The Myth Of Milk?

[Southpaw16BF]

What are your thoughts on Milk?

Lots of people debate whether it's good or bad.

Alot of people say it's no good for you and is has chemicals and steriods in it, and it isnt healthly to drink something from a cow. And it's a myth that it makes your bones stronger etc. And you shound't drink it. And shound't eat nothing that milk has been apart of.

But other people say you have to drink milk, it really helps your bones and growth and provides.

I don't know what to belive...........

Milk is an odd one. We are the only ones that drink another animals milk, which is weird when you look at it like that. I have heard it's actually been linked with brittle bones.

i just took my level 1 coaching theory last weekend, and the instructor said the best possible thing to drink in between practices or after a workout is choc milk because it has the perfect mix of carbs, protein and fat to help muscles recover

You can get milk without growth hormones in lots of places, some are organic (costs more) others not. Regarding the fact that we're the only ones drinking another animals milk; that's true but there are lots of people (mostly coming from Central Asia) who have been drinking milk for close to 10,000 years. That's roughly 500 generations. If you're lactose intollerant (as lots of people are -- don't drink it). But there are millions of healthy people who eat milk everyday and live long, healthy lives: (cheese, yogurt, kefir, buttermilk) in thousands of varieties.

F**K protein shakes. Get some kefir (you can get it fruit flavored if you want) and drink some before and after you work out. It's like a slightly sour liquidy yogurt drink. But it all boils down to what works well for you.

For the most part milk is no good. I used to think it was, just like they tell you in grade school "drink milk for your bones and teeth". It was bull ****. Turns out the grade school "Milk is healthy" campaigns have been funded by a multi million dollar dairy lobby. Last I saw some 160 million dollars was given to schools from dairy lobby groups to promote this message.

Turns out milk actually causes osteoporosis. The protiens found in milk are very acidic. When they enter the blood stream the body breaks down calcium from the bones and pumps it in the blood to even out the PH. So if your mom has osteoporosis, tell her to ignore the dairy lobby educated doctor and stop with the milk.

Cancer rates are also much higher in countries who consume a lot of dairy products.

Dairy products come in a lot of varieties. Cheeseburgers, buns and milk shakes is not a good diet. Feta cheese, pita, olive oil is a good source of dairy products. Scarfing down a pint of hagen-daz ice cream after a dinner of cheez whiz and cheetos isn't the best source of dairy. Having an eggplant parmesian (mozzerella) for dinner, good bread, olive oil, slices of parmesian cheese, salad and wine; that's a good source of dairy.

Lots of things are bad - or not as good taken in isolation - but much better in combination. We see that in exercise. Isolating muscle groups is excellent for a body builder, not as good for a boxer.
