Milk has quite a bit of sugar in it.
IMO, there is ample evidence linking sugar and obeseity.

This guy doesn't look obese.

Or, God forbid, in the empty lot on the next block. Those were much better times.

If you are allergic to milk then you should not drink it, but to believe this rubbish that milk is bad for everyone is wrong. I am allergic to corn should I advise everyone to stop eating corn? I don't think so.

Until I was about 10 we had a milk cow. We drank milk instead of water because we had so much milk mother had to throw it out. Then she started making butter & cottage cheese. I don't remember her ever making yogurt.
I am a huge yogurt fan now, plain low fat. I eat it almost every morning. I get a bone scan every 2 years & the doctor always writes "WOW!" on the report he sends. I think at some point he will quit ordering that test for me.

My Grandfather has used this point on me for years.

Of course, he's in poor health now with diabetes, failing kindneys, and suffering from Alzheimers-- not that I'm saying it's related, but...

Soda's are very acidic, whould you drink battery acid.

I'll put vinegar on my greens, drink apple juice and eat oranges -- but I've got enough sense not to drink battery acid.

Guess you didn't, huh?

The problem is kids and some adults are drinking 8-10 sodas a day.

Neither of my boys drink milk. They don't like it.

So what? They're not making you do it, too. Indeed, you don't have to, if you don't want to.

I think living to be 140 would be too long but 116, like my great aunt might be OK. ;9)

Quite a bit

And how much sugar is in that milk?

Not sure. But it's high fat milk, and honey is also eaten

And how ACTIVE is he? Well that's different to saying "milk, fat, sugar bad for you!"

The Center for Science in the Public Interest is a PETA front group. They have an animal rights agenda. They are not objective. The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine is also a PETA front group. Anything you hear from these groups is slanted. It's junk science.

As life-long nonmilk drinker, you can survive without dairy products.

Yes, you can survive without dairy products, but that is a personal choice. These food nannies want to force their lifestyle on everyone else because of their radical animal "rights" agenda (not referring to you personally).

I never claimed that. I said sugar was linked to obesity. Obviously if you are active, it isn't a problem. This guy is probably on his feet all day walking around, versus some chunky kid sitting at a desk in school doing nothing to burn off the ingested calories.

Obviously, we aren't gonna make our kids exercise all day in school, so the most obvious thing is to eliminate/reduce sugar.

BTW, "low carb friendly" milk has way less sugar than typical milk. This might be a good replacement.

It's still a free country.

That's the point. It is a free country. Of course if you drink soda excessively, or milk excessively (or anything excessively) then it will be bad for you. The point is that these animal rights groups want to infringe on the rights of individuals to choose for themselves.They wish to force everyone to adhere to their diet choices under the ridiculous premise that animals somehow have "rights." When they show me an animal that can invent the computer, fly a spacecraft, cure cancer, write great works of literature, particpate in economic commerce, make laws, hold a job, etc, then maybe we can talk about rights. Animals do not have rights. We are the dominate species on the planet. We make the rules. If animals have rights, then they must also be responsible for their behavior. Under that scenario, we can jail the lion for killing its prey.
