Wow. I'm going to have to tell my adult cats to quit trying to get into our milk cartons to drink the milk in there.

Hmm. I'll have to tell the dogs, too.

Sheesh. The only reason other animals don't drink cows milk as adults is because they don't have the hands/brains to know how to milk a cow.

Where do people come up with this nonsense?

Of course you don't give cows milk to infants. Their digestive systems are not fully developed.

But to say that something an immature infant's digestion can't handle is equally unhealthy for a 10-year old is just bad science.

And you're eating rat droppings and insect parts when you eat a bowl of cereal. And you're eating fly droppings when you eat a hamburger outdoors.

First, the world is not an antiseptic place. Secondly, your body knows this and can handle it as long as, thirdly, the dosages are reasonable. In other words, a drop of pus in a gallon of milk isn't going to do anything to you. A drop of milk in a gallon of pus is another story.

Ditto the asinine growth hormone argument.

The fact that science education is absolutely pathetic in this country is the reason this kind of propaganda gets any traction at all.

Read www.notmilk.com; If Florence Joiner the black track champion had she might still be alive. Her autopsy report will confirm cows milk is for calves and breast milk is for babies! A good balanced diet will supply all the calcium & potassium necessary; green leafy vegetables & nuts. You are what you eat!

OK..we agree on milk with nutter butters. Tomato with tabasco at other times. Whew...you had me worried there. :)
