You mention how milk is the total vitamin package in that it contains calcium, iron, b, d, riboflavin, etc. In on food source but fail to mention all of these vitamins and nutrients are synthetic and do not occur naturally in milk. (I.e. Milk has no iron vitamin D or B and must enriched and fortified in order for it to be of nutritional value). I am not a vegan or vegeterian but can without equivocation say; milk is detrimental to human well being. If fact the case really has to be made for why it is even considered part of a human diet or healthy at all. About your post it seems biased at best and here’s why.

He said, that some bacteria in milk feed some cells people have when cancer, and that they just make everything worse. She stopped drinking milk...not much later she was going to get operated adn the y discovered that it was COMPLETELY gone...however they HAD to operate her just in case. They found NOTHING... IF she would've continued drinking milk..she would have ended in a surelly different way. My other moms friend also has cancer...for about 2 or 3 years now...my mom told her to stop drinking milk..just in case. I dont like milk anyway so it was not hard for me to stop drinking milk.

Yes? So, wouldn't I need to continue to only look for and injest organic cheese, in order not to have Rbt in my cheese? yes, but as a lover of cheese and milk, i drink organic milk, and am very picky about not eating any non organic cheese,because i'm afraid of the hormone issue. i'm asssuming this still can be found in cheese, since cheese is made from milk?

The breakdown is similar. Humans all over the world have been drinking and eating cows, sheep and goat milk and milk products for thousands of years. The civilisations that did not have the same access did not evolve to digest lactose. It is extremely challenging to meet your calcium needs without milk (soy/ cows/ rice or otherwise). Sure, have a cup of almonds to meet 30% of needs (and 500kcals that goes with it!). Remember too soy, almond, rice milk are waaay more processed than cows milk. hmm, so we shouldn't eat meat? we are not cows so we shouldn't eat cows? haven't you seen kittens drinking from pigs when they lose their Moms?

If you are concerned about what is in your milk find a local farmer who has milk for sale. I am 43 and have not missed a day of work for illness in 25 years and my cholesterol is lower than anyone I work with so whole milk and butter are not bad for you as a sensible part of your diet.

It is not so that it holds more food, the stomachs were designed to diguest the food in order to make milk/calcium. And the reason for cheese, butter was because it was a way to keep it fresh they couldn't always have milk on hand because they did not have refrigeration like we do today.

So we heat up the milk to loose the bad bacteria...and also the good bacteria especially lactaid the enzyme that helps you digest the lactose in the milk...yet we wonder why people are lactose intolerant!!! its simple people. I am one of the lucky ones that actually gets to drink Raw milk. So many people that shop at our dairy are lactose intolerant yet, the real raw milk, yoghurt, butter etc. does not bother them!!! Fancy that. Not only does it taste better it is truely better for you. The real cream comes right to the top! In this life we all need to realize that even with all the diet craizes out there we are not getting skinny!!! Maybe we need to rethink our process by eating naturally. The food that God gave us!!! WE are supposed to eat meat, veggies, and yes even milk. WE need the fat in milk and in meat to survive if you cut it out completely you will become very very ill and perhaps die. Did you ever wonder why and when we really started to get heart disease? Your Great Grandma/Grandpa didn't have it and if they did they were one of the few. 1/2 the states in the US it is legal to sell raw milk! I wish it would be legal in every state. Once people tried it and realized how much better it is for them then they would know the truth! Please contact your senator to get the Raw milk approved. Another way I see it is...(well I don't understand) WE are able to buy alcohol, cigarettes and other items that are bad for us and are proven to be.. yet we can not buy milk that is super healthy for us!!????!!!??? Why? Even if you do not want to believe that raw milk is better for you at least give us a chance to buy it! you can have your crappy pasturized store milk with formaldehyde and hormones in it! But let me have my real raw dairy milk. I could go on for days about this!! but check out www.rawmilk.com and do what is best for you drinking and enjoying real raw milk from a dairy you trust. you will be amazed just like I was. oh and one more interesting thing from a personal experience...I have been really sick for about 5 years or so (every month I would come down with something) not just little colds either...in the hospital!! (I am only 27) I started drinking raw milk daily as of May of 2009 (I only changed my diet of milk and fat/I only used rendered fat that I make my self) I have not been sick since!!! AMAZING POWERFUL RAW MILK I OWE IT TO YOU!!! Well here are the real facts….

I have done some research on this and found that after a certain age our bodies lose the enzyme required to break down this milk completely resulting in an indigestible sludge that inhibits proper nutrient absorption in the intestine. Does anyone have more on this. I have also turned to goat milk in recent years and yogurts because of the valuable digestive enzymes they provide and ease of digestion. Also a remedy to lactose intolerance.

I typically consume 1-2 servings of dairy each day along with 4-5 veggies, including calcium-rich ones and augment with calcium supplements; I know many people, especially young men, who drink a gallon of milk every day. Seems like too much of a good thing to me. As with so many other food "issues," moderation is the key.
