Are Any Of You Milk Drinkers

My ADD son and myself are Milk Freaks. We just love the taste and Texture of Milk

I get cravings for milk 1 week out of the month.....It's a girl thing...lol...


I only drink skim milk as I've always had tummy troubles with dairy.....

Mostly I don't like milk.....

Paula

I always drink lots of it when I eat sweets. Otherwise the sugar makes me crazy.

Yup, love it...skim only....as I grew up on skim....my mom was smart as she raised us kids on skim....I love it with my cereal....I love it with sweets when I eat them...I love it with a tuna fish sandwich....I don't like it plain though....I have to have it WITH something:)

By the way, it's very healthy and nutritious:) for many reasons....If you have kids....do not start kids on skim until they are two....

Yep, milk is my favourite drink - after Mcdonald chocolate milkshake that is...mmmmmmmmmm

im sorta with paul on this one. can i put chocolate in my milk and have it still count here? or strawberry? i love that nestles quick stuff. or how about taking an oreo cookie and dipping it in a glass of milk? mmmm.

Hey I take the 10 % table cream and add a good glut of it to my 2% or choclate milk to give it some of the flavor that they take away with there processing

I spent 5 years working part time for a dairy farmer where I could have all the milk I wanted for free

It was about 10-12 % cream

Man was it rich and good

Okay, now there's a fringe benefit you don't see everyday....all the milk you want to drink...talk about free osteoporosis prevention!:)

I love milk. For some reason certain foods make me crave it: most sugary treats, flour tortillas, twinkies, cup cakes, and burnt bread.

d lerious,
that is incredibly specific,
burnt bread makes you crave milk?

chocolate cake, peanut butter, and chilli do it for me.

i'm an occasional milk drinker

Well, from the time I was little, one thing I loved to do when I got the munchies was to get a piece of wonder bread, and burn it a bit on the gas stove(it sucks if you try to do this on an electric stove).

BTW- a good remedy for when you've had something really spicey is one of the following:

1. Put ordinary salt on you hand and then lick it. This will help the sting because the salt absorbs it.

or you can put extra salt on something else and eat that, if you are in polite company.

my adhd son loves his milk, i love butter milk but i like semi skimmed milk as well.

I didn't realize so many other adults were drinking milk too.
I drink three glasses of skim milk a day.
And need milk with chocolate brownies :)

I only drink milk with pancakes and hot milk with honey.

When I was au-pairing in Ireland almost ten years ago I drank more milk, cause the family had cows and we would drink fresh milk. I liked that much better.

i hate milk. Always have.

i LOOOOOOOOOOVE milk. Unfortunately I'm lactose intolerant. So, I have soy milk with my cereal, and just suffer the consequences when I can't resist the real deal. :p

Used to be lactose intolerant and for some reason hated the flavour of melk when I was younger, however nowadays, I drink at least 2 glasses a day. I prefer raw cow milk, but alas it isn't as easy to come by these days as I have been able to in the past, so I mostly settle for either goat's milk or a good organic ultrapasteurized milk (I love the flavour of organic valley's ultrapasteurized milk)

I love it! And I've been craving it a lot lately.

Not regularly.

I don't like how cows are mistreated in milking and beef operations.

I don't like all the people I see getting cancers and heart bypass operations due to fatty diets of animal products like dairy and meats.

I also have read stuff about a link between small children drinking milk and the onset of Type 1 Diabetes.

Remember: cow's milk, is full of antibodies and immune products that are for calves, not humans. Who wants to stimulate an autoimmune disease like Type 1 Diabetes. Yikes!

In the US, there is also the concern about BGH.

Seen any of the undercover PETA footage/pics of the BGH cows? Their udders are so swollen with milk that they drag on the ground and they cry. Very sad.

It should make a person think 2x about drinking milk. :S

Milk is also full of saturated fat.

Dietary Fat is of HUGE concern in Coronary Artery (heart) Disease development (as CAD is the #1 killer in N. America). Dietary fat is also involved in the development of various cancers. (e.g prostate cancer, colon cancer, etc.)

The label on milk SAYS "1% Milk Fat", for example, but that is by WEIGHT (rather than by calories which is deceptive.

