Yea or Nay on Drinking Milk?

[Rusty]

What are your thoughts on including milk as part of a healthy diet?

 

The "experts" can't agree, we hear everything from:

 

"only babies are meant to drink milk"

 

"dairy is important, everyone should drink lots of milk"

 

"only drink low fat milk"

 

"don't drink low fat milk, drink whole milk"

 

"fat free milk is nothing but a glass of sugar water"

 

"fat free milk is packed with protein and calcium" 

 

and on and on  .  .  .  .

 

 

Personally, we go through a gallon of skim milk a day.

Milk is a big yes! Oreos would not be the same without it

Support the dairy farmer

Poor bastards work hard and also preserve open space.

_{I haven't had a glass of milk in years. Like Smoking Gun, the only time I have "milk" is with my coffee and I use half and half. I am thinking if you are going to drink it you would want it as natural as possible and not so "processed" so maybe whole milk would be better.}

Chocolate milk is awesome. Drink it all the time.

Milk in coffee for me a NO NO, I use light cream or if need be 1/2 & 1/2

 

Regular milk, if I'm enjoying some good homemade cookies, or cereal

Raw dairy only. And even then, only occasionally.   It's not intended on being consumed any other way.  The good, probiotic bacteria in the milk is required to properly digest and absorb the nutrients in tbe dairy.

 

I'd recommend that if you're iffy about dairy or any other food, ask yourself if you really need it.  Then, for stuff like dairy, approach it like an allergist would.  Cut it out entirely for 30 days.  Then start back slowly with it.  If you'rd having gas, bloating, indigestion/heartburn, joint pain, excess mucous or anything else out of the ordinary then you know if doesn't work for you.  

 

Raw dairy will give you far less problems then other stuff.  Goats milk is another good thing to try of you aren't able to digest raw cow's milk

What do you dunk your Oreos in if you dont drink milk!!!???

[TDietz]

Organic whole, expiration date is like 2 months. We never drink it, just put it in stuff, 1/2 gal lasts a week or so

coffee and cereal only, mainly 2%...

I have a half cup of 2% every day with my breakfast cereal or straight up. Helps with the stomach for the meds I take
