I've read somewhere that milk is only healthy for children, but not for adults. Is this true?

Answer 1

The protein in milk contains all of the essential amino acids for building or maintaining your lean body mass. Three glasses of milk provides about half the protein you need each day. When it comes to refueling after exercise, new research suggests chocolate milk can be just as effective, if not more, than traditional sports drinks. Researchers found it helps athletes recover from an intense workout and is an effective exercise recovery drink to refuel exhausted muscles - allowing for future enhanced performance. Milk contains B-vitamins such as B-12, niacin and riboflavin, which are necessary to convert food to energy for exercising muscles. One glass of milk also provides 20 percent of the phosphorus you need each day, which helps strengthen bones and generates energy in your body's cells.

Answer 2

No, not really. Adults should not drink whole milk, the fat content is too high. Also, as one other fellow said, non-organic milk is from cows pumped full of hormones. Some studies indicate that these hormones can be bad not only for little girls, but also for menopausal women or breast cancer survivors (or people with breast cancer family histories). If this applies to you, organic might be a better choice, just in case, skim or 1%.

Answer 3

Milk is not healthy for children either! Really look into it, and don't swallow the crap that the nation dairy association puts out. Soymilk is so much healthier for people. What other mammal drinks milk (and milk from another species AT THAT) past weaning?? NONE!

Answer 4

Nope. Not at all. It's an excellent source of calcium and has also been linked to many other good things... check out http://www.whymilk.com there are tons of articles about the benifits of milk for adults under the "newsroom" section.

Answer 5

Cow's milk is designed to make a 50 lb calf into a 400 lb cow!!


Much Love!!

Answer 6

Milk is good for adults as well as children.

Answer 7

No thats not true. Milk is so healthy that adults need it more than babies! With all the work that they do and stress, they really need it.

Answer 8

as an infant, we all contain a special enzyme that helps our bodies digest the lactose in milk. however, as we grow older, we start to loose that lining in or stomach and therefore adults tend to become lactose intolerant. some develope lactose intolerance sooner than others, and i happen to be one of those people. so, in a way, milk is healthier for kids than for adults.

Answer 9

No, milk helps to strength bone's at any age. also milk helps to counteract the bodies natural bone breakdown process.

Answer 10

No its not true but they are now finding that since we pump the cows up with so many antibiotics and hormones that the children drinking them also seems to mature faster, meaning little girls menstrate faster than normal.
