Yep. I stopped drinking this vile liquid like when I was 10. Can't keep it down.

People still drink milk? I think it's gross and can't drink it.

She's wrong about the fat. But also can step off with that vulgar attitude.

I digest milk perfectly well, though I drink less as I get older. I can't throw back a quart anymore. Some members of my family do well with it, some do not.

I have an uncle who drinks one gallon of whole milk every day in his coffee. I'm surprised he is still alive.

Maybe once or twice a month. I'll indulge in a couple glasses of real whole dairy milk. Any more we use almond milk or soy.

I'm not going to indulge the author with a click, but I drink milk more often than any other liquid. Yum.

Bullshit. Just because half the population genetically can't process lactose, doesn't mean I shouldn't enjoy being the other half.
I can't endure as much sunshine as Africans. Does that mean I should demand they stay indoors?
I'm enjoying a glass of goat milk right now.

I definitely did not appreciate the tone of the writing, but we do limit our milk intake.... At this point, I think we use cow milk more in cooking that anything else.... I have cereal more often than my husband, but I only use almond milk for that....
But I do agree that grown adults don't really need to take in a lot of cow's milk...

Brian Hunt Don't need to avoid milk to keep cholesterol down. Just need some fiber, like my near-daily oatmeal; a tiny bit soaks it right up.

I'm not one to post Jezebel​ articles, but I thought this one was fun and, while many of you didn't care for the tone of the writing, I found it's tone pleasantly sardonic. It's Jezebel, for crying out loud, not a health magazine. So, I read it as I'd read an Onion article.

I want to meet the girl who wrote this though. She'd probably be fun to talk to.

Bryce Miller​, where does one find goats milk? I buy goat cheese now and again, but haven't found the milk anywhere.

Gary F​, what's bubble tea?

Gary F I hate it when a drink comes with boba.
Jason ON I got it from a goat, but very common now to have a small inventory at the grocer.

Humans should not consume cow's milk at all, ever. Only baby cows should have cow's milk. Baby humans should consume milk produced by other humans, preferably the female kind. I'd also have no issue with adult humans consuming human breast milk.

In fact there was a place, in the UK I believe, that was preparing to produce and sell ice cream made from human breast milk, but it was stopped by the authorities over contamination & sanitation concerns... Meanwhile dairy cows on factory farms are pumped full of hormones & antibiotics directly due to being forced to exist in completely unsanitary conditions. It's a fucking mad world.

Paul M Edwards maybe you shouldn't tell people what kind of milk they should drink, "ever". Animals can be raised in sanitary conditions without antibiotics and hormones.

Bryce Miller maybe you should get over the offense of the manner in which the information was presented and review some articles actually based on real scientific research. You will then discover for yourself that there is truth and merit behind the suggestion that humans should not ever drink milk from cows.

Paul M Edwards I don't eat cow. There is a much more convincing set of arguments on why not to eat them vs their milk. Do you apply the same scrutiny to consumption of thier meat? There are reasons some of my ancestors evolved the ability to drink milk.

Paul M Edwards said…
Bryce Miller I agree and in fact I don't eat much beef at all.

Perhaps you would agree that while humans do have the ability to adapt to environmental and lifestyle changes over time, that doesn't necessarily make those adaptations optimal for health.

Thanks Gary F​. I'm fairly certain I'll spend the rest of my life trying to avoid it.

"You're probably already eating other foods with a high saturated fat content like ice cream and cheese. Do you really want to waste your saturated fat consumption on something as stupid and lame as milk? At least get your priorities in order and eat something that makes the risk of heart disease worth it like an entire wheel of brie."

What does she think ice cream and cheese are made from?

Even ignoring the tone which I assume was an attempt at being amusing, I think this article is nonsense.

So, Minnesota would rather people not be able to advance themselves without the officiating organization paying a fee, first? Do libraries have to pay a fee to lend books? Do documentaries put together by universities have to pay a fee first? If I move into the state and give away old college text books, do I have to pay a fee first? http://www.forbes.com/sites/evapereira/2012/10/19/minnesota-bans-free-online-education/
