Well now I feel like an idiot, I just reported a post I meant to reply to......

I meant to say-

This is just silly.

If you're not lactose intolerant, why not drink it if you like it. If you are intolerant, don't drink it. That's all there is to it. It's not going to fill the bloodstream with fat and make you die as you sweat pure congealed fat from your glands and go into a simultaneous heart attack and massive stroke. If it was, newborns all over the world who drink milk all day would be dying horrific deaths and the earth would be a mammal-free planet. Of course this event would have occurred millions of years ago when milk started oozing out of skin (pre-mammary) and mammals would have never evolved as we know them today.

No boobs. That's a cryin' shame.

Milk isn't going to kill anyone. Might make you fat if you drink it by the truckload, but it definitely won't kill you.

I prefer organic milk. It has a much different taste and appearance than the "normal" stuff. Organic skim is usually thicker as well, not all watered down and chalky.

I get a significant amount of protein from dairy products and eggs (not to discount the nutritional contribution of legumes, I eat lots of those too). Here it is a year later after my first post in this thread, and I'm still happy, healthy, and fine.

Pass the ice cream. Hopefully it's Moose Tracks.

for that matter, all animal and much plant life makes use of life forms in the environment for sustenance. This is the natural order. Being able to choose what to consume is what adds to and enriches life.

I think I missed this thread altogether....

I agree with luciferase's lactose comment. Don't drink it if you're sensitive to it.

However, the bottom line is this: Most people should keep their saturated fat intake below 20g per day. A glass of 2% milk has 3g and a glass of whole milk has 5g. Total fat would be 5g and 8g, respectively. Most people should keep their total daily fat intake below 60g. (This is based on around 2,000 daily calories.)

Do the math. Keep track of all the food you eat in a typical day and be sure to keep your saturated fats low. (Hint: 2 eggs and 2 strips of bacon have 5g saturated fat.)
