Re: Nonsense does not belong in this thread
There is not a consensus on whether or not cow's milk is generally healthy or generally not healthy. With respects to what your opening post outlined, there are a number of issues that could be concerning to humans -- mostly growth hormones. And the rise in lactose intolerance is another instance that may point to problems.
But you can be sure that there is no smoking gun that would medically link cow's milk to any serious aliment in human beings. Nicotene has a smoking gun linking it to the proliferation of cancer cells within the human body.
We eat eggs but so do lots of animals(crocs, birds and lots of mammals).
We eat beaf but so do large preditors.
We eat asparagus but so do sharks and dolphins.
We humans drink cow's milk but so do ...
PLEASE finish the sentence.
Okay, this comment is baseless as far as it could be considered a defense of your initial proposition. Those animals you outlined are also too stupid to drink cow's milk, so it is pretty much pointless to mention that, because they don't, that it must some how be evidence that we are not supposed to be drinking it. By what cosmic rule does it violate?
Mankind has been using animals to feed us and to make jobs easier for as long as history has been around. While it is reasonable to question the ethics of it, and legitimate to question whether or not there are any actual health benefits or risks associated with it, this comment does not qualify.

Which rise would that be?
In how many people have problems digesting dairy products.

Re: Nonsense does not belong in this thread
Before you continue to try and tar and feather me, bear in mind that I am not in favor of Agobots ideas. I am simply allowing him the courtesy to express his points.
Just days before he posted this information, my pediatrician was telling me all about the silent horrors of milk, and recommended that I not give cows milk to my children any longer, claiming that cows milk does not produce useful calcium for things like osteoporosis, but is actually the cause of it.
All the other doctors in her office felt the same. It became apparent, however, that she is a vegan and so are the other doctors in the office. So go figure that they are spreading propaganda about how atrocious milk and meat is.
This is indicative of an evolved human trait to be more tolerant of lactose over time, not less.
Then why are so many Americans, in the hundreds of thousands, lactose intolerant? These are people around dairy all the time. That's because it is genetic and has nothing to do with anything else.
