Milk!?

well, milk is one of the basic of my eating habits, damn....it's more dangerous than smoking. maybe I should start to smoke and stop drinking milk?

Wouldn't all the calcium in milk DECREASE the risk in bone fractures?

I'll tell you what tastes suprisingly nice, GOAT MILK.

I am lactose intolerant and I don't consider myself an Adult, yet.
I still drink normal milk, but pay for it, dearly.
I have to go to the bathroom, bye.

''Consumption of milk is reported to increase the risk of bone fractures, due to animal protein's effect on intensifying urinary calcium excretion. It is because of this that milk may in fact contribute to osteoporosis, rather than preventing it as is commonly thought ''

wikipedia is lying, I know that...........

EDIT: I feel it more than know but.........

Me too. And I love milk.
I heard that 80% of Asian people can't drink it. They can't digest it. Poor people. They can't even eat milk ice-cream. They make it wit soya milk.

I've hread about it, but they still have the best cow farms in the world.

[QUOTE=SiLeNtPuNk]Did you know that most adult humans are lactose intolerant? This is because when you stop breastfeeding, your body stops producing as much of the enzyme lactase (essential for proper digestion of lactose). In simple terms, milk is for babies.
Adults that consume milk are likely to experience subtle or not so subtle symptoms...
such as:
- increase the risk of bone fractures
- increase in gas
- increase in the production of mucus
- increase in the risk of prostate cancer
- higher cholesteral levels
the list goes on...

There is no nutrient in milk that you cannot find in other foods.

Now the political bit.
You may be thinking: 'But milk must be good, the government tells me to drink it!' (I am British but I know this also applies elsewhere).
My government is not run by nutritionists... I know that much. It is run by Capitalists who make a lot of money outta the HUGE amount of dairy farms there are in the country.
Makes sense?

But hey, if you like milk, go on drinking it.
I don't drink it but I do like a bit o cheese every now and then, I do stop eating this when I have a cough though, as it really does prolong it, thanks to the added phlegm and all...

do you belong to PETA also?

I drank like 10 white russians one night and spent the next day, uh, tied up for a lot of the day and was doubled up with cramps. This was no normal hangover.

I don't drink a lot of milk anyway. Never really had a taste for it. Down with the Gov't.

PS your avatar is [I]too[/I] cute.

because I'll renounce my citizenship before I give that up

or if nothing else, say YooHoo is alright

technicly, everything you eat or drink kill you in someway....

not eating or drinking will kill you even quicker

[QUOTE=nathaniel parker]not eating or drinking will kill you even quicker[/QUOTE]
so it dosen't matter if milk is bad or good for you.

[QUOTE=nathaniel parker]do you belong to PETA also?[/QUOTE]
No I don't belong to PETA

I'm with you - I drink soya milk. I do have organic milk in my tea because soy milk tastes disgusting in it.

I love cheese and icecream though!

Funny thing, the growth hormone in cows milk is the one that scientists clone to use in lab experiments when they want to speed up the growth of cancer.

This is why, if you smoke AND drink milk, you are very likely to develop cancer sooner and faster.

The most hilarious part, to me, is this. Cow milk is for baby cows. People milk is for baby people. Goat milk is for baby goats. Notice a trend?

exactly :biggthump

okay, so the point is that we shouldn't drink milk, and what instead?

Well if you must have ice cream, get dairy free, if you must have cheese, get dairy free etc.etc.

But really, if you must have it, just don't have it too often. Too many times I'd see people at my 6th form college buying pints of milk and drinking them like they were just bottles of water or something, believing that it was doing them a world of good.

well I don't eat chees too much and I don't even remember when I last time have eaten ice cream, but milk is a basic of cacao that I drink a lot, and soya milk is not so good.
Why everything what is good have to kill me?

I see you catch the idea.....

are you going to get it tattooed over your actual nipple?
Also... a bit off topic...

It is pointless to aviod things that kill you, becuase there are so many. You are just wasteing your time.

By the way, one of you will die in two years. sorry to say.

who me?
I won't give up drinking milk, people say the water I drink is dangerous and could kill me but I drink it since I was 5 years old and I still live. so milk won't kill me too. and I hate that normal food is replaced with some substitutes, like soya milk, like soya meat, like wtf?

[QUOTE=SiLeNtPuNk]are you going to get it tattooed over your actual nipple?

No, I was only kidding about that.
And so what if I'm off topic? Is this prison camp?

off topics are allowed on this forum, only in few places we can't do that.

[QUOTE=Mr.Shadov]who me?

I wouldn't really call cow's milk 'normal'. I would say that consuming soya beans is more natural than drinking from a cow's udder...

True, many people think it is correct because it is old, but people also thought the world was flat back then, y'know.
:laughing:
And as for 'bean milk', it's the same as juice. You drink juice right? It's called milk because of its colour, opacity and because it's an alternative to cow's milk.

I'm running out of arguments.....well, okay. I get it.
but can anyone explain me why everything that is suposed to kill me is so good and thing that should be good for me taste like crap....? and if I choose to drink milk should I feel guilty about that?

[COLOR=Silver]It was a dark and stormy night and I heard a thumping at the door.
There stood a cow! On its hind legs, udders flapping in the gale.
'You took milk from my BEBIES!' it mooed, and moved aside to reveal it's malnourished calf![/COLOR]

and from that night, I was traumatised!

There was a time when my ma told me to stop drinking pop and drink milk.
Now, you guys tell me to stop drinking milk.

When will it end?
