Hmmm. Like meat it increases the need for anti-oxidants, that I understand. But I think you'd need to drink a **** load of milk before it has an effect. Anyway, interesting read.
****, I thought it was good for you, I drink about a litre of skimmed milk a day, for the protein mostly. I'll have to look into this.
Just drink what you think, doctors give us all sorts of crap that we can and cant drink/eat. look at eggs, if you more than 4-5 a week its bad (cant remember the link) but my grandma's like 80 and eats one a day for her breakfast. if you think it helps you then drink it if not dont. its all psycological IMO
what about yoghurts? i eat a good portion of that everyday and it's very low in fat tinned sardines are good for calcium too '
Can too much stunt growth? I drank a lot of milk from 11-15 and found that my body developed much faster than my peers
i think thats an outdated theory it was thought that eggs gave you too much cholesterol which they don't
Doctors are mostly clueless on nutrition. The eggs are bad nonsense has been debunked to death, yet they still cling to it. Milk is not bad, but the quality depends on what the cows were fed, just like with eggs. I buy my eggs from a local farm 100 meters down the road. The shells are thick and hard, the yolk is deep yellow. If I buy an egg in the supermarket the quality is shocking, it falls apart when you touch it and the yolk is tasteless and colorless. They say butter is bad, and they tell us to eat ****ing margarine. Hydrogenized fats for ****s sake.
This debate will not be solved on ESB, I have a friend who's a nutritionist and basically she said that milk is the only thing no one in her classes could agree on. I just follow the old adage 'everything in moderation', we know milk has good and bad aspects so I have some with cereal about 4 days a week and every weight lifting day I have a glass after my workout. It adds up to about 4 cups/1 litre of milk per week.
Indeed. AFAIK they did research in the 60's or so, on rabbits. Rabbits aren't used to eating eggs and thus responded with all sorts of hormonal imbalances (cholesterol is a precursor to numerous important hormones). Newer research shows that there is no link between dietary cholesterol (in food) and blood cholesterol. None at all. They had people eating up to 8 eggs a day, and nothing happened at all.
oh right was unaware of that, i'm sure someone was going on about it about 5 months ago on the radio and loads of people were ringing in
It's even worse than I remembered. The research was done in 1913, in the more recent research people were given up to 15 egg yolks a day instead of 6. Same conclusion though, it had no effect.

Unless you're lactose-intolerant, drink milk. Drink whole milk. Drink raw milk if you can get it. Eat eggs. Stop being a girly man. They will not harm you. Fat is good for you.
You don't need much milk. If you're talking about calcium intake, the human body does not require much unless it is a newborn child. Too much milk infact causes demineralisation of your bones.
