Yes. Milk it is that I like.

But lactose free milk it is that I must drink.

It just makes no sense.

Since when do you have to slaughter cows to get milk? Piss and Feces? I'm not sure if you noticed, but the milk doesn't come out of the same orifice as those excretins.

Do you think brand new babies would be nursing if it did?

I have not found it so. Just picking from the first half of the webpage:

Quote:

...The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) insists that IGF-1 is destroyed in the stomach. If that were true, the FDA has proven that breast feeding cannot work...

The author, Dave Rietz, apparently thinks breast milk is nothing but IGF-1.

More on the subject of IGF-1, about a flawed experiment he quoted as evidence against milk:

Quote:

Visit the Dairy Education Board at http://www.notmilk.com/deb/100399.html to review a DAIRY study that confirms what the FDA has lied about this for years. IGF-1 INCREASES This study involved two groups. One group consuming 12 ounces of milk a day and the other consuming the USDA recommended allowance of 24 ounces (three cups). This report notes that the participants consuming 12 ounces more milk per day... HAD A 10% RISE IN IGF-1 IN THEIR BLOOD SERUM! Now, consider that PER DAY, from ALL sources, the typical milk/dairy consumer ingests approximately 39% of daily diet from dairy... and that 10% increase becomes the "tip of the iceberg". We have NO idea of the non-dairy versus full-dairy difference but considering cancer rates... it has to be significant.

What Rietz has hidden from our view was that the experiment was not designed to investigate the effect of milk on serum IGF-1; this was a coincidental finding in an osteoporosis-prevention study. If the experiment was not designed for this purpose, then we cannot expect the researchers to take care of possible confounders. IGF-1 is produced in the normal adult human body (as Mother Nature intended. I hope Rietz will agree); its production linked to energy metabolism in complex ways. Simply put: the more calorie and the more proteins you take, more free IGF-1 is found in your blood (interested readers can take a look at this review). It is therefore expected that people who consume more protein, milk-derived or not, will have more IGF-1 in their serum.

What's not to like? (2%)

(I drink Soy milk as well).

I go for months without having a glass of milk, but when I get a craving for it, nothing else will do. Must be ice cold, and should be used to wash down a peanut butter sandwich.

since i am a vegetarian, i get a good deal of my protien from milk w/ a scoop of whey in it.

my dad does not like milk, but he's one of the only people i've met who doesn't drink it

 

[buddhashenglong]

I can't even read this thread it's so disgusting, 'nuff said.

I like milk, don't drink too often any more though. Back in junior high I had half a litre of milk, every morning, for pretty much 3 years. I went from 5'8 to 6'2 in that time

Don't really like milk, not for the taste, it tastes just fine, but for the simple fact that I don't believe humans should be drinking the milk of another animal, in this case the cow. Aside from the fact that I get my calcium from other products, I don't think it offers my body any really good things, so I just don't need it and don't intake anything I don't need (except for the occasional alcoholic drink for pleasure).

Also, I haven't read the latest, but doesn't the human body have trouble digesting cow milk and waste more energy on digestion than it receives back? That was the last study I read on it, guess it's time to look it up again.

Hmm...for all of the milk haters out there, it seems a 20 year study recently indicated that drinking a pint of milk a day can keep diabetes and heart disease away...http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/6898103.stm

I like milk, but I like it to have some fat content. On my own, I usually purchase whole milk or 2%. When I lived with my parents, they used to buy only fat free milk and made my sister and me drink it. Stuff tasted nasty as hell, like water with essence of milk. To this day, I still can't handle fat free milk.

 

[YouSpentHowMuch?]

I dig the dairy.
I have a glass every morning with breakfast.
I like soy milk too but only vanilla flavored.