The Dairy Industry lobbied hard to allow the fat content to be misleadingly shown this way. Same with Cheese. (Read Susan Powter's books and her analysis on the FDA's inaction on this sometime.)


re: PCRM.ORG

The Physician's Committee for Responsible Medicine (a non-profit research group) or PCRM, also warns against dairy consumption.

http://www.pcrm.org/health/veginfo/dairy.html

As they say, we just weren't designed to suckle cow's milk. Period.

Have to say that I find it hard not to take milk or cream in my coffee, however.

I love milk - I used to drink a liter a day. Prior to my surgery, I had to settle for lactose milk *bleah*. However, after my surgery, I limit myself to only a pint or two a day.

As far as animals are concerned (as one person pointed out) - I believe we were "designed" to use animals for meat & drink. Oh, and plant some new ones. heh ;)

I hate most milk. The only kind I can drink and stand is chocolate, but I'm not real fond of that either. Milk was the only thing school offered to drink with lunch though, so after 13 years of it you don't taste it. I don't even eat cereal because it requires milk!!

Actually, of all the species on earth, humans are the only ones who continue to consume milk after we are weaned as babies.

because we value it as benig SSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOOOD!!!!!!

i drink a lot of milk and since i was a young child i have always like the smell of milk.

I drink milk with breakfast and dinner.

I drink a lot of milk....but hardly anyone else here does. Some are lactose intolerant.

I just like milk in my cereal. As I got older, I eventually became lactose intolerant. Which is funny because I grew up on a dairy farm.

Oh goodie! PETA Propoganda!

Besides being overhyped, the pictures of abused and fetid cows that PETA trots around are far from the norm. The vast majority of dairy farms look nothing like PETA hysterically claims they do. You can safely ignore those pictures. In fact, you like, go visit a dairy farm yourself. Many are happy to give you a tour.

One glass of Vitamin D milk contains a trivial 8 grams of fat, of which only 5 grams are saturated. Your morning pop tarts or honey cheerios weigh in at about the same. If you're eating a sugary cereal, it will have even more. Of course, you can always choose to drink 1% or Skin milk and cut the fat content even more. Short of specialty foods or an all vegetable diet, you'll find that milk is hardly the largest fat source in most people's nutrition.

Vitamin D deficiency is more strongly linked to diabetes than a lack of milk is. Also dangerous to children is a lack of sufficient Vitamin A, Vitamin B12, and Calcium in a child's diet. Amazingly, all of these vital nutrients are found in modern processed milk!

Modern milk is tested before being accepted at the processing plant. If it has traces of antibiotics, growth hormones, or other undesirable elements, the entire truck is rejected. Additionally, under the law farmers are financially responsible for disposing of contaminated milk. They can't sell it for food, and it can't be dumped down the drain so they instead have to send it to specialized processing plants that can safely dispose of it. For these reasons, dairy farmers try very hard to deliver a clean, uncontaminated product. Many, for example, don't even milk cows which are sick.

Only if that person is gullible enough to believe PETA's lies. PETA never tells you where their videos come from. They make a point of taking exaggerated video and implying that what you see is a regular condition. For example, they love showing videos of cows walking around in mud a few inches deep. The videos are always obviously taken after a rainstorm. Lets think about this. A hundred cows walking around a pen... well that will ensure that the pen is nothing but dirt. And what happens to dirt after a rain storm? PETA also loves showing video of sick and pathetic looking cows. Watch their videos and you notice that the sick cows are always in segregated pens away from the rest of the herd, just like they should be. Are we supposed to be outraged because animals become sick sometimes?

Re: Crying cows. I cry when I'm sick. Why wouldn't a cow? What does a crying cow have to do with drinking milk, other than manipulating our emotions to believe that we are somehow hurting cows by doing so?

There's a good reason to lobby to keep the old labeling system. It's accurate! In all dairy products, fat is measured by weight. It has been for hundreds of years. It has to be, because without that number we can't accurately use dairy products in recipes, to make cheeses, or in any of a dozen other activities.

2% Milk means that the Milk is 2% fat by weight. That number has nothing to do with what percentage of nutritional fat it brings to an average 200lb white American male's 2000 calorie diet. The only deception here is of people trying to change the label of a product to scare the consumer. Ok, so we relabel Milk to "8% Milk". 8% to who? To an infant? To a 120lb black woman? To a 300lb latino guy? To a 180lb white athlete? To a pregnant woman? Dietary needs change from person to person, but milk fat content does not. 2% Milk accurately describes the product. 8% does not.

