none. milk is bad for you.
A group of doctors opposed to dairy products wants the government to investigate health claims in the milk industry's "Got Milk?" advertising campaign.
The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) said it will file a petition with the Federal Trade Commission today questioning whether milk is as good for people as the ads say it is. Dr. Neal D. Barnard, president of PCRM, points out that dairy cattle rarely graze on grass any more, but are fed chemically engineered feeds and pumped full of hormones to keep them artificially inseminated. The unsanitary conditions of their stalls make a regimen of antibiotics mandatory to prevent disease.
The PCRM will ask the Federal Trade Commission to investigate whether the National Fluid Milk Processor Promotion Board, the Milk Industry Foundation, the International Dairy Foods Association, and Bozell Worldwide, Inc., an advertising agency, have disseminated scientifically unsubstantiated, purposefully deceptive, and harmful advertising. According to the doctors group, there is little or no evidence that people benefit from milk-drinking. To add insult to injury, many people are lactose intolerant and experience gastrointestinal problems from milk.
"The dairy industry continues to whitewash the dangers of cow's milk," Dr. Barnard tells USA Today. "The ubiquitous "milk mustache" campaign makes misleading claims about milk preventing osteoporosis, lowering blood pressure, and enhancing sports performance. Recent studies, including the Harvard Nurses' Health Study, have shown that milk offers no protection against broken bones. And, unlike prescription drug ads, the "mustache" ads don't reveal the many unwanted 'side-effects' of milk, among them increased risk of prostate and ovarian cancer, diabetes, obesity, and heart disease. . . "The dairy industry spends hundreds of millions of dollars promoting milk as being good for you when the evidence clearly shows it is not."

The milk ads say drink 3 - 8oz glasses. I'm not sure if that is too much. I think it is good to look at the protein vs. sugars in milks.
I drink Hood Brand Milk now as it has fewer carbs. They have 2% milkfat and also a Skim Milk Version. I think they use to also have whole milk version, although I have not seen it lately. I also watch the fat so I usually get the Skim Milk, unless I am planning to do a lot of cooking with it and then I get the 2%.
You can also get good servings of the dairy group through a large variety of cheeses, sour cream, cottage cheese, etc. look at the label to see if you are getting too much fat, protein or carbs.
So many diets out there and so many ways to do it. Main thing is less calories in, more calories spent to lose the weight.
Exercise is good to add to your routine, even if it is only walking.

3 glasses a day and skimmed or homo milk is up to your preference. I find skimmed milk taste like watered down milk.

properly....i think of no longer. we are all advised that milk & different dairy provides calcium to the physique, yet there has been a study exhibiting that individuals ingesting severe volumes of milk have an bigger danger for prostate and / or breast maximum cancers. could be a solid theory to examine this further?

None - milk is not good for you. even fat free milk is loaded with carbs, which become fat. The best substitute for milk is 1 cup of water mixed with 1 tablespoon of whey protein - 2 carbs or less brand.
