Seems interesting, then why it is still presenting in all those textbooks?
ReplyDeleteThere are a lot of wrong things in text books. Most recently I've learned that in psychology text books, when they mention the phi phenomenon they often forget to mention beta and they confuse the two.
DeleteI always avoided milk, never liked and never will.I always believed it was bad for me!!!And yes lactose intolerance is a problem. Thanks for the advice!!!!
ReplyDeleteall babies are weaned!
ReplyDeleteI never could stomach milk or meat products I am lactose intolerant so it made being a vegetarian extremely easy for me to do and also with what they're putting in our meat dairy and poultry and fish you could not pay me to eat that garbage I like living too much.
ReplyDeleteI know how you feel. I used to drink milk sporadically, and always wondered why human were the only species on the planet that drank milk after being weaned... and recently I became vegetarian (beginning of January 2013) and have actually sampled meat twice and I literally felt ill afterwards. To think that I felt like this and built a tolerance to this is baffling to me. We are all brainwashed into thinking that animal products are good for us and necessary. I still eat eggs (organic) and cheese rarely, again organic. I love my new lifestyle and found it very easy to change .
DeleteLet's keep a fair perspective here, it was being vegetarian that made feel ill, eating put me back on track!
DeleteAggree. Have a vegan friend and the poor girl is a weird shade of grey. Its her choice but leaves me laughing. Everything now a days is as healthy as unhealthy. Calm down and leave the milk alone
DeleteI have been vegan 25 years (Im 44) and I am not a shade of grey - I am very healthy, people usually think I'm in my mid 20's. My children were both brought up without cows milk (but not entirely vegan) and they are big, strapping boys - both good at sports and big for their age. Being vegan is a very healthy lifestyle, I have more energy than most people and my sons notice that if they eat too much cheese they feel sluggish.
Deleteum all this says is six reasons to avoid milk the few comments, doesn't tell us any reasons to avoid milk. I'd like to read them, I already do avoid milk, except in cereal and to cook with. please fix the site so I can read what your trying to tell us.
ReplyDeleteA lot of websites are doing this (ie aol, huffpost, etc.) and it drives me nuts too. I'm usually at a place where I would need headphones on if I have to listen and I sometimes I don't want to shut out the world, it can be dangerous at some places, like the bus stop. If you want a transcript of a story, you can "sometimes" search google with the name of the story (i.e. "Six reasons to avoid milk") and find some other website that has it in print. I found this story printed on Huffpost. I think all web videos should be transcripted, especially with today's technology of being able to speak to type on your computer. Good Luck!
Deletehere ya go...

The Truth about Dairy
DeleteAccording to Dr. Willett, who has done many studies and reviewed the research on this topic, there are many reasons to pass up milk, including:
1. Milk doesn’t reduce fractures. Contrary to popular belief, eating dairy products has never been shown to reduce fracture risk. In fact, according to the Nurses’ Health Study dairy may increase risk of fractures by 50 percent!
2. Less dairy, better bones. Countries with lowest rates of dairy and calcium consumption (like those in Africa and Asia) have the lowest rates of osteoporosis.
3. Calcium isn’t as bone-protective as we thought. Studies of calcium supplementation have shown no benefit in reducing fracture risk. vitamin D appears to be much more important than calcium in preventing fractures.
4. Calcium may raise cancer risk. Research shows that higher intakes of both calcium and dairy products may increase a man’s risk of prostate cancer by 30 to 50 percent. Plus, dairy consumption increases the body’s level of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) — a known cancer promoter.
5. Calcium has benefits that dairy doesn’t. Calcium supplements, but not dairy products, may reduce the risk of colon cancer.
6. Not everyone can stomach dairy. About 75 percent of the world’s population is genetically unable to properly digest milk and other dairy products — a problem called lactose intolerance.
Thank you for posting the transcript. BTW: Make sure to take Vitamin D3. (D2 is plant based and is not tolerated as well by our bodies and is the culprit associated to all the warnings about Vitamin D). D3 helps regulate the pH of the blood and stops the body from dumping calcium from our bones to balance our bodies & blood when we become too acidic from eating a diet high in animal protein/products. Eat natural, fresh veggies & nuts, balance your meals for optimum protein and read up a lot before deciding what supplements are best for you. I love my GP, he's open minded, but his background is in conventional medicine... but he's a little less stuffy and conservative so he does give me good advice and is not one to write up a prescrip when I used to feel crappy... I can't tell you how good I feel since changing my lifestyle two months ago.
