That is a very interesting point of view, however, this guy is only giving partial truths here. The hormone(called RBST) he is talking about that they give to cows, helps produce more milk, but it hasn't been shown to come through in the milk itself, also, 80% of milk in the US is not produced with that hormone. Yes, there are better sources of calcium, but 9 out of the 13 essential amino acids are found in milk. For a health fanatic he sure looks like a real figure of health. There are opposition in all things. My husband just informed me that this is a blog and not an essay, so I should stop now :)
haha. You're right the guy doesn't look like he should be talking about health.I have heard that there are certain brands of milk that you CAN buy that don't have that hormone, but I still don't feel healthy drinking it. Sterling would always get ear aches when he drank milk and I always felt mucusie and i was always coughing. So we both stopped, after doing some research of course. I don't cough anymore and Sterling hasn't had an earache since. There are a lot of other ways to get your amino acids. Such as whole grains and peanut butter, meat and eggs.
I hope I didn't offend you guys or anything, I was just putting out another perspective, I guess I am probably a little bit biased too seeing as I absolutely LOVE milk and Jeff is a dairy farmer! That is cool if you guys feel healthier not drinking it though, different things work for different people.
You are welcome to come and visit any time, just let us know, we are usually home, it would be fun to see you.
