And inflammation is what is the key. I wonder if they used raw or pasteurized milk in the study as there are enzymes in raw milk that help our bodies to digest it. We used to drink raw milk but, sadly, it got too expensive for us. I stopped drinking milk (whole milk) about 2 months ago and have since steadily gained weight since. Not sure if there is a connection as other things have been going on in my life, but the rest of my diet has stayed the same.

I keep in mind that God told the Israelites that the promised land was flowing with milk and honey, so they must be good things for us.

During my twenties, I allowed myself to get too thin. That lasted for a few years, until a doctor told me I really needed to put on a little weight, so I did it. While I was gaining, I constantly craved whole milk...couldn’t get enough of the stuff. I had never been a milk drinker, and haven’t been one since then.

If I don't have a glass of whole milk in the morning, I spend the whole rest of the day feeling like I haven't eaten, no matter what else I eat. If I go 2 or 3 days without milk, I feel like I've been run over by a truck.

Everybody's different, but some of us need the milk and some don't. Maybe not drinking milk is making you feel hungrier than usual, and you're eating more than you realize to try and fill the hunger?
