why is milk good for your body?

Answer 1

Mother's milk is the perfect food for breastfeeding infants. It contains an ideal combination of hormones, antibodies to help fight infection and illness, and everything essential to grow and be healthy.

On the other hand, cow's milk is anything but good for our bodies. It is designed to change a 50 pound calf into a 500 pound cow. Clearly humans are nothing remotely similar to cows.

Humans are the only animal that drinks milk past infancy, and then it's not even from the correct species! Too many people are still trying to defend milk's supposed health benefits. Unfortunately, they are either using old information or information obtained from research funded by the dairy association. How many people would enjoy a glass of dog's milk or rat's milk? What makes cows special?

There are only two reasons which I've found to support humans drinking cow's milk. We have grown up hearing that it's good for us and we've grown accustomed to the taste and texture. There is absolutely no nutrition that can not be obtained elsewhere, minus the negatives. Calcium seems to be the major claim for milk. It can be found elsewhere in green vegetables, almonds, and many other sources. Where do you think the cows obtain the calcium to put into the milk? Where do other larger animals (elephants, horses, deer, whales, etc) get calcium? Why we continue to drink cow's milk laced with growth hormones, antibiotics, and who knows what else is beyond me.

Since I've given up drinking milk about 5 years ago my health has greatly improved. I suffer fewer allergy problems, asthma and breathing problems are greatly reduced, I'm sleeping better, and I have more energy.

In the '50s smoking was considered harmless but now we realize its dangers. One person at a time and eventually the truth will become widely known that cow's milk is only for baby cows. Milk is indeed the perfect food, but only for infants of the proper species.

Do some research online and decide for yourself.

Answer 2

It's not really. We're brainwashed to think so by The Dairy Farmers and Food and Drug Administration.
Cow's milk is for baby cows.
We should stop drinking milk when our own mothers stop lactating for us, or we develop teeth. That's nature.
Can you think of any other animal that drinks another animal's milk? It's disgusting really.
There are so many things that contain calcium and Vitamin D other than cow's milk. The reason cow's milk has minerals in it is because they eat grass which grows from soil.
If we simply ate more greens we would be fine.

Answer 3

Milk is also a very good source of vitamin D... if you can, try to adapt to skin milk instead of whole since there's less fat in it and it's healthier.

Answer 4

It has calcium and other nutrients. It has also been shown that drinking 24 oz in 24 hours will help people that are trying to lose weight.
