How Bad Is Milk For You?

[CrazyRussian]

Come on, guys, it's milk...

It's like asking "uhhh, will cake make you fat?" and responding with "you are unable to digest the fats and carbohydrates, and there are not enough enzymes in the chocolate mousse, etc."

The answer is simpler: just look at the F'ing nutritional information . There are about 10-12 grams of sugar and 3-7 grams of fat in each cup of milk. If you chug 45 gallons a day of the stuff, you'll be consuming lots of sugar and fat. Of course you'll gain some weight, and it'll be bad for you. It's not because of the mucus, or blood, or this or that, etc.

Some people have sworn it causes acne, or bloating...whatever, it's genetics for some people. But with most people, a few glasses a day provides a good source of protein, calcium, and fats.

I use drop lactaid in my milk which will turn the supposedly low GI lactose in to 2 instant energy sources. They I use r+ala to shuttle the sugars to muscle.

Fat is totally irrelevant when talking about milk as you can buy fat free milk.

Yep...all milk.
I read up on the stuff and its not pretty. A lot of mucus and bad crap in milk. Most of it coming down from the stuff they give to cows to make them good milking machines.

Quote: "Almost 90 percent of African Americans and most Latinos, Asians, and Southern Europeans lack the genes necessary to digest lactose, the primary sugar in milk".
Drop it for a while and see what happens. You may be surprised!

lactose intolerance is not a food allergy , I'm note sure where that comes from. lactase enzyme will break lactose down, then anyone can drink it.

I will agree that animals fed with chemicals is an issue. The same hold true for beef sold in stores. Most of you prolly don't spend the extra 3-5 dollars a pound on natural grain fed beef either.

I do...totally Organic for me bro. Get informed on what you putting inside you and you will be astonished.
Better still, drop the milk and see what happens to your body composition.

HMM?

Am I the only milk lover here?

I love milk. I average a half a gallon a day without breaking a sweat. I have milk with every meal and with all my protein shakes. The only time I would cut milk out is if I was trying to get ripped or was concerned with my bodyfat%. Sure my bodyfat% is nothing to brag about, but then again I never have trouble getting stronger or bigger haha.

You can buy organic milk. Most of the vegetables and fruits in the stores have almost no nutritional value having been grown in nutrient depleted and abused soil and having been picked early generally and stored and shipped and sprayed with who knows what. But, the flip side is you can buy organic veggies and fruit.

Milk being bad for me is the least of my worries and I would be pissed if I didn't have milk every day. I would drink it raw from the cow if I had the opportunity becasue it's far more nutrient packed and good for you that way.

Some people do not digest milk very well, true, but some people digest it VERY well, like me. I've drank as much as 1.5 gallons a day for a good 6 months or longer with no trouble whatsoever. No farting, no diarrhea, no nothing and I've averaged a minimum of half a gallon a day since I was around 13, and at least a quart a day before then.

So stop bashing milk.

I've been drinking a gallon and a half of skim milk per week and have actually gotten leaner. Of course I have been working out like an animal. I have whole food post workout and in th epost workout meal I have a huge glass of milk among other things. As long as you aren't sipping milk watching tv while moss grows on your back I think it is perfectly alright to have

I think that lactose intolerance affects 70% of the worlds population. Dairy is used mostly in eurocentric cultures.
