First off, I would like to apologize for the late response, for I don’t check the Anabolic board often enough – diet board mostly.
To answer the question, I would have to not generalize milk as being the god of all evil, but I would rather give you, the reader, the ability to judge for yourself whether you think milk is appropriate for you. Keep in mind that my opinions are biased for I am a big opponent of drinking “modern” milk. By definition, “modern” milk is milk that is produced from non-organic cows.
Where does milk come from?
Milk is a product that is these days produced from “super” cows; by definition, these cows are usually drugged to the maximum, anything from steroids to antibiotics is what keeps them alive. In fact, most of these “super” cows have “abnormally large pituitary glands so that they produce three times more milk than the old fashioned scrub cow.” (1) Although abnormal steroid, growth hormone and antibiotic intake might sound ok to us; in reality, it can cause problems with the end product – milk. Think of it this way; ever see a 12 year old girl w/ DD breasts, ask her how much milk has she been drinking? It’s a known fact that some of these hormones that are given to cows can pass the pasteurization process and harm us. Yes, a ton of antibiotics can be harmful.

PASTEURIZATION
When “super” cow milk is pasteurized, most of the enzymes for digesting the milk – most notably, lactase, galactase, and phosphatase – are destroyed. Thus, without the highly needed enzymes, the milk is very hard to digest. In fact, the pancreas is not always able to produce these enzymes; in turn, the long term stress on the pancreas can lead to diabetes and other diseases. (2)

VITAMINS
Most milk has synthetic vitamin D added; as a result, synthetic vitamin D has been known to be toxic to the liver (3), and it is added to replace the natural vitamin D complex in butterfat…..

MILK AND INDIGESTION:
Definition
Indigestion, which is sometimes called dyspepsia, is a general term covering a group of nonspecific symptoms in the digestive tract. It is often described as a feeling of fullness, bloating, nausea, heartburn, or gassy discomfort in the chest or abdomen. The symptoms develop during meals or shortly afterward. In most cases, indigestion is a minor problem that often clears up without professional treatment.
Description
Indigestion or dyspepsia is a widespread condition, estimated to occur in 25% of the adult population of the United States. Most people with indigestion do not feel sick enough to see a doctor; nonetheless, it is a common reason for office visits. About 3% of visits to primary care doctors are for indigestion.
Causes and symptoms
Physical causes
The symptoms associated with indigestion have a variety of possible physical causes, ranging from commonplace food items to serious systemic disorders:
• Diet.
Milk, milk products, alcoholic beverages, tea, and coffee cause indigestion in some people because they stimulate the stomach's production of acid…..

At this point, it’s a little late my time, so I’m off to bed, but here is some other reading that can be helpful in your decision not to drink milk. Also, remember, I am not saying do not, under any circumstances, drink milk – only a blind fool would recommend that, all I’m saying is that milk is not the best product to go with for your diet. Personally, as stated beforehand, I am a big opponent of milk and consider it a big waste of money, and stomach space.
