is 2L of milk per day is too much?

Soy and Vegan Institute I suspect funds a lot of the "anti-milk" studies.

Who is funding all this research on milk? The Citrus Growers of America...... I personally drink 1 pint to 1 quart a day. Usually at breakfast time.

I drink a few glasses to a quart of organic milk every day, usually whole milk, and it seems to agree with me just fine. the organic milk has a better flavor i find, and there's no concern over antibiotics or hormone usage if the brand is reputable (i stick with organic valley)

No study has indicated that consumption of rBST-produced milk increases IGF1 levels, nor has any study demonstrated an increased risk of any disease between those consuming rBST and non-rBST produced milk. In 1994, the FDA has concluded that no significant difference has been shown between milk derived from rBST-treated and non-rBST-treated cows, nor does any test exist which can differentiate between milk from rBST-treated and non-rBST treated cows.

From wikipedia. Went searching and found nothing that supports the original article saying that Milk is dangerous. The infections etc are possible but extremely rare. On top of that, most countries have the injections outlawed and the US doesn't use it.

i drink half a gallon of whole milk everyday, not stopping anytime soon.

My conclusion about milk;

There is a reason that mammals drink excessive amounts of milk during the time of life where you grow the most. Milk is one of nature's best tool for growth.

And it tastes good. Gimme more milk please =P

Agreed.

It shits me when you get a teenager on the site, and the anti-milk crowd tells them to avoid milk.

This annoys me because realistically the teenager is consuming coke etc and milk is infinitely better.

Sad but true - but the anti-groups are gonna be there for everything.

How to increase IGF-1 levels naturally

Here are the key points

- IGF-1 is a powerful anabolic anti-catabolic hormone

- Milk has a low glycaemic index but a high insulinaemic index

- Large scale studies have show that higher milk consumption is associated with higher IGF-1 levels

- Milk consumption increases IGF-1 levels through many possible pathways (amino acids, minerals, IGF-1 in milk, insulin)

- Caffeine may increase IGF-1 levels

- Large amounts of lycopene consumption or lycopene extract can decrease IGF-1

During cutting then, is milk particularly useful PWO because its insulin content is disproportionate to its carb and GI content, i.e., your getting a lot of insulin per carb. Does cottage cheese have a similar insulin effect?

You would get a lot of insulin release per carb content.

I will look over the article again, but it did say that the more processed the milk (i.e when made into yogurt) does not have the same propensity for IGF-1.

As cottage cheese still has the same carbs in it, it would make sense it would elicit the same insulin response.
