Isn’t Mother Jones a far left wing publication?

I have a friend that went to Saudi Arabia. He said he drank some camel's milk and was sick for days. I believe a lot of it has to do with us not being used to the bacteria in their milk. I guess the same applies when someone travels over here.

I’m telling mom.

[andyk]

Me too. I’m down with the coconut milk.

When the nomadic Aryans invaded India 4000 or so years ago, there was considerable conflict between them and the indigenous people in India. The fair skinned Aryans invented the caste system to avoid mixing with the darker people. Point is, not all Indians are derived from Caucasian extraction. That is why Indians come in all shades of skin color and facial characteristics. Of course after living in a landmass with hot sunny climate for thousands of years, very few Indians retain the skin color of the original Aryans. This actress retains lot of the Aryan features and skin color:

There is no milk like Guernsey milk. Like white latex paint, 50% fat. Grew up on our own Guernsey cow milk. Shake up the cream for fresh butter on hot pancakes. Oy.

Sonoma County’s Saint Benoit Creamery

I can buy their milk in no less than three very nearby stores

Thank you,

My little one was allergic to all milk and formula—I had goat milk brought in from the country after my dad said that was what his mother did for him. Worked fine.

Been drinking Silk coconut milk.

i like almond milk... plain... i used to drink Lactaid and soy milk, plain... but i like almond best... i also eat plain Greek yogurt 5-6 days a week mid morning... and i drink one glass of coconut each day... :)

Our neighbor used to milk Jerseys.

That stuff was about 70-30 until you skimmed the cream off.

I’m glad to hear that because I drink a lot of milk.

And just think of all the global warming caused by cow farts.

Have you tried going 100% gluten free? [I see in Whole Foods they have lots of different displays of different things saying gluten free.] I think some problems take a little time to work themselves out.

Have you tried going GMO free? I read that many are helped with that - doctors regularly advise pts to do that.

How about aspertame, and all its other names - and places it comes in - pop drinks, et al. Known to be bad bad.

I drink buttermilk, if I drink any milk at all.

Does that make a difference ?

[machogirl]

thank you!

Dunno. Simply churning out the butterfat shouldn't alter the proteins, but perhaps whatever culture they may add would?

Even so, if you are tolerating it I wouldn't worry.

I only posted this thread for the benefit of those who might have an individual intolerance to the A1 protein, and could benefit from a switch to an A2 milk.

Like healthcare schemes, one size does not fit all...

Thank you.....but...the REAL point of my post was:

There was a certain “type” of picture I was hoping to find here.....

As noted in a 1958 Alaskan menu:

Milk - Cold - 10 cents
Milk - Served at body temperature, in the cutest little containers - $2.50

What a stupid article. It’s not “A1” or “A2” you need to worry about, it’s pasteurization that is the problem. Drink raw milk and you’ll never have digestive problems or lactose intolerance again.

[DManA]

Not all of them.