DeleteActually, it's Vitamin K2 that keeps and puts calcium in the bones that. But D3 is also very important in that role.
DeleteAccording to the what-Nurse's-Healthy-Study? In what year?
ReplyDeleteI stopped listening to him at this point
ReplyDeleteTHERE IS A HUGE DIFFERENCE. RAW Milk is good for you! History shows civilizations thriving on RAW milk. Raw Milk is a living food rich in bioavailable micronutrients and macronutrients derived from healthy, grass fed pastured cows free of antiobiotics and hormones just like nature intended. Also got many civilizations by while waiting for crops to grow!
ReplyDeletePasteurized / Homogenized white water, is full of DEAD bacteria, GMO Corn & Pesticides(that CAFO dairy cows eat) blood and puss is BAD for you, and why most cannot stomach it!
Mark McAfee, renowned speaker, and owner of Organic Pastures has done incredibly informational talks / videos on this subject. Google him, Youtube him! http://OrganicPastures.com
I agree Holli... thank you for this post. I drank raw milk for many years when I lived in a state that allowed it to be sold. Now I don't and can only find it for pet food. Even my Dr told me RAW milk is much better for me than pasteurized/homogenized because who knows what chemicals the government is letting companies add to the milk.
DeleteFlavored milk and yogurts will now be allowed to add aspartame... just duckie. All they think about is $$$$$$ while millions could and are having adverse affects to aspartame. Then in a few years the attorneys will be advertising ad nauseaum about the money set aside to sue the drug companies for yadda yadda and on and on. How bout thinking FIRST rather than after the fact ??
I will/would drink raw again if it was available. Why ? Mainly because IT'S GOOD !
IF raw milk is so good why do we drink milk designed for another species. Shouldn't we be using human milk designed for our bodies and not that of a cow.
DeleteI have always wondered the same thing, Neph. Who was the first person to say, hey; it's good for cows so it must be good for us? I am not lactose intolerant, but have always been revolted when presented with a glass of cow boob squeezins.
Deleteand why do you think plants are for us to eat? who said that?
DeleteWill you list the studies that prove raw milk is beneficial please.
ReplyDeleteTomatoes are NOT a vegetable either, they're a fruit. Screw this guy! I'm 55 years young and my Grandma is in her 90's; she always says, "Everything in moderation." I happen to like a cold glass of milk once in a while. I'm not lactose intolerant so I'll keep drinking the occasional glass of milk!
ReplyDeleteTomatoes are NOT a vegetable, they're a fruit. Strike one against this asshat. I'm 55 years young, my Grandma is in her 90's and she always says, "Everything in moderation." I like a cold glass of WHOLE milk on occasion and since I'm not lactose intolerant, I'll continue to do so.
ReplyDelete"The confusion about 'fruit' and 'vegetable' arises because of the differences in usage between scientists and cooks. Scientifically speaking, a tomato is definitely a fruit. True fruits are developed from the ovary in the base of the flower, and contain the seeds of the plant (though cultivated forms may be seedless). Blueberries, raspberries, and oranges are true fruits, and so are many kinds of nut. Some plants have a soft part which supports the seeds and is also called a 'fruit', though it is not developed from the ovary: the strawberry is an example.
DeleteAs far as cooking is concerned, some things which are strictly fruits, such as tomatoes or bean pods, may be called 'vegetables' because they are used in savoury rather than sweet cooking. The term 'vegetable' is more generally used of other edible parts of plants, such as cabbage leaves, celery stalks, and potato tubers, which are not strictly the fruit of the plant from which they come. Occasionally the term 'fruit' may be used to refer to a part of a plant which is not a fruit, but which is used in sweet cooking: rhubarb, for example." Strike one. Everything in moderation fine, but thats not an exscuse to support these bad products and moderation is not the way of the world today. Strike two. And btw, are you growing younger or older? The correct term is 55 years old. Strike three.
