Milk -- Which do you prefer?

I don't think I even drink milk as much as I drink soymilk. I probably drink that Rice Dream stuff more than I do both though. Delicious.

I drink over 0.4 gallons of 1% every day. For breakfast. I eat alot as well.

Just for your information, there are no sources there. Just references to other blog-articles from that guy.

Some other quotes I just noted while skimming through:

• organic dairy products

  - All food-products are organic, apart from maybe salt and other minerals.
  
• The guy misuses correlation. Correlation does not imply causation. Let me give you an example:
  

  From a recent study, students who drinks 2-3 cups of coffee daily get the highest grades out of all students.

  If correlation implied causation, then in order to get the highest grades out of everyone, you just have to drink 2-3 cups of coffee, and then on average you would have gotten the best grades. This is obviously not the case, because both come from another reason C: Students who work hard sacrifices sleep in order to get better grades. Those students usually drink coffee in order to keep themselves awake in the morning, thus the results of the study.
  

• Plus, dairy may contribute to even more health problems, like:[...]

  No backup, study or any argument to why this happens. Why would milk create a disorder on your immune system? If you then stop drinking milk, shouldn't this go away? And if not, why would cows and humans give milk to their babies when their kids develop their immune system?
  

Do I believe this? Duh, yes. But mostly for how it makes sense to me. My mother often explains how different my sister and I are, health-wise. Compared to my sister, I'm actually a healthy baby. Back around the time she was pregnant with me, she didn't consume milk, and stuck to chinese herbal remedies to maintain her health. I was often sick as a child, down with fever, cold/flu, but I never had any allergies till later on in my mid teenage years when milk was consumed daily. Now I have allergy caused migraines.

With my sister, she would boil milk and add eggs into the milk to drink as a beverage every morning. This, was supposedly healthy for her, the doc said so and her friends did. But when my sister turned 4, she started to have allergy symptoms all over the place. Blue and red food coloring, chicken, pineapple, dust mites, flower pollen, various nuts, bananas .. and so much more would make her face swollen up, eyes red, and itch all over the body. It was a nightmare dealing with her when she came home from school in that condition. So once again, I love milk, but not its possible long term health side-effects.

I don't believe that for the exact opposite reason: I drink roughly 0.4 gallons of milk every day and have no health issues at all.

My girlfriend have extreme allergic reactions from birch/grass pollen, smoke, dust. Yes, you guessed right: She hates milk and never drinks it - She'll rather drink apple/orange juice instead.

That being said, I'm not saying that milk shouldn't be questioned. I'm just saying that I could find more reasonable answers.

My theory is that some C cause both A and B.
An example would be the following: I would assume a "good" home is a clean home, with engineering parents. They know milk is good, and clean their house all the time. Less amount of dirt means less bacterias and the like, which would mean when come in contact with, the human body says "Ah! I've not seen this virus/bacteria/thing yet! We must use all our resources to kill this piece of pomegranate!" (Last line is what allergy actually is). Now, when a person hasn't been in enough contact with stuff before their immune system is fully developed, or at least considerably developed, the body does not have the equipment to kill off this kind of thing. The result is that your immune system uses all its resources to remove this thing, because you weren't in contact with it in the earlier stages. Poor homes that doesn't clean too often and possibly eat old food gives their children those bacterias, and they don't get allergies.

@Devil's Sunrise: While you're correct with the *technical* definition of organic, this thread and the article itself were referring to organic foods, which by definition are "different" from "organic":

Organic foods are made in a way that limits or excludes the use of synthetic materials during production.

The article is even referring specifically to organic milk, which has an even more specific definition that is, again, different from the one you're using:

Organic milk is defined by the USDA as milk from cows that have been exclusively fed organic feed, have not been treated with synthetic hormones, are not given certain medications to treat sickness, and are held in pens with adequate space.

Just wanted to point that out, because otherwise you're going to confuse the issues at hand. Otherwise, I completely agree with everything you said and am glad you outlined the poor logic employed by the article's author.

Everyone in this thread is doing it wrong.

Whole milk or bust. We don't rent pigs.

Strawberry milk.

Strawberry milk.

You just won the internet in my book.

Should have been multiple choice.

I drink Skim and 1% and 2%. I can taste the difference, but I use it mainly in cereal, so, it doesn't really matter.

I drink anywhere from 2% milk to Vitamin D milk to whole milk.

Chocolate...?

Strawberry milk.

I love both of these better than normal milk, but it brings up another question. Which milk tastes the best with these flavors?

I drink over 0.4 gallons of 1% every day. For breakfast. I eat alot as well.

I have a habit of linking back to places I found info on in case somebody feels like reading the rest of whatever I truncated. I wasn't particularly looking for any official website sort of deal, merely what is said about why taking milk may cause long term problems. I see and read things here and there due to certain people who are quite uptight about eating healthy in my family. They find something I'm interested in, I look into it. And here, I'm not a rocket scientist, so I gave what I found to be a rough summary of what's been discussed about milk. Not sure why someone's grilling my ass for that (in a speakeasy forum?).

Thread asked for opinion, I gave it. And gave my reason why. I'm not fond of debates, so this is where I'll let it end.

I don't really care what the experts say.. since I swear all I hear is 'it gives you cancer' or 'it's not healthy' I like my milk, I like soy milk, whole milk and what not they taste great to me and nothing hits the spot like a good glass :f6: I don't give a crap about the truth about it and whatnot seeing as they change there minds so frequently. If there gonna say milk is unhealthy, well I don't really get it considering we start off as babies drinking a form of milk. Sure it doesn't come from cows, but it is called breast milk

Vanilla coffee creamer + milk = good also. I like Strawberry more than chocolate, but i can drink normal milk all day every day.

Normal Milk in my Country = 3% Milk o.O

I was looking for the pastorized/sterelized milk option. It's a type of producing that can be done with any milk, really. I drink milk that's called 'half-full'here. so idk what to choose ;3

You're free to state your own opinion: That's exactly what I did in that post. Sorry if you felt grilled

I thought all milk were pasteurized and homogenized?

I don't know the things I drink. I only know definitely that I do not like raw milk. Mom used to buy it from a farm of sort, then she'd boil it and wait for it to cool down before forcing it down my throat. Disgustingly fat.

In my country we have 3% and 1% milk. The 1% tastes like milk flavored water gone sour, so I drink the 3%. It's wonderful. We also have chocolate milk, I like it a lot but I don't drink it often. And we have banana-flavored milk, would be great if it didn't have a chemical aftertaste.

When I'm in the USA I drink 2% with no problem.

I used to like Fat free Milk.

But I'm a bit sensitive to lactose, so now I have Soy Milk.

I like reg. milk.the only time I drink chocolate is at school there not to much chololate in it (I cant have much chocolate).
