Have you ever heard of milk being bad for you?!
Have you ever heard of milk being bad for you?
I stumbled upon this website www.notmilk.com. It is saying that we should all do a 7-day milk detox and in doing this you will feel so much better..."That is your challenge and goal, for during that seven day
period of abstaining from all milk and dairy, one gallon of
mucus will be expelled from your kidneys, spleen, pancreas,
and other internal organs. If you still eat cheese, ice
cream, milk chocolate, and yogurt, your one-week experience
will be as if an internal fog has been dispersed from inside you"
I personally think it's a load of bull but I just wanted some more information

Showstopper: I appreciate that info but what you posted as an answer comes directly from the site that I was talking about. I would love to know if there are any other facts about this besides from a site that may be biased.

I don't know about the 'gallon of mucus being expelled from your kidneys and other organs" but read "Fast Food Nation" and cross-check your references online as well. After attending nutrition conferences and doing a *lot* of reading I refuse to drink milk here, at least in the U.S. The added growth-hormones and pus in the milk from cows who are being over-milked just makes my stomach churn. I also refuse to eat non-organic chicken or beef. It's really a matter of preference and how much you're willing to find out about what you're eating or drinking. I prefer to know what exactly is going into my food supply, no matter how dirty the truth is.
When doing research, find out who is funding the research and writing the papers. I laugh when I see all the "got milk" commercials and claims by Yoplait at how great their product (which has high fructose corn syrup and preservatives added to it) is for you. These of course are all funded by dairy companies who want you to buy their product. Calcium is good for you and be found in many things (oranges, spinach, broccoli, etc) that don't involve dairy at all.
And as the others have said, there is no reason to drink the milk from a cow when we ourselves stop drinking our mother's milk after we are weaned. The 'drinking from a lactating woman' makes me laugh because that's essentially what we are doing by packaging cow's milk...drinking from a lactating cow. Ew...

Some people are allergic to milk, they can use soya milk instead.
Before I begin to discuss the importance of not drinking cow’s milk, I ask that if anyone believes that this article is in anyway false, please fell free to do your own research and challenge this issue. I guarantee that you will not only find information that supports this article, but you will think twice before drinking milk again.
Asked what single change in the American diet would produce the greatest health benefit, Washington DC based pediatrician Russell Bunai, says “Eliminating dairy products out of the diet.”
We were raised to think of cow’s milk as a perfect food. The National Dairy Council advertises that “milk is natural” and If you don’t drink milk, the council will tell you that your bones will become brittle and your strength will fade due to a lack of calcium. Many Americans out of fear make dairy products a staple of their diets. Knowledge is a killer of fear. The more you know the less you fear. Drinking milk will not make you big and strong, nor will it prevent osteoporosis.
Cows do not drink cow’s milk. Calves stop drinking cow’s milk between the ages of six to eight months. Humans are the only species that drink the milk of another animal. You will never see a kitten drink milk from a goat, or a doe drink milk from a bear. However, we have been conditioned to think that we must drink milk from cows. We are told that we must drink milk from cows. We are told that we must drink cow’s milk for the rest of our lives. No adult animal continues to drink milk after they are weaned. We, as humans, drink milk from an adult animal that do not drink their own milk after they reach 7 months of age. Would you drink milk from lactating women? To my surprise when I ask this question, many people frown in disgust. Human milk is made for human consumption for a specific period of time. It has the appropriate nutrients dedicated to building and maintaining our bodies. After 22-24 months, humans no longer need their mother’s milk. So why are we still drinking cow’s milk as adults? Not to mention giving it to our children. Cow’s milk is meant to turn a 200-puound calf in to a 2,000-pound cow. This reason alone is why America is the leading country in the world of obesity.
The Biggest problem with cow’s milk is that the protein in the cow’s milk damages the human immune system. Amino acids, the units that make up proteins, are building blocks for all living cells. When amino acids in our food are properly broken down by the digestive system into protein, it does no harm to the immune system. Protein from milk, however, is absorbed into the blood fully indigested, provoking an immune response. Repeated exposure to these proteins disrupts normal immune functions and may eventually lead to diseases.
Here are some of the disease that milk can cause.
Crohn's Disease
Asthma
Early Sexual Maturation
Early Breast Growth
Diabetes
Breast Cancer
Colon Cancer
Leukemia
ADD or ADHD
Prostate Cancer
Osteoporosis
Arthritis
Sinuses
Autoimmune Disease
Lung Cancer
Childhood Anemia
Diarrhea & Constipation
Every child that has an ear infection drinks some form of cow’s milk. Children who are breast fed only do not have ear infections. Also know that antibiotic does not cure ear infections. The average American drinks milk and eat cheese containing new strains of bacteria, immune to the 52 different antibiotics, which are also, present in milk. Therefore, no matter how many painful shots you subject your child to…………it’s all in vain because it will not work.
If you or anyone in your family is experiencing health problems of almost any kind and dairy is apart of your diet, it makes sense to completely eliminate the dairy for at least a month and observe the results. You would be surprise at the outcome.
well i guess if you drink too much of it...
There's a big group of supporters, physicians included, who claim that humans are the only animals who never wean. Milk is for babies, actually. I'm not sure why we're so keen on it, but it tastes pretty good.
It's full of acid, that's for sure, not so good for your stomach. A lot of people are very intolerant of milk solids, which can cause terrible gas and cramping.
I'm not in that group. I'm a big fan of ice cream and cheese.
......lol every time i drink milk i go see a bathroom asp.............funny but rue my sistem is alergic to anything thats has milk so that why i use soy milk
Milk is awful for you. Not only just for it's content, but for the fact that cows are filled with so many chemicals and steroids now days to keep up with the demand, that just adds to the fact that it's bad. One thing i do in my life, i try to look at things in the purest form. What i mean by that is, what other animal on this planet drinks milk from another animal. And how many animals for that fact, drink milk after they grow old enough to fend for their own food? This is something that puzzles me. Why are we force fed these advertising campaigns to tell us to drink milk when it's not natural or good for you? GOT MILK?
It's bad for you if you are lactose intolerant!
What isn't bad for you nowadays?
