I hear ya, I'm using it as an example because some people seem to think it's this amazing substance.

Why does the planet collectively change its mind on milk so much
- Thread starter Ryaaan14
- Start date
Like another poster said, it's growth formula for babies. I'm sure it's not death for adult mammals, but it seems intuitive that it wouldn't be necessary or even particularly healthy, if we're not going through some kind of infant growth spurt.
A lot of people are saying milk is not particularly healthy. SAD!
Milk is fucking gross.
Think about it...
Keep in mind, doctors know little to nothing about nutrition.

Why have I been injecting my mashed potatoes with monster all these years then
This is super disrespectful. I think u should apologize to them for saying this
The logic people use regarding "we are the only animal who drinks another animals milk" is a silly one when you consider all the other outrageous things humans eat and do that other animals don't do. Like most produce that we have is literally modified beyond belief over hundreds of years. Our ancestors have been trying to breed better produce for years, the only difference now is we have way more understanding of how to do it even better.
My man understands! We need to stop cooking food people! NO OTHER ANIMAL COOKS THEIR FOOD /s
We're the only animal who's been to the Moon and back.
That ad about milk being so good the cows want it back that had cows stalking people to their homes fucked me up as a kid.
I have something to tell you that you might want to sit down for
Be careful whom you distrust. It is through studies specially RCT that medicine advances with some degree of certainty.
Correction. Milk is recommended for all people that like it, it is a very good and complete food. Obviously positive studies can be dairy funded just like negatives studies can be "alternative milks" funded; this doesn't make the non funded by does industries fake.
I don't think wine changed much. egg did change a bit due to precaution. Here is a black and white resume on what changed in the last few years, it is a bit simplified but i think:
Wine- Most studies correlate wine with good effects and bad effects. You can easily understand why: wine is made of grapes and alcohol. Alcohol is always bad for your health while most of the grape is good for you (it is a fruit after all). SO the studies that focus on endpoints that are caused by alcohol will show wine as "bad" (like hepatic cancer and myocardiopathy) while studies that focus on the fruit benefits will show that wine is "good".
Egg - a few decades ago we found that people got cardiovascular disease (CVD) due to cholesterol. At the time most doctors assumed that any food that raised cholesterol would probably be bad for you, After all a drug that reduces cholesterol decreases the risk of a CVD. As our understanding of how cholesterol is "absorbed" into the vascular walls we began to question that knowledge, as such studies began comparing people with high cholesterol intake with those that have low cholesterol intake. The result was that most cholesterol rich foods like eggs raise both the LDL cholesterol and the HDL cholesterol in the same proportion; which meant that the risk of CVD didn't change significantly from the diet. We now know that it is the change of ratio on the LDL VS HDL cholesterol that increases the risk, and not just high values of cholesterol.
Depends on our interest of area. You don't expect a cardiologist to understand the urinary track, do you? why would you expect other non- nutrition doctors to know nutrition?
I 'm a doctor so my view might be skewed but you sound like a video game engineer should know how to build a bridge. And since they don't know how to build a bridge no engineer can build a bridge.
Also just because a doctor knows how to have a healthy diet doesn't mean he follows it. I am certain you have seen doctors smoking... do you think they don't know it is bad for their health? doctors are people too and thus are fallible to the pleasures of live, even the unhealthy ones.

I hope this becomes a thing globally, so that people who peddle fake milk can't call it by that name anymore. Let them call it juice, and watch the appeal drop like a rock.
Almond juice...
LMAO. you guys are killing me.
Animal milk is fine, it's just annoying listening to people say it's an essential part of the human diet and that your bones are going to dissolve if you don't drink a gallon a day.
I wish they changed the name. I'll still drink alternative "milks" as i enjoy them however some people do think these drinks are really alternatives to milk, which is not entirely correct. It always leads to me wasting quite a few mins to explain they are (fortified) drinks and not really milk.
I'm very confident I'm lactose intolerant, but I'll never give up cheese and ice cream and more cheese.
Always disliked milk, but enjoyed chocolate milk just fine as a kiddo.

If your stopping drinking milk cause of the environment don't start drinking almond-milk instead. Takes 920 gallons of water to make one gallon of almond-milk.
Was more referring to health studies. That misinformation has been going on for to long.... fads after fads.
The nutrition industry thrives off of pseudo science. However when the dairy industry is manufacturing machine it makes things worse.
If the food industry was a non profit industry, super foods wouldn't exist at all.

I love my goat juice.
Milk is great: high in protein and certain vitamins. All the "milk is terrible" attitude is perpetuated by fallacies of composition and generalization. For instance, "milk is full of mucous and blood," or ", babies drink milk so adults shouldn't."
It's just water, protein, fats, and sugars. Get the growth hormone free stuff if you're worried about chemicals. Get the ultra-filtered Fairlife stuff if you want it really pure. Also it's delicious.
Besides all the core science classes, such as learning how the body metabolizes proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and creates energy, my medical school had several classes on nutrition and in the hospital I talk to patients often about it. I'm not a nutritionist but I know a decent enough amount. Also, I can be a smoker and if I tell you cigarettes cause cancer it's still the truth.

This is 100% the answer. It is all about competing industries and companies marketing against each other and riding focus testing trends. It literally doesn't matter what the facts are -- it matters what is being said in the marketing.

Don't like the taste of milk so weaned myself off it as soon as I was able to make my own decisions.
Good or bad? Dunno. Seems to me nature intended cows' milk for their calves. Moreover, with all the factory farms, the practice of keeping the cows always pregnant to ensure a steady supply of milk is inhumane to me.
You can read some scientific literature about milk and IGF-1 for starters (but as always, keep an eye for industry-sponsored research or authors with links to certain industries).

No, your cat will only take it as a sign of weakness on your behalf and become the alpha of the house. You will never feel power again.
