No milk for me. Coffee black, and I don't eat cereal. Cheese is good though. |
|
I like that Milk its good stuff.
I drink at LEAST one glass a day, if not 4 or 5 |
|
If milk were so harmful according to that wiki article, just about the entire baby boomer generation should be deader than door nails right now. As I see it, the opposite is happening and I'll have to fork over a bigger slice of my income to support the broken social security system that will pay benefits to them. I would agree that the criticisms sound like whining from PETA and ALF.

Drinking some right now out of my HK coffee mug.
I hate coffee |
|
Milk is great. I won't stop drinking it, and neither will my kids.

3 pages on tit juice. This only makes me want to go play with my g/f's boob.

You are using Wikipedia as a reference for a debate? Why not use the Enquirer too while your at it!
I'll drink what I want, Skippy. You don't like it, tough shit. |

I work for a mechanical contractor & one of our biggest clients is a Xxxxxxold plant, between the smell (stench) & the processes, spending a day w/ me might perhaps have some of you thinking differently. No milk for me thanks

Milk is nasty.
I don't do Soy either. Rice milk is acceptable, and I put it on my granola in the morning. |
|
Visit a dairy farm Than tell me how much you like your milk Been to a slaughter house and have to say kind of stinks but far cleaner than any dairy farm I have been to. |
|
|
I've worked at two dairy farms. What's your point? From the time that the milk leaves the teat it is treated like medical grade components. The testing done at the tank is the make or break for the dairy farmer. He aint going to lose a batch over bacteria count. There is no profit in that. |

|
Same can be said about going the kitchen of a restraunt, there are very clean farms and then there are dirty farms. I have no problem drinking milk from our farm. |
||
|
For your information I grew up on a dairy farm and I still drink lots of milk. I just wish I could get some real milk instead of the reduced stuff they sell as "whole milk" in the store. |

|
Someone that doesn't like a good wholsome glass of cold milk, is just not American! I suppose you want to ban apple pie too! |
|
|
+1. This definately sounds like PETA propaganda. Sorry if you're so over sensitized to foods that you can't eat a slice of pizza without 'feeling bad", perhaps that's a sign that we shouldn't take dietary advice from you. I drink a tall cold glass of "2%" milk every day with my lunch sammich and I will continue to do so. Besides, my old friend Cal Ripken endorses it - it can't be all that bad. |
|
|
And wtf is with every one brining up the peta shit? Go read the wikipedia I linked to it has pros as well. I just don't like milk. Jeeze some of you are sensitive people. I honestly could care less what people drink. I also cant stand beer. |
|||
|
OK. At least your not flip flopping. |
||
|
Maybe I'm doing this dairy farming thing wrong but there usually isn't in blood. |
||||
|
Why would anyone depend on Wikipedia? And it sounds a lot like you are the one who is overly sensitive. So because you don't like milk (a valid arguement for you not to drink it) you post all this crap about how bad it is for the rest of us? Reap what you sow and all that..... |
|
|
Good source of calcium. So's Yogurt and Ice Cream.
Stop reading "diet for a new planet." |
|
Im just screwing around with my post. It was a joke. I rarely post anything of a serious nature. |
||
|
So you don't get any blood in your milk? |
|||||
|
Lighten up, like posted before It's a light thread. Not really intended to be serious. I just don't like milk. Now of course little girls drink a lot of milk. Real men don't but hey |
|||
|
You really need to back off the oprah dude. Your testicals are working their way back inside and I'm not talking about from the cold.
|
|
By the way I love my Broccoli and it has a pretty high calcium content so take that you milkies
|
|
thou shall be smitten with thou wit. |
|
|
PEOPLE DON"T EAT BROCCOLI!! without a cool glass of milk |

Quoted:
Only pussies eat corn flakes, Men eat steak in eggs. You eat cookies, jeeze what are you 3 ETA: Use coffee [/quote] OK, you can bash milk, I don't care, I don't like it either. But I won't stand by and let you bash Corn Flakes and cookies goddammit. That's un-American. What are you some kind of commie? Let me hear you say "Moose and Squirrel" (35 year old cartoon reference for you younguns) Sheesh. FB |

