- themarq, on 10/12/2007, -19/+209Do you eat icecream? butter?
If so then STFU, if you don't, well I feel sorry for you because those things are AWESOME. - dankoleary, on 10/12/2007, -38/+188This is some ***** PETA style propaganda. On that note, I'm off to drink a nice refreshing glass of whole cow milk.
- Roger, on 10/12/2007, -13/+163There's nothing quite like a cool, refreshing glass of skunk milk.
- waveman216, on 10/12/2007, -6/+95So how am I supposed to eat brownies and cookies now?!!
- sockpuppets, on 10/12/2007, -18/+100Soy milk is not milk. Stop calling it that.
- Phyltre, on 10/12/2007, -13/+88Why wouldn't you drink those other animals' milk? I would, I don't see the issue.
Are you suggesting we drink human milk? - Muyoso, on 10/12/2007, -28/+96Yea, this is why I drink human milk. Mmmmmm. I like it fresh squeezed.
- jpan613, on 10/12/2007, -8/+74I'd rather drink milk than read through the whole article.
- zediker, on 10/12/2007, -3/+67its soy JUICE!!! milk comes from breasts not plants!
- threeam, on 10/12/2007, -4/+66"There's no such thing as soy milk. It's soy juice. But they couldn't sell soy juice, so they called it soy milk. Because anytime you say soy juice, you actually start to gag. Know how come I know there's no such thing as soy milk? Because there's no soy titty, is there?" - Lewis Black
- hbcumber, on 10/12/2007, -16/+69I love the suggestion that drinking milk causes bedwetting!
There's enough osteoporosis in women who don't get enough calcium as teenagers as it is without this guy scaring people off a completely safe, highly nutritional drink with several hundred years worth of evidence to support its benefits. Its certainly better than taking vitamin and mineral supplements as seems to be the growing trend - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -9/+59What a quack... and I'm sure he's published peer reviewed scientific papers to back up his claims. Or maybe he can cite research from the last decade?
Inaccurate - Conwaysb0718, on 10/12/2007, -14/+63I like milk. Milk is good.
- UGM2099, on 10/12/2007, -4/+49I drink Malk, it has vitamin R.
- chimona, on 10/12/2007, -10/+44What about coconut milk? If it's milky, call it milk. Who give a *****?
- W00DR0W, on 10/12/2007, -11/+48Sounds like more PETA ***** to me. Especially considering he didn't make this a research journal like any science professional would. And what is that
"Email This Page to Someone you care about!" crap?
Anyways, mammals are all very closely related and make very similar proteins.
The truth is nothing is 100% healthy and that's why you have a liver.
(Your liver is the thing that makes up for not having a balanced diet by converting one organic molecule into another.) So basically we can handle it, it's called biodiversity. - Xanin, on 10/12/2007, -7/+42Pah, another one of those "this is bad for you" "this is good for you" stories. Soon chocolate will be bad for you again, and trans-fats will be good for you. I repeat; Pah.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+35mmm sex with 3 girls
- cricketsymphony, on 10/12/2007, -2/+29I drink milk-plus from the korova milkbar sold, it sharpens you up and makes you ready for a bit of the old ultra-violence.
- drunkjack, on 10/12/2007, -6/+34EVERYTHING IS BAD FOR YOU!
DON'T BREATHE!
NOBODY MOVE AND NOBODY GETS HURT!
Buried as lame. Can we get a Bury As FUD option? - veggiemoore, on 10/12/2007, -9/+37Reminds me of the cat milking scene in Meet the Parents.
I've got nipples, Fauker...would you milk me? - xeigen, on 10/12/2007, -6/+31Very interesting and all, but I'll still be drinking milk and eating dairy products.
- bobcrotch, on 10/12/2007, -8/+29Breast Milk > *
- zizzybaloobah, on 10/12/2007, -0/+22Actually sheep's milk and goat's milk are used throughout the world. True Romano cheese is made from sheep's milk, while chevre is from goat's milk. In fact goat's milk is supposed less allergenic than cows milk, and I've seen it for sale in our local Whole Foods (formerly Fresh Fields) store. Never seen just sheep's milk for sale though.
I imagine we don't see other animal's milk used because sheep, goats, and cattle are grazing animals -- not so much skunks, pigs, and badgers. I'm sure the cleanliness of the animal has something to do with that as well.
Cheese, I just love cheese...really I do - halik, on 10/12/2007, -8/+2920 bucks says this is some PETA garbage
- MikeCampo, on 10/12/2007, -4/+24What about badger milk? It helps build muscles, just like steroids!
- ScornForSega, on 10/12/2007, -66/+85Cow milk is for baby cows... not people.
- blahblah, on 10/12/2007, -2/+22You really want to milk this for all it's worth, don't you?
- randomboy, on 10/12/2007, -4/+24Why would you have a problem with pig milk?? I don't eat rat or skunk, but pigs and cows are nice, large, tasty and domesticated animals and dairy products are yummy and OK for you as lonk as you're not lactose intolerant. I don't give a damn about health benefits, brie tastes great, so does danish blue, feta, goat cheese and kefir and until they'll give me something that's made of soy and tastes as good ... well, I'll stick to the old ways.
- Phyltre, on 10/12/2007, -2/+21billyboobs...there's no right way to answer that question. And your name isn't helping.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -5/+24soymilk isn't all that good, it contains phytoestrogen.
u should try almond milk. i did a lot of research on both and i didn't find any negative information on almond milk. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -14/+31Thats like saying why would you eat other animals, humans are perfectly fine to eat. Milk does give me the ***** but so does beer so go figure.
- iluvatar, on 10/12/2007, -11/+31Yeah, soy milk isn't actually milk, but that's what they call it. What else are we supposed to say?
edit: juice, eh? Having a solid white juice seems stranger to me than just calling it milk. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -6/+24Drink mor Soda? But really, what doesn't cause cancer?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+20"i did a lot of research on both and i didn't find any negative information on almond milk."
It tastes like *****. That negative enough for you? - ShrimpCrackers, on 10/12/2007, -7/+24Don't get duped.... THIS DOCTOR IS A PETA & AMERICAN VEGAN SOCIETY MEMBER!
Not only will you find lots of his propaganda being featured on PETA websites, not only has he talked for various Vegan themed organizations and conferences, I actually witnessed this man speak out at a PETA rally a few years back.
Heck check out this Google search for starters:

