Don't drink milk (Not lactose intolerant). It's not good for adults.
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.