Milk Myths
Submitted by: Adrienne Allin, Dietetic Intern Dianne Oickle, MSc, RD Registered Dietitian/Public Health Nutritionist Leeds, Grenville & Lanark District Health Unit Recently in the media, many anti-milk campaigns have surfaced. You may be questioning the safety of drinking cow’s milk. What are some of these recent claims against milk and what are the facts? Myth – Milk causes acne Fact – The idea that foods cause acne is false. Certain foods such as milk, chocolate, french fries, cola, peanuts and iodine-containing foods such as shellfish, have all been accused of causing acne. Scientific research has not found a link between diet and acne. A number of factors working together, such as genetics, skin type, hormones and pollution are believed to be the cause. Myth – Milk causes obesity Fact – Drinking milk does not lead to obesity. No single food causes weight gain. Food can lead to weight gain when eaten in excess of your energy needs. If you consume more energy (calories) than you burn, weight gain will result. Milk products come in a range of fat contents (% MF) to suit any lifestyle. All milk has the same amount of calcium regardless of its fat content. Myth – Milk contains hormones that are harmful to humans Fact – Canada does not allow the use of growth hormones to increase milk production in cows. Therefore, no added growth hormones are found in any Canadian milk or milk products. There are also no antibiotic residues in any Canadian milk or milk products. Natural hormones from the cow do pass into the milk - however they have no effect on humans when consumed and are digested like any other protein. Bovine Growth Hormone (BGH), also known as recombinant Bovine Somatotropin (rBST), is currently used in the United States to increase milk production in cows. rBST is not present in milk that is produced in Canada. Myth – Milk causes heart disease Fact – No one food causes heart disease. Eating any foods that are rich in saturated fat can increase risk of heart disease. Foods high in saturated fat include meats, baked products, butter, lard, coconut, palm oils, and high fat dairy products. The best way to reduce your risk of heart disease is to eat a balanced diet that is low in fat, include regular physical activity, and reduce the stress in your life. Myth – Milk causes allergies Fact – No one food causes an allergy. Milk allergy is a reaction of the immune system to the protein in milk. True milk allergies are not very common - only about 1% to 3% of children have a cow’s milk allergy and they usually outgrow this by age three. In adults the rate is even lower. The major factor that triggers a food allergy is family history of food allergies. Drinking milk will not cause a milk allergy or allergies of any other kind. Myth – Milk robs the body of calcium Fact – A common myth is that high protein foods cause the body to lose calcium. In fact, most food sources of protein such as milk and milk products, meat, fish and beans contain phosphorus, which helps prevent the loss of calcium in urine. Because of the phosphorus and other compounds in milk and milk products, calcium is highly absorbed, with very little negative influence from protein. The overall result is that the body retains more calcium from milk and milk products with minimal calcium loss in the urine. Myth - Dietitians promote milk because they are all paid by the dairy industry. Fact - This is simply not true. Registered Dietitians do not receive kickbacks or bonus money from dairy farmers of the dairy industry to promote milk. Registered Dietitians make recommendations based on sound scientific evidence rather than relying on opinions or a "good guess". The science clearly shows that milk products supply many valuable nutrients and can be part of a healthy way of eating. Myth – Milk is important for kids, but adults do not need to drink it. Fact – Milk and milk products are important at all ages in order to get the calcium we need. Different amounts are required at different ages. One cup of 1% milk contains 317 mg calcium. Children need to drink about 3 cups of milk per day, and teenagers and adults need to drink 4 cups of milk per day to get enough calcium. That means that for a family of four (2 adults, 2 children), one 4 litre bag of milk will last about one and a half days. If you choose not to drink milk, you still need to consume the same amount of calcium. There are other foods and beverages you can drink to get the calcium you need. Contact a Registered Dietitian to help you choose the healthiest foods to supply calcium. more http://www.dairycouncilofca.org/dairy/dair_milk_main.htm |

Broccoli is what food eats to make milk. |

It's the oddest thing. If I just drink milk, I get a terrible stomach pain, but ice cream, whipped cream, butter, etc. doesn't give me that. Neither do cheese and yogurt, but that's understandable because the lactose is processed by the bacteria.
Lactaid and soymilk FTW. |

Wow. I'm impressed. You got the reference and had a Boris & Natasha graphic online in less than 10 minutes. |

People have been drinking cows milk for ages. Now there's people saying "Don't drink milk!" and ignoring the fact that people for millenia have been drinking cow's milk and they didn't have many of the problems pointed out in that list of milk criticisms.
Get both. |

Bullwinkle isnt that old of a cartoon |

Hey, I bought some half-gallon jugs of water in extra-sturdy bottles (not sure of what plastic), they smelled and tasted so strongly of chemicals that I returned them all. |

|
1% and 2% is good. I don't like the taste of whole milk any more. Milk shakes create lots of nose mucus in me for some damn reason, but I like them.
Son, I'm sorry we fed you Nutrisoy. Blecch!! Horchata. Good. Wikipedia is the bastion of the PETA-libtard minions trying to redefine our culture. |

Even in the 60's, the milk went into sterilized stainless steel containers, and then into a big tank, also stainless steel, on the farm. The teats and udder were cleaned before attaching them to the milker. So what's so gross? You don't eat off the floor, do you?

Than get bottled water in the glass bottles. |
