Do you drink milk?

Yes i do drink milk you know it is good for our health when drinking milk we will have to take care of the fat. Because it contains a lot of fat. If you drink a lot of milk then definitely fall ill. When you drink milk always drink milks which are boiled because the unboiled milk contains lot of virus and infections. Always it is safe to drink hot milk instead of cold milk.

thanks for passing on this information.i do drink milk daily as i like its taste and also because it is good for health.

Hey owl i always like to drink milk.

In 1992, the American Academy of Pediatricians released their statement regarding the use of whole cow's milk during infancy. The findings were published in "Pediatrics" volume 89, number 6 in June of 1992. Plainly stated, the Academy recommended that whole cow's milk and low-iron formulas not be used during the first year of life.

Infants fed whole cow's milk receive inadequate amounts of Vitamin E, iron, and essential fatty acids. They also receive excessive amounts of protein, sodium, and potassium. These levels may be too high for the infant's system to handle. Additionally, whole cow's milk protein and fat are more difficult for an infant to digest and absorb.

The most dramatic effects are on iron levels in the body. Infants fed breast milk or iron fortified formula have normal iron levels. Recent studies show infants often have depleted levels when started on cow's milk at six months of age.

Optimal nutrition in an infant involves selecting the appropriate milk source and eventually introducing the infant to solid foods. In achieving this goal, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that infants be fed breast milk or iron-fortified formula during the first twelve months of life. Between the ages of four to six months, appropriate solid foods may be added. Taking breast milk or iron-fortified formula, along with the age-appropriate solid foods and juices during the first year of life, allows for more balanced nutrition.

thank you for sharing those findings with us. I used to drink milk and eat dairy products until a chiropractor recommended that I cut dairy from my diet because it is so heavily processed and we were not really intended to drink cows milk anyone, which is much different from human milk. The fact that many countries eat very little dairy and do not have problems with low calcium is very true. So many old people in this country suffer from osteoporosis, especially women, yet these people (at least the ones I know) always drank their milk. My energy level and attitude has increased dramatically since I cut dairy from my diet. I feel so much healthier and my body feels so much happier.

i have already heard about this, in particular about the fact that milk has positive effect on children and not on adults.
instead, dairy product DO have positive effects on people of every age..
i eat at least a yogurt per day, and cheese

Hmm that's some interesting information in there!! I haven't got enough knowledge of it to know whether that is true of not, it stands to reason that it's not really natural for us to be drinking cow's milk but there must be a lot of research out there that backs up the health benefits of it, otherwise the idea that it prevents osteoporosis etc wouldn't have been around for so long. I wonder if the other nationalities get their calcium from other sources? Or perhaps their diets are just generally healthier which is why they are healthier in general?! I really don't know but it's something that i wouldn't dismiss offhand, equally though, i'm not going to stop taking my milky hot chocolate up to bed with me!! lol xxxx

i like drinking milk. i saw a piece of news that milk is for the cow not for the human, but i like it, and i think it give me more energy and protein.

Thanks for share this article. I will pay more attention to the news about milk in the future.

I definatly don't drink as much milk as I probably should be...I just don't really like the taste of milk on it's own...So lately I've been trying to eat much more cereal, and just add more milk than is actually needed, just to get some more milk into my body...

Well I think too much consumption of anything is bad. Everything should be in moderation. I still drink milk but not all the time. Soya milk is healthy though.
