• this is true. I used to drink soda all day. I stopped and now I drink more milk and i lost 6 lbs without even trying or needing too. And it's great that you lost 202 LBS! That's awesome!

  LOL! Cheese is good for the teeth. It reduces plaque :) I honestly would NEVER give up my milk, dairy or any kinds of meat. I am an omnivore..and I'm staying that way.

  
  I totally agree! I love the list and would never give up milk, cream, sour cream, ice cream and especially BUTTER! I've never purchased margarine and I plan to keep it that way. Also, while I may like the taste of soy milk and even rice milk NOTHING can compare to plain old ice cold milk with a rich thick chocolately anything. And water doesn't wash down peanut butter very well either. It's gotta be milk, and real meat...and I'm an omnivore too.

  um, actually, it doesnt. the cows get milked over and over several times a day. if this were by hand, like farmer john was sitting on a stool milking elsie into a pail like they want you to imagine, that would be no problem.

  however, in reality they are milked by machines. the machines are very rough on the udders, and they rub the udders raw. that doesnt stop them from getting hooked up to the machines again in a few hours, though. so shortly those sores are open, oozing, and PUS-filled. guess where that pus goes? into the milk. thats why the cows are kept on perpetual antibiotics. http://www.milksucks.com/pus.asp

   Harvard School of Public Health, on the Consumption of Dairy Products (2005):
  “The recommendation to drink three glasses of low-fat milk or eat three servings of other dairy products per day to prevent osteoporosis is another step in the wrong direction. … Three glasses of low-fat milk add more than 300 calories a day. This is a real issue for the millions of Americans who are trying to control their weight. What's more, millions of Americans are lactose intolerant, and even small amounts of milk or dairy products give them stomachaches, gas, or other problems. This recommendation ignores the lack of evidence for a link between consumption of dairy products and prevention of osteoporosis. It also ignores the possible increases in risk of ovarian cancer and prostate cancer associated with dairy products.”

  Just referring to the section I highlighted in pink there: You'd think that if these people are going to Harvard then maybe they'd factor in the fact that people who actually know ANYTHING about nutrition and staying healthy are going to take into account that 300 calories for the milk when they review their daily caloric needs. Do they take us ALL for idiots?

  And on the milking issues I don't have the info right now but I think in Davis, California they have been experimenting with a system that basically allows cows to milk themselves. When the cow wants, it walks up to a shower area and gets a rinse and then gets milked. It's all automated and activated by the cow walking onto a platform. The news story I saw it on said they were showing increased production and cow health. It's been a couple years since I saw this story on television though and I am currently unable to find it on the internet.

• Maybe the milk in your area but i buy from a free range dairy... that doesn't use hormones or antibiotics... you can see the cows being milked... no puss or nasties. healthy  cows who willingly line up to be milked. any animal who requires antibiotics is "sick" and it's milk is not used.
