does milk really make ur body grow?

[AznAnarchy99]

hmmmmmm?

 

[dug777]

Would it kill you to type the extra two letters? Maybe hit Shift at least once & capitalise?


EDIT: or just go the whole damn hog, i hear 'rly' is pretty cool these days. You could probably ditch the 'w' as well, 'gro'...

EDITMk2: I proposed dropping all vowels a while back too, it remains readable, but it's a bitch to type until you get used to it...

 

[AznAnarchy99]

yes it would because i have fat stubby fingers

 

[EGGO]

Probably because you drink too much milk.

 

[Xyclone]

Calcium, Vitamin D, and protein.

Bottom line: yes.

 

[BoldAsLove]

i heard that the calcium in milk leeches your bones.

 

[Albatross]

I'm Whitey McCrackerson and I'm lactose intolerant. And 6'2"... And 250 lbs... (Not all fat, you bastards) And haven't had a glass of milk since I was 4.

Seriously, tho. I've heard that milk is NOT very good for you. Full of fat and impurities, and the only people telling you to drink milk is the American Dairy Counsel. If you want calcium, drink hard/mineral water. If you need protein, go with fish or chicken.

I'm white, 6'6", 200 lbs, and drank a sh!t-ton of milk as a kid, and still drink a fair amount today. I tell people it's why I'm tall.

Milk is an important source of calcium, which you need for growth. In this society though, few people are malnourished. Your growth is mainly a consequence of your genetics.

I'm 6'3" and have lactose intolerance so I think we can throw that myth out the window.

[maximus maximus]

Depends which part of the body you are talking about....

It certainly does not help you with the growth of your pp..

 

[Pacemaker]

Eating well will stop you from prematurely stopping your growth, but if you are genetically only going to be 5 foot 3 you are not going to hit 6 feet just by drinking milk.

Heh... Ask most diaticians or doctors, and they'll tell you that hard/mineral water is a better source of calcium. Milk has more, but the body can digest/absorb more from water... I was surprised.

And as for wanting to drink it, BLEH! I never liked white milk. I don't think I could choke down a full glass on Fear Factor...

Ech.. milk. Silk and Hill Country Fare (HEB house brand) soy milk taste much better.

I just did a quick glance at some studies on the issue.

Studies show milk has no impact on weight or relative weight. Milk also has no impact on height for younger children. For children 12-18 years old, milk consumption does appear to have a small but significant impact on height. I haven't yet seen any study into adulthood, that is, does this small height increase for those who drank milk remain?

On a related note, studies don't show that calcium itself has any impact on height. Instead, there must be hormones in milk that affect height.

 

[WraithETC]

I'd like to believe my Milk habits have enabled me to be taller than most of my Asian brothers.

Mmmmmm rBGH does a body good!

There are no good studies to suggest that milk is either good or bad. The two problems with milk, for those not lactose intolerant, is the fat content and the impurities. In children the concern over fat content is exagerated. A growing, physically active child need fat and fat-soluble vitamins. Comparing milk side by side with softdrinks, and sugar drinks such as coolaid, the utilization of the calories for growth and metabolism far favors milk. Sure children need to drink more water, but given that the longterm effects of artificial sweeteners on growing children has not been studied, diet drinks are not recommended for children.


Optimal development of children requires exercise, fats, protiens, and complex carbohydrates, as well as some exogenous cholesterol, fat-soluble and aquious vitamins.

Currently the American College of Pediatrics is trending away from milk, mostly due to the fact that many american children are getting more than the recommended daily allowance of fats and sugars in the form of snack-foods. In this physicians opinion this seems like a scape-goat maneuver, since attacking the junk-food and lack of exercise is much harder.
