milk is ****, you don't catch baby cows suckling on human mother's breasts.

(except in some very specific and graphic websites, not that I'd know about them of course..)

ps - the calcium issue however is a real one if on a high protein diet, all lifters should supplement it.

I agree about milk, but do you think the same for yogurt, Warboss? I like eating organic yogurt mixed with whey protein, fruit, and walnuts. I imagine the sugar in the yogurt would keep you from eating it?

if it is live culture yogurt then it's fine because the bacteria will help you digest it (ironic you need bacteria to digest lactose huh..) and provide lots of probiotic goodness. I have no issues with yogurt but stuff like milk/cottage cheese gives me terrible stomach trouble..

if you are talking yogurt with added sugar then no, I wouldn't touch it but natural, live culture yogurt is okay, in fact it's good for you. just that it doesn't have enough protein to be a viable source but the way you have it is just fine

weirdly enough, large amounts of yogurt USED to give me issues but milk didn't.. now it's the opposite (and has been for years).

Milk is NOT good for you

1. Milk is food for infant mammals. As adults we have no business drinking it.

2. Milk has been linked to cancer. http://vvv.com/healthnews/milk.html

3. If you must drink it, make sure that its organic and from hormone-free cows. Try to drink even this milk sparingly, remember its made for baby calves!

If you are looking for a decent milk alternative, try almond. Its great with cereal and i dont mind it in my coffee.

If you are worried about not getting enough calcium, eat lots of sesame seeds..pound for pound they contain 14 times more calcium than milk.

That's because a cow can't pin up another animal and proceed to bottle it's milk over a span of time. If it could, I bet it would.

I don't like milk, I'm just saying.

not good 4 you.........makes you hold water which is not good for cuts...

 

[i am me]

but how do u eat cereal without milk...

 

[panosha]

[Warboss Alex]

but how do u eat cereal without milk...

almond milk or rice milk

but why should you eat cereal?

 

[Just Another Guy....]

Eat the cereal dry in trail mixes, throwing some peanuts into Raisin Bran is an amazing source of fiber, and it's delicious!

Can u get hormone-free cow's milk? Do they sell it in supermarkets?

Ive had oats milk before and i loved it! I will try rice milk today.

Yes you can, but not in all supermarkets. Availability depends on where you live. You will probably find it at a health food store, like Whole Foods or something.

As for rice milk, I only use it to make horchata. Its refreshing with spicy foods, but a bit too watery for cereal or coffee. Almond milk has a but more body and a sweet kick to it.

Thats just brainwashing and advertisement.

In nature milk is only fed to infants. Their digestive systems cant handle solid food yet so milk is the ideal nutrition. You never see adult cows sucking each other off for a good reason!

Aside from the fact that we are not built to drink milk in adulthood (lacking the necessary enzymes to digest properly) Most commercially produced milk is filled with horrible industrial backwash. The cows are hocked up on growth hormones and god knows what else and that sh!t ends up in your milk. Its really bad stuff and has been linked to several serious illnesses including cancer.

Top top it off, milk consumption radically increases your production of mucus, so if you have allergies or a cold, milk is your worst enemy.

I only drink it as a rare treat. Sometimes there is no substitute for fresh baked chocolate chip cookies and a tall glass of (hormone-free) milk.

You are probably too young to notice any adverse effects.

My aunt drank anywhere from that much a day and got breast cancer shortly after turning 40. She died 3 years afterwards. She didnt smoke or drink. But I'm sure her addiction to junk food didn't help, either

Anyways, if you do drink it, at least make sure its free of all that toxic crap!

Calcium is good for us. Unfortunately, the calsium in milk is the "wrong kind". It weakens bones and teeth instead of strenghtening them. Personally -- my acne cleared up when I stopped drinking milk. Many people don't digest it well either. I don't beleve one bit that whey protein and casein protein is as godly as it's reputation makes it out to be. I think its clever marketing and big buissness. But hey - it's a cheap protein source right.

What is almond milk?
