BF2S Forums got milk?

i make my own almond milk on occasion.  3 cups of organic almonds, a gallon of purified water....soy milk maker...mix with brown rice syrup and a pinch of sea salt...chill and...num nums!  Every vitamin preserved and usable, every antioxidant applied into blood stream, and the almond mulch left in the milk machine can be used in pan cakes, bread, or other healthy foods.

lol, it's not just those links I listed, it's been something i've observed over the years in MSM, in local press, and from educated people (and not so educated people).  There's a reason soy products are gaining market share..they're healthy.  And in places where health food reigns (SF Bay Area may lead the nation), it's not a surprise anymore to see as many alternatives to cow milk as there are ceral choices.  If you go to major supermarkets here, you'll see an equal amount of non-dairy milk as there is cow milk.  It's not just trendy either...it's because of demand due to the health aspect.  Once people learn that the dairy council pays for positive "findings" or overinflates other findings, aggressively (like Walmart aggression) suppressing competitor ad space (Oprah magazine is a good example...where there's tons of ads for dairy..none for soy products because dairy has taken up all the available spots).

Sure it sounds petty..after all, it's just milk, right?  But when you realize that some of the common things you consume may actually contribute to some of the problems you're having..then you'd be a fool to ignore it.  And if it's something easy to control (like trying out soy milk or some other alternative), why wouldn't you?

I read this claim from some health site and put it to the test.  It was 100% accurate in my experimentation so I told my wife.  She likewise noticed the difference.
By just switching from dairy milk to non-dairy milk you will begin to feel less bloated, more energetic, more clear-headed and healthier. After a few days, the improvement in health can be dramatic, particularly for asthmatics and people with congested airways.

We were cautious about yanking milk from our baby girl because hey, babies drink milk, right?  Well, as we investigated more, gathering medical opinion, pediatric and lactation specialist opinion..and of course online sources..we decided there was NO benefit from cow milk for our child.  We'd still give her calcium rich foods and other dairy products like yogurt, cheese, cottage cheese, etc because there's many other things there that are needed.  She doesn't get sick as much, runny noses stopped running longer..etc, etc..i've said it a few times before..no need to repeat.

Anyway, just a little history there so people don't think i suddenly WIKI'd milk or something to stir up fights on the boards! lol

Why fight milk itself, why not fight for regulations on farmers? Regulating corporate farmers would go a long way to making not only milk, but beef more healthy. I'm sorry, but I'm not in a position to seek substitutes for something I consume every single day. Besides, milk is healthy from a healthy cow, so your beef (punny) is with the farmers, not the milk.

As for lowering cholesterol, you can do a lot more for your heart and waistline by consuming whole grains and kicking refined flours, and you can do it more conveniently than by kicking milk.

has anyone else ever heard of the A4 'Miracle' Milk?

We are the only animals that drink milk after infancy (besides when we give it to cats). So why drink it? I prefer water and iced tea.

We drink it because for centuries water was not a healthy alternative.

Sorry to be off topic, but I just want to say; I finish a gallon of milk every two days.

Yep, and when you go to mexico, you can't drink either..so you drink a coke.  and don't even get me started on the "coke contaminates mexican water and milk" consipiracy!!!  lol

it does!?!

When I was in Paris (France), the milk I got from "Monoprix" was great. It had great flavor, didn't feel particularly "heavy" or anything. I'm no law scholar, but I think the EU has very strict regulations on the conditions that milking cows live in and what you can give them (I think they've outright banned giving hormones to cows). I'm sure if the FDA in the US made such regulations, then milk wouldn't be as "bad" as Chef makes it out to be.

I wanna try out some Silk though, it sounds pretty good.

Hell yeah!

If the -1 option was still here IRONCHEF would have lost 50 karma from this flame alone.

wow a crusade against milk

next time they'll ban bread, and then maybe chocolate, and then god knows what else


and in 50 yrs we'll all be eating pills and drinkin distilled water because everything else is unhealthy


guess what, i've never seen anyone dying because of milk...