There are no studies that show RAW milk is beneficial. Claims like that come from the Western A Price Foundation and have nothing to do with science. The simple truth is that no species on earth drinks another's milk except humans. And all species stop after infancy. Out bodies cannot process the protein in milk, hence why it is inflammatory and not good for us.
ReplyDeleteI AGREE....
ReplyDeleteIt is pasteurized and/or processed milk and dairy that should be avoided. True fresh milk, considered in todays society as "raw", is highly beneficial. It is even used to help prevent and in some cases to help counteract many illnesses and/or diseases. Also, few who are lactose intolerant, (NOT EVERYONE), may find that they experience no problems when using RAW milk.
It is true that our food changed a lot just from a couple of years!!!Everything that we eat is processed of "made better" in a some way...,when I was a child we were eating cheese and dairy made from my grandma,there is not even one product that tastes the same..,and only because the way we feed the animals is other,"better",the way we grow everything is changed,the soil also...Our world is gone bad.
ReplyDeleteYou know I consider myself lucky that I live in a country that is still 20 yrs in the past!All the changes are not so strong here!! :)
And Veg,maybe..,I am still thinking about it,but for sure I will grow my own food,organic and bio- !
And last - I am sure that a lot of you don't even know how tastes a tomato without a single piece of fertilizer!!!Try it!!
and why i should believe you ! not what other says ! what a mess !
ReplyDeleteThere has been a study done showing that the level of nutrients in Raw milk whilst good is designed for calf's and not humans. Hence most people cannot stomach it. Only human breast milk is the one compatible with humans.... funny that.
ReplyDeleteIf this guy is discussing dead, pasteurized milk from caged cows on a corn diet contaminating the milk with pus, then I agree with him. Not raw or lightly pasteurized milk from a happy, healthy, grass fed cow. I have been drinking the latter for years and I am no longer allergic or feeling any of the ill effects.

ReplyDeleteI grew up on a farm in sunny South Africa, milk and milk products were and are still part of my daily menu. I don't suffer from any health problems although I did suffer from a heart attack but that was due to eating too many fatty rump steaks.
ReplyDeleteYou Americans must stop eating rubbish pre prepared meals and take up the art of home cooking and lots of your health problems will disappear like mist (fog) before the sun, but then again because of all the smog you don't get a healthy dose of sun on your bodies anymore.
How about whey protein? This has convinced me to quit dairy and reduce my meat intake (switch over to fish and seafood) but is whey protein a good source for protein or would there be health risks?
ReplyDeleteYea the thing about lactose intolerance and looking at it from an evolutionary perspective hit home, a history lecturer also pointed this out as well. What about soy milk and almond milk though? Also what about whey protein supplements? Im looking to change my diet up but i work out alot and i need the protein if im going to quit/cut down on meat.
ReplyDeleteThe first man who milked a cow and drank it, was a pervert.
ReplyDeleteI live off chocolate milk! 2 gallons a week at least. I'd starve to death if it weren't for that. Cheap and effective.
ReplyDeleteI live off chocolate milk! 3 gallons a week, would starve in this economy if it wasn't for that.
ReplyDeleteUnless you're from Sweden. We drink milk from we are born till we die of old age. Viva la evolution

ReplyDeleteI love milk. Raw milk cheese mostly goats milk. Peoples who use it as food live longer lives. Check out Ikaria
ReplyDeleteLove milk. Raw milk cheese mostly goats only raw. Peoples who use it live longer lives check out Ikaria
ReplyDeleteZen Li, your sentiments that "Countries with lowest rates of dairy and calcium consumption (like those in Africa and Asia) have the lowest rates of osteoporosis", is more on the false side especially for my continent Africa. I happen to be an African and from a country called Botswana. In my country we have a population of cattle that is over twice of that of the human population..and i don't think we are running short of milk. Meaning that we do consume a lot of "raw" milk especially folks in the rural parts of the country (where you find lots of cattle). The rural folk here do consume lots of raw dairy products as part of their staple diet, and i can assure you that most of them reach old age without having seen the inside of a hospital! They stay up healthy into old age, which is a contrast to our city dwellers who eat all sorts of prepacked rubbish...
