Bullcrap. We need milk for the calcium benefits. I’m soooo sick of these ‘studies’.

Instead of fighting the Islamic menace, the Brits send money to fund stuff like this. Priorities, eh?

” We need milk for the calcium benefits. “

You need 3 glasses of milk for calcium?

They could turn it into kefir. Kefir grains convert lactose into lactic acid.

Milk is specifically designed for baby cows. It is not ideal for adult humans.

No! You don’t need milk (baby food) for the calcium benefits. You can take loads of calcium but unless you are taking in the nutrients with which it works in conjunction, ie magnesium, Vit D3, you will merely be damaging your bones.

Me too. It seems every few years we get “studies” that suggest something like “eggs are bad for you” then “eggs are good for you” - or “salt is bad” then “salt is good” - “red meat bad, then good”.

Frankly, a lot of research in academia is closely akin to intellectual whoring, and the very FIRST thing one should do is to follow the money - forget the title, follow the MONEY. Who did the study? Who paid for it? Is there an agenda or political affiliation for either? Another BIG factor - was this ‘research’ government funded?

The fact is that we have people dying from cancer who have spent their whole lives doing the “right” thing, and the other hand, we see examples of those who’ve pretty much done everything wrong -lived wrong, and don’t get it.

Frankly, I came to the conclusion that where something like cancer is concerned, genetic predisposition is more of a factor than some of this hoohah we see in “studies.”
