As part of my 'be more healthy but not obsessively but enough to make a difference' New Year's resolution diet thing, i have decided to make more of a conscious effort to include MILK in my daily routine.

I normally skip breakfast thus i don't buy cereal. I don't drink tea or coffee (!) so i also skip out milk there.

So, every morning i am going to have a glass (half a pint or so i guess) of milk from now on. It may not sound like a lot to you guys but to me (someone who didn't remember the taste of milk until yesterday), it is quite a step.

Do you drink a lot of milk?

^ It's good stuff!
 
I recently started eating cereal, just too introduce more milk into my diet. I tend to go through a pint per day...but I now also drink it
 
Cereal with a bit of milk very irregularly, other than that none as don't really like the flavour of it.
 
I make a concerted effort not to drink too much of it. I can drink 4-6 pints or so a day easy. I usually drink 1-2.

If you are going to drink a lot of it, drink the organic stuff. It shouldn't be quite so chock full of oestrogen. (they give oestrogen to milking cattle so they produce more milk)
 
Only a little in tea or coffee. So about a pint a week.

I don't eat cereal since it's full of sugar and heavily processed - and there's not other reason for me to use milk in day to day life.
 
Always have some in my tea, have around 3-4 cups a day to keep me going. I know its not enough though.
 
How much is too much, does anyone know? Asking because I bought some Chocolate and Strawberry milk from Co-Op and had 1 litre one day, the other one another. I used to eat cereal loads when I was in school but as i'm getting older I prefer 'heartier' meals like a proper sandwich and a cup of tea/coffee for breakfast. How much ideally would you be looking to drink per day/week?
 
Zero, a tiny bit in cooking.

Those studies are also Epidemiology studies, so don't mean a lot.
Perhaps like you people who drink lots of milk, try to be more healthy.
It's just statistics, and is only really good for pointing scientists towards doing clinical trials to try and find the mechanism taking place.

This is why daily fail has every single thing linked to causing cancer and resisting cancer at the same time, they are only a suggested link, not a found a link.
Media and public should learn what epidemiology is.

Unfortuntely once you filter out epidemiology studies, you're left with very few clinical trials and even less found underlying mechanism, to base your health on.

If been trying to find actual clinical trials on cholesterol and saturated fat recently, even with clinical trials it's a mixed bag. But there seems to be more going against the normal advice, than for.

That's not proper milk though, it's just highly processed junk from which you won't derive much/any useful nutrition.(and you criticise me for eating pure butter:rolleyes:).

Personally I avoid bottled milk in my diet because it's generally pasteurised/homogenised, these processes I believe denature/unbalance the milk, most notably digestive enzymes are killed off, hence IMO the high incidence of milk allergies/lactose intolerance.

The only truly nutritious cow's milk I believe is of the type in the link.
