My 7 year old is a milk addict and she says the same. She can smell the difference as well as taste it.

As if the milk industry didn't have a hand in that article... Milk can help people lose weight? Now that is laughable. Milk is a food designed for a calf to grow into a 1 ton cow.

Calcium is better off ingested from dark green vegetables.

Pasteurised/homogenised cows milk has also been linked to the following:

Diarrhea
Cramps
Bloating
Gas
Gastrointestinal bleeding
Iron-deficiency anemia
Skin rashes
Allergies
Colic in infants
Osteoporosis
Increased tooth decay
Arthritis
Increased tooth decay
Growth problems in children
Heart disease

Recurrent ear infections in children

Rheumatoid arthritis
Infertility

We are probably not designed to drink alcohol or smoke pot either.
Unless you are Keith Richards offspring anyway.

Get away wi' ye!

Much, I suspect too much, has been made of the benefits of calcium in dairy products.

Daliy calcium requirement is ~1 gram calcium (~2.5 grams CaCO3).

Dissolve 2.5 grams of limestone in 5.7 grams of citric acid per daily dose. To equal parts of lemon juice and sugar, add citric acid to taste and calcium citrate to effect daily dose. Ensure dosee has adequate exposure to sunlight or give 1,000 IU vitamin D daily.

Dosage cost: limestone, negligible if picked up on a ramble; citric acid, ~$0.10; lemon juice, negligible if from garden; sugar ~$0.03; vitamin D, exposure to sunlight free, tablets $0.10; Total ~$0.25 per daily dose.

Deano could be onto something. It appears milk has many detractors....

We are talking about the same thing, milk, that white liquid you buy in the supermarket? Sounds like you're talking about crack or heroin.

It has the same effect on some people...it isn't strictly a MUST in the diet and a lot of people feel better for not having it.

I agree with Dean M's comments.

Fortunately Australian cows frolic daily in the abundant sunshine that you may enjoy vitamin D in your milk.

Yeah for example, if anybody suffers from exzema or other skin problems try eliminating milk and other dairy from your diet. Chances are that it will improve or completely go away.

Milk has the same effect as Crack or Heroin ? Come on, that's a load of old cobblers.
