Reliable source?

Milk is high in saturated fats and lactose acid (the same chemical your muscles produce after overexertion that causes them to burn), and will raise your cholesterol. Because it is so acidic, milk is a poor source of calcium because your body will use calcium (which is alkaline) it already has in order to neutralize the acidity.

Here's a decent link:

I suggest a Google search. Good "reliable" information is difficult to find due to the Dairy Industry mass propaganda, but the fact is that cow's milk is for calves, and not for humans.
I quit drink milk about 2 years ago, and it was the best thing I ever did for myself. I lost 10 lbs almost right away (despite no other changes to my diet or exercise routine at that time), am sick less often, my allergies (which were nearly chronic before) bother me much less, and overall I have never felt better.
I welcome anyone else here who is a relatively heavy milk drinker (as I was) to try it. Stop drinking milk and tell me how you feel in 6 weeks.


I stopped drinking milk about 3 years ago after drinking it heavily all my life... just couldn't stand how it made me feel.. bloated, gassy... leaves a bad taste in your mouth, etc.. I think I have gotten sick twice in the last 3 years.. both times just minor colds.. lost weight, feel great.. soy milk (chocolate) tastes so much better too.
 
Before: Whole (3.25%)
After: its in the toilet ;p
Lactose

Whole milk is way better than the rest. Whole owns ;p
 
I don't drink to much milk, but we only buy skim. I put some on my cereal in the morning, and some is used for cooking I suppose...but thats the girls department so I wouldn't know.

Organic Milk. Once you try it you will never go back.

As opposed to Inorganic Milk, made from silcates, calcium, and aluminum oxide?

I'll drink 0%, and I can barely tolerate 1%. Of course, I much prefer chocolate milk (made with 0%)..

No, USDA organic certified milk. Brands such as Horizon.
 
2% or 1% for me.

There's a local dairy here that uses opaque yellow containers. For a long time I wouldn't buy them becuase they looked "gross". But recently I started trying them and they reallly work. The milk doesn't get that "funny" taste as it gets older.
 
Ooooh, I voted don't drink milk, then I noticed you had soy milk down. I drink soy milk sometimes, whenever I eat cereal.
