milk robs your body of calcium and vitamin D. there is evidence that is the case.
stick with almond milk.
if milk was so good for the bones then why does the US drink so much of it yet have the higest osteoperosis, and vietnam drinks so little and has the lowest in the world cases? there is a link here.
due to propaganda we were raised to think milk does a body good, but it doesn't.. like the person said earlier milk is for baby cows.. no mammal drinks milk of another species.. they drink their own as babies.
dont forget how much money the dairy companies make, they have an entire lane at the supermarket and if you notice its always obese and fatties who are buying it.
I was recently at a farm and there was a cow that people were invited to milk.. and i asked the woman jokingly if i could drink the milk. she laughed and said it has to be pasteurized. basically you are getting milk from a steroid laden, hormone pumped cow.. that is then zapped.. sounds yummy to me. if it was so great for you how come you couldn't drink it right away from the cow as nature would intend without getting extremely sick?
its like comparing freshly squeezed OJ to the pasteurized garbage they sell at the supermarket.. no comparison!
PS. do you EVER see the great athletes at the gym or road races carrying around a gallon of milk with them drinking? or gatorade? or any other sugar laced drink that sellout athletes endorse? just WATER.. thats what i would stick with 90% of the time
and for your smoothies use almond milk (which still has sugar and should be used sparingly)
