is milk good for u?

some time ago i read about some ppl who argued that milk was very unhealthy and that it does more harm than good. i did some reading and decided so stop drinking milk and since then i have never been sick since. i must add that i also started eating more vegetables so i dont know if it's the milk alone. but i would never drink milk after rading those articles and there are thousands of them out there like this 1

and i did try to avoid dairy products but i gave up because it's impossible for me.

i drink milk everyday i dont think theres anything wrong with it ok some people can have a bad reaction to it but anybody can have a bad reaction with anything, its got alot of good stuff ie minerals, calcium etc which your body needs

If you don't want to drink milk that's fine. You will find information on the internet to back up any theory you chose. People are exposed to all sorts of crackpot theories nowadays. Here are three articles about how good milk is for you. I'll go with them.

maybe? i dont know, i guess maybe if they add stuff to it? then again it mite just be somthing going round

from what i learned the problem is the dairy industry goes for quantity at the cost of quality so the milk we have today does more harm than good. it will take time before there is any consensus on how bad it is but i am confident that it contributes to a lot of diseases.

largely from wat i read for example how cows are overmilked and the poor conditions they live in just common sense that these will have there bad side effects.

not a regular drinker of milk, but can't see it doing any bad to you, good for the teeth and bones. Popular with the kids.

that is fine with me. i just want to tell ppl that when i stopped drinking milk i noticed the difference in a month and i really believe that most of the milk does more harm than good. i also found out that you do not need to drink milk to get any "mineral" are watever that is old talk that is promoted by the dairy industry.

minerals present in milk like calcium, phosphorus, magnesium and zinc in concentrated form

jiro you might have some sort of lactose intolerance issue, see your gp about it but I have been drinking milk pretty much all my life and dont have any problems.

People can be intollerent to various foods. If you eat/drink something and it doesn't seem to be causing any problems then why worry.

If on the other hand you suffer from sinus problems, for instance, then it might be an idea to stop drinking milk in order to see if it makes any difference.

I love milk, no crackpot theory is going to make me stop drinking it.
