Thanks for posting articles like this. I haven't had milk in yrs other
than a bit in coffee/tea occasionally. My mother, who was head of the
nursing program at a college where we were raised told us as children "you
shouldn't be drinking milk". At that time this was against everything being
taught(50's). Her thinking wasn't due to the chemicals we now have in our
milk, but she believed that no one should have milk after they are weaned.
No other mammal after weaning goes back for a drink... why should humans.
This, among other believes, certainly put her ahead of the times. The
problem now, I have a teenage son, whom I raised the same way who wants milk
daily. I conveniently run out occasionlly (mean mom) but I also send/print
him articles like the one you posted... hopefully it will sink in. I do put
CS in the milk... FWIW.
