Milk is bad for humans

[Visaria]

On the other hand a few months ago in Europe I used 3.8% milk for my coffee and that was the richest taste I have ever drunk, I am still trying to replicate it here in the US... US whole milk is only 3.2%.

I drink 5% fat whole milk every day here in London. It's called gold top and comes from Jersey and Guernsey cows.

I have a pint of homogenized whole milk with two teaspoons of instant coffee, each morning for breakfast. Most times, I have a heaping teaspoon of whey protein/chocolate pudding powder in there, too.

I'm 58 and will shortly do my first 50-mile run in over a decade, on the way to a 100-mile run sometime in calendar 2019. I weigh 10 lbs over what I did as a high school graduate, 20 lbs over the boxing/wrestling I did as a college junior, and (back to) 10 lbs over my last 100-mile run, 2005. My most common lunch over the past 30+ years has been a generic microwaved beef+bean burrito. Most common dinner has been a ramen buried in chopped veggies (whatever was on sale). Amongst other 'additives' I consume a multi and a glucosamine daily.

No allergies. Rarely sick. (Crosses fingers.) In 40+ years, have never "filtered" backcountry water when hiking. (Thousands of miles...)

If you guys want to sip a bit of heaven, BTW, go to a farmers' market and pick yourselves up a gallon of unpasteurized, non-homogenized milk (for, like $8-$10/gallon, no lie.) The ones marked loudly with NOT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION. Give it a shake or two, and then pour some HEAVEN.

A friend grew up on a farm, had her ovaries removed due to an infection from drinking unpasteurized milk.

Milk leeches calcium from the body? Sorry, that's just Internet nonsense. Which renders some of the other claims as questionable.

Say what?!

Unless you're running from the law or after an ice cream truck, WHY?

Heck, even Kenneth Cooper, the "father of aerobics," said that people running more than 15 miles a week are doing it for reasons other than health.

A non-smoking friend ran ultramarathons -- one of the best around and for many years -- but died from throat cancer.

Just read this from a 2016(??) Outside article on the iconic Noakes...
'There was one question that always fascinated Noakes: Why wasn’t he faster?

Competition, he realized, had exposed something profound to him. This was why people ran in events they had no chance of winning. The mere act of pushing to the limits was a way of peeling back the layers and learning important truths.

“Even in the most crowded races,” he wrote in the intro to Lore, “the point is reached when fatigue drives us back into ourselves, into those secluded parts of our souls that we discover only under times of such duress and from which we emerge with a clearer perspective of the people we truly are.”'

I can relate to that. It is almost a religious experience when I train to failure (and a bit beyond) during resistance training. People I know regularly tell me they could never get into resistance training because it's so boring. But when you're testing your very limits it is anything BUT boring.

Even so, are you sure that the kind of distance running you're talking about it good for you? How many miles do you average a week in the normal course?

No need to be exposed to bacteria when it can be easily avoided

Been drinking raw milk for more than 10 years, great taste and no problems with it. Too much roman catholic fearmongering here. Germs are everywhere.

Boiling milk doesn't change the taste but kills bacteria, easy solution.

IMO, milk consumption in children results in increased linear growth and adult height. By and large it's likely the fact that rbGH is commonly used by the conventional/non organic brands, but I believe kids can benefit from organic, grass-fed cow's milk in their developmental years.
