Milk BAD?!

[Magda]

have you heard this?

I have been trying to drink low fat or skim milk rather than whole milk trying to do good but I just read somewhere that whole milk has fewer carbohydrates! I am okay with the extra fat as long as I trim down the carbos. Has anyone else heard this?

I love milk and there is a lot of thoughts out there that we just HAVE to have it but in actuality, we are the only mammalian species on this planet that consume milk on a regular basis past being weaned.

I am still going to drink it though.

Just in case...Lactose intolerance is a genetic trait, which as stated above is most prevalent in non caucasians (blacks, orientals), and in some caucasian adults.

I think milk is great for you during the offseason, however, other sources such as whey have higher biological values. I think it is a no-no competition diets because the milk sugar (lactose) makes you smoother and retain more fat. Cut it out 6 wks. out along with fruits

Magda--Heavy cream has even fewer carbs. But, unless you're on a really strict CKD or TKC, the added fat doesn't make it worthwhile. Plus it's saturated fat, which is not the wisest fat choice. I know all the Atkins devotees chug down cream by the bottle, but personally I think it's a bad habit to get into.

We're the only mammalian species that play electric guitars, too. Could there be a correlation?

Okay, I am not going to worry about it any more then. I was just wondering because when the US went on this Low Fat craze everything was loaded up with carbs.

keiko, I have seen a duck that played a small guitar (unplugged). He was accompanied by a rabbit that played a small piano and a chicken that danced on this little shiny board (no kidding) I saw this in the foot hills in Arkansas. Even though I was born and bred redneck, the strange animal powers of hillbillies still scare me.

I hired a bodybuilding nutritionist to help me prepare for my first contest, $200 unlimited help. bodyfat checks, diet planning, last minute details etc. he will help me as long as I am in state. anyway...

He said the body can only use 7% or so of the protein in milk because it is pasturized and de-natured. now I know that milk should be elimated from a contest diet but I thought milk was a great source of protein?

What's up?

Yes, actually milk is bad for you. There are lots of misconceptions about milk, and because of my brother who is a health freak and kept nagging me about drinking milk i read a lot... If milk wasnt pasturized it would actually be tons better for you. durring the pasturization process it is heated to very high temperatured and then cooled off. This kills all the bad germs, however; it also kills the good germs and gets rid of things that your body needs. after this is over with it keeps the milk from souring.... but that attracts germs and lots of other bad things under the sun and blah blah blah. also, the things they feed cows to make them grow and produce more milk gets in your milk and is bad for you... one of the reasons lil kids are matureing a lot faster now days. ANOTHER thing missunderstood about milk is the fact that you need it to prevent osteoporosis. which is a disease that makes ur bones brittle or pourus... calcium in milk does not prevent that it does however help prevent another disease osteomalacia that makes bones bendy.
so unless you are a lil kid i dont suggest you drink much of it. I stopped drinking milk, and i take calcium and protein and vitamin D, my body fat has lowered and i dont get colds as much as before. idk if that is what you were asking about or not. if its not im sorry lol.

Woawww, that's an old thread
LOL

anyway, Kutlesschic, can you be a bit more specific about the bad sides of milk

it also kills the good germs and gets rid of things that your body needs. after this is over with it keeps the milk from souring.... but that attracts germs and lots of other bad things under the sun and blah blah blah. also, the things they feed cows to make them grow and produce more milk gets in your milk and is bad for you... one of the reasons lil kids are matureing a lot faster now days

I don't advocate drinking huge quantities of milk mostly because of lactose
but I don't think it's that bad

IMO yogurts are way better though