Research group you say? Interesting. And here I thought they were a PETA cover group who use a third non-profit company to funnel funds from PETA to PCRM to advance a no seafood, meat, eggs, and dairy diet under the guise of a professional medical society. Interesting how less than 5% of the members of PCRM are actual physicians. Also interesting that Ingrid Newkirk, president of PETA, is also a member of the PCRM foundation's board. Could that lead to bias? Naaaah.

The American Medical Association, 100% of whom are actual physicians, says that PCRM is a “fringe organization” that uses “unethical tactics” and is “interested in perverting medical science.”

I'm pretty sure we weren't designed to take ritalin, drive cars, ride bicycles, watch television, play guitar, eat potato chips, drink coffee, wear Halloween costumes, climb mountains, dive to the bottom of the ocean, or fly into space either. Does that mean it's bad to do these things?

Tell you what. I'll give up milk if you promise to give up all other "unnatural" foods. If it was designed by humans you can't have it. That includes most modern legumes such as peas (genetically modified for hundreds of years), most modern fruits (genetically modified over hundreds of years too. Did you know the only natural American apple is the Crab Apple?), most vegetables (Do I really have to repeat this?), and pretty much everything else we think of as delicious.

And here's some food for thought. I live in the Pacific Northwest. In order to meet my daily calcium needs, be dairy free, and eat locally, I would have to consume at least one whole salmon or tuna, a pile of sardines, or 7 to 14 cups of beans every single day. Of course, if PETA had its way, I couldn't eat the fish so 7 to 14 cups of beans it is. Or, I could just drink my 2 glasses of milk.

LOL>>> I eat chicken too...and I'm still the same fun-loving, mostly sweet natured person I've always been. Sorry...just had to say it.

Diabetes is also hereditary.... my family is a good example of it. However.... my brother has been diabetic for years and I haven't, at least so far. We eat pretty much the same diet. I've lost many aunts and uncles to diabetes. But, I've also lost as many to heart attacks or cancer. Most of which never drank milk that I was aware of...they leaned towards, coffee, pop and water most of their lives.

So... to be honest... we can't blame milk for that entirely. Or blame any one thing for that matter. It's sometimes where we live, what we do, ie: smoking, drinking ...it's pollution, it's actually everything around us that is detrimental to our health. If we all worried about one simple glass of milk, or even a drink of water in some countries... we'd do nothing but sit and worry all day and get absolutely nothing done in our life.
I'd rather not do that. I'd rather be out enjoying the sunshine if I can... another great source of Vitamin D. But that too... is hazardous to our health if we overdo. All I can say is... enjoy life... whether it's in the form of a cup or glass of milk. Whether it's being outdoors. Whether it's spending time with friends. Whether it's discussion on this board..or getting to a movie now and then.

Don't like it. I used to drink it as a kid until I hit those years when acne ruled what I ate or drank. Since then only if there is nothing else and even then I'd rather drink water although I don't like it either.

i drink a lot of milk and since i was a young child i have always like the smell of milk.

Funny...it always smells spoiled to me. My husband once held out the milk jug and ask me if it smelled bad. I told him it always smells bad to me so don't go by what I say. lol

...I also have read stuff about a link between small children drinking milk and the onset of Type 1 Diabetes.

Remember: cow's milk, is full of antibodies and immune products that are for calves, not humans. Who wants to stimulate an autoimmune disease like Type 1 Diabetes. Yikes!

Interesting. My daughter hated milk from the time she was born so wouldn't drink it. She was also diagnosed with Diabetes when she was 5 1/2. (She did get her vitamins, though - so no vitamin D defficiency :))

because we value it as being SSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOOOD!!!!!!

My Sentiment is:

:D Got Milk.....? :D

I LOVE Milk.... and it even crave it. I also eat yogurt nearly every morning and when it's not yogurt it's milk on my cereal. and as many of you have said ~Right you are~there are certain foods milk just seems to go with. :D :D :D

It's just So Udderly Scrumptious!!!! LOL!!!
