Milk is bad for you!

Thousands of years of milk drinkers can't be wrong.

Milk doesn't kill people, people kill people.

I think this is just udder nonsense.

Got milk?

Lewis Black knows about it

The only problem with US milk, is that the cows they get it from, is administered bovine growth hormone, rBST. Which is really a protein, that sometimes is not fully digestable, and can be absorved into the blood stream, affecting the human body.

It would cause breast cancer and other forms of melanomas. Because this hormone stimulates cellular growth, in a rapid way, that would result in cancer.

Its always good to boil the milk. Pasteurization, only kills 60% or so of salmonella bacteria. Boiling the milk would denature alot of the proteins, rendering them ineffective as catalysts, and helping with breaking them down to amino acids.

There are big drug companies that spend billions of dollars to produce hormones that work in increasing milk production, but would have adverse effects on the human body. They pay millions to make it seem their products are safe. This should not be the case really, but it is.

I drink about 2-3 gallons of milk per year.

Might explain some of my psychosis...

2% Horizon organic milk ftw

Yes. Milk isn't quite good for adults. A lot of adult people have some kind of allergy to fresh milk. Me for instance. I can't drink fresh milk. It causes some problems in stomach. Milk contains too much calcium and causes bones weakness(!) for adults. But milk is good for children and aged people (if they can drink it).

Also... We are not drinking real whole milk for very long time already... Different "Not too much fat", "Low fat", "Very low fat", "No fat at all", "Not quite milk" kinds of milk are just a GMed "white water" with some strange ingredients. Milk made from dried milk... Better to drink water.

I like milk and I am sure that the one I drink is good (the "advantage" of living in a poor country is that almost all the food is real )

For hundreds of millions of years animals have drunk milk.  I'm sure the benefits outway any side effects.

And each and every one of those animals stop drinking milk at a certain age.

And no mother animals were made to produce milk 365 days a year even though they didn't have babies.

It's all just a very weird cycle.

....and shouldn't humans be drinking human milk?
Try bottling and selling that to the general public.  It'll go over like a fart in church.

Cow milk is for baby cows.

But how I love ice cream.....

I understand where they're coming from from a biological perspective. I once heard it explained as 'humans are the only animals who drink the genetic material of other animals'. I'm not sure about that, because I figure eating another animal's meat or raw eggs also qualifies as eating genetic material, but yeah, humans are the only animals that still drink mother's milk as adults, and drink it from other animals, to boot.

Then again, as I stated earlier, humans have been doing this for thousands of years. I'm pretty sure that, if there are any ill effects, they're negligible.

Also, I just love milk too much to give it up for a 'possible decreased health risk'.

There's definitely a genetic thing to it. Most Asians are lactose intolerant and have difficulty digesting milk. We'd lose the ability to process lactose after a certain age.

I remember when I first attended American school. I didn't know why people actually like eating grilled cheese sandwiches.

If you mean the "featured C9 Guy on a tree" yes.. weird.
