before pasteurization many got sick . milk fever was big .

PETA is a bunch of loonies and are not to be taken seriously

I don't think milk is a murderer.

Sure, milk has killed some people. A gallon on the head of a child will kill 'em. LOL!

Seriously, what they are trying to drive at is that milk has a high fat content, and consuming too much fat is a leading cause of heart disease, which is the leading cause of death in the United States. That said, it does not kill people any more often than anything else. Moderate consumption is actually healthy for you. Provided your milk isn't poisoned and you don't drink too much of it, there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. PETA, as usual, is manipulating the statistics to push their beliefs onto others. Shame on them.

My buddy is allergic to milk. Not just lactose intolerant. Actually allergic to the point if he has anything that even contains milk, he will have an allergic reaction similar to someone who is allergic to peanuts eating something containg peanuts. So, yes, it could kill him. As far as milk being a widespread killer - don't think so.

yes -some people have anaphylactic reactions which result in death after drinking it.

Yes in the days before milk was pasteurized many diseases could be transferred from cattle to humans through milk - mostly cowpox, a form of smallpox.