3) MDMA.
Owned! - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -6/+20Milk is fine. Stop being stupid, people.
Just like eggs are good for you, then eggs are bad, then it's good again.
It's fine. - ucbmckee, on 10/12/2007, -2/+15Drinking milk as an adult is not 'natural', insofar as it went against original expectations of the species, but that's far from saying it's detrimental or wrong. What they fail to point out is that evolution HAS worked, at least on caucasians, to allow them to drink milk past infancy. Why would it do this? It's basically how evolution works - drinking milk for longer periods conferred a survival advantage. Rather than letting the enzyme that processes milk die off, the 'mutants' who could process it longer were healthier and had increased reproductive success.
Just because some other groups have difficulty with it does NOT mean that it's wholesale bad for everybody. Animal milk use is found in almost every culture (sheep milk, goat milk, yak milk, horse milk, etc. are all commonly consumed substances). So why don't these other groups maintain the milk processing enzyme? Well, perhaps for a host of reasons: one, drinking milk as an adult is a mutation - a statistically unlikely accident of DNA replication - which just may not have occurred for these other groups (or, perhaps, selective pressure on an existing population variance - but still, it's a statistical game), two, nutritional and sustenance needs may have been different for other groups and milk consumption may not have conferred much of a survival advantage, three, domestication habits may have been different and there may not have been easy access to animals capable of producing enough milk to provide significant contributions. Really, there could be a myriad set of reasons. None of which imply that, for those people that CAN process milk, doing so is bad.
The article is written by a non-research oriented doctor and includes clearly non-scientific methods and procedures. I'd bet he's more out to make a name for himself than to try and contribute to the canon of medical knowledge. I mean, seriously, he quotes from Utne Reader - not the Journal of the American Medical Association. With sources like that, how can we take him seriously? - merr, on 10/12/2007, -12/+24"I wouldn't drink pig milk, why do people drink cow milk? What about rat milk or skunk milk? Mmmmm..."
The milk we drink comes from dairy cows that are bred specifically for the purpose of producing milk, just like there are specific breeds of cow used for their meat. No one does that with those other animals. Your argument fails.

It is not news, it is opinion and propaganda. - elroy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+13@TheBowerbird:

- tsmithkc, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11Am I the only one that was reminded of the crazy chick on that reality show with Ron Jeremy that said she believed cows had alien DNA and that milk was cow pus? What nutters.
Milk and cheese have been common foods for thousands of years. Somehow it hasn't killed us all... yet. I'm more afraid of the chemist's wet-dream that goes into sodas and energy drinks than I am of a gallon of 2%. Things like "glycerol ester of wood rosin." What in hell is that? I think I'll stick with the cow pus. - Ramble, on 10/12/2007, -4/+15I prefer the smell of milk than the smell of *****.

Mmmm Milk! - SuperFarStucker, on 10/12/2007, -3/+13Read your own damn link.
"
And after this process [pasteurization] the milk is tested once again and must meet the
following standards: (NOTE LETTER h)

So, after all that, your answer is NONE.
