

Probably contains aspartame for an artificial sweetener. This converts in the body to formaldehyde, a major toxin, it is used to preserve dead bodies. You can still get an insulin response to sugar free things, and some research suggests sugar free things give you a craving for more sweets! Give yourself real sugar but…

That is low, and as an exercise physiologist we come across this dilemma a lot. You can increase your daily needs by working out more and increasing muscle mass. But then, 1,200 cals is low enough were it might lower your metabolism, but if small meals were spaced out correctly, it could be fine.
-
The accepted macronutrient intake is 55% carbs, 25% fat, and 15% protein from what you eat in a day. Having a little extra protein is alright, especially if you are being active and want to increase your muscle mass, which will subsequently increase your basal metabolic rate, which will in turn allow you to burn more…

Right, I recently got my mom to use it, and she never read labels, and didn't realize how many calories she was eating. Example; 800 calories of pasta for dinner when her basal metabolic rate for her age and size only accounts for 1,250 cals a day. That's over half her cals in one sitting.

Hi, I'm a 25 year old male, exercise physiologist, and this is my take on juicing. Getting quality juice out of veggies and fruits is a tough thing, and it requires a good machine. It is a good investment, it is something you don't want to buy cheaply. I recommend the Breville Juicer Pro, it was around $150 for me.…

Why eat anything? Leave the calories out and lose more weight...if you really want to have about 90, have a banana.
