I’m with her on the raw milk, though. There is an enzyme in milk that assists with the absorption of calcium, pasteurization kills it.

Sorry, but while I do understand that cows milk is not the absolute ideal drink (for some people it's indigestible and most of the calcium it contains actually passes through and isn't used) I am hesitant to take nutritional advice from someone who looks like they've just been released from a North Korean work camp and includes something about bovine methane and CO2 emissions in their argument against it.

Another installment of "don't it's bad for the environment and bad for you" nonesense.

No thanks.

Interesting article....

I has no idea people drank so much milk....and basically it’s just like all the other highly processed foods we have on our grocery shelves...

I don’t think I had a glass in over 10 years since I stopped eating that processed crap they call cereal...

I read and looked for the true problem with milk. Read nothing but it did have a veiled bias: the vegan, anti-cow crowd. Then, I read, “milk is processed, homogenized, pasteurized and fortified, and comes from dairy cows fed antibiotics and, in the U.S., growth hormones I am not going to eat.” There is nothing to justify why homogenization or pasteurization is bad. There is nothing to say why antibiotics in a cow get infused in the milk. These are all buzz words for the non-scientific reader who operates on emotions. I want the facts, mam, and not a worthless, long article.

Michael Bay directed the Aaron Burr Got Milk commercial?
No explosions?
No T&A?

Funny thing is...

Youth Hockey and one healthy Cross Country Coach I know give their kids Ice Cold Chocolate Milk as their choice fuel to recharge their young athletes, instead of Gator-something-or-other. The CC coach is a volunteer 26k runner and even more distance. I trust their judgement....

Hamilton offers a recollection of sitting at a family dinner, listening to her cousin gushing over Leonardo DiCaprio, then starring in the film Titanic: “On our way home, puzzled, I said to my sister Kara: ‘He looks like he drinks too much milk.’ ” For the Hamiltons, this has always meant ashen skin, sunken cheeks and frailty — “In our house,” she writes, “the milk complexion meant something different than that of a robust, rosy-cheeked farm girl or star athlete than the California Milk Processor Board represents in its Got Milk? ad campaigns.”

Um, Leonardo DiCaprio is a militant vegetarian, so... In OUR house, ashen skin, sunken cheeks and frailty were the hallmarks of a vegetarian. Did she ever even ask DiCaprio if he was a milk drinker?

I drink raw whole milk from an neighboring farm’s Jersey herd. I feel sorry for everyone that doesn’t.

milk is a nutritious drink. it’s a good source of useful nutrients, healthy fats (needed by the body!), and even protein.

i drink a cup of whole milk with 2 scoops of whey protein powder each morning. that’s about 400 calories, 8g of fat, and 56g protein (of which the cup of milk kicks in 8g).

everyone knows that protein is necessary for building muscle mass, but it’s also useful for retaining lean muscle mass while eating at a calorie deficit (during weight loss).

anyone who rants against milk or claims it to be unhealthy... is ignorant about basic nutrition and everything else they say about anything else is therefore suspect.

the only problem that milk poses to many adults are lactose intolerance or dairy allergies. fortunately, lactose-free milk is easily available in the supermarket.
