Guest guest Posted January 14, 2011 Report Share Posted January 14, 2011 ?I enjoy occasional milk drinks, always have but I also know there is a lot of controversy over milk and has been so for the 60+ years I have been 'involved' with Natural attempts at living. However the controversy goes back longer than that and who among us has learned much about food except by observation? Not many of us would accept the thoughts a Nutritionist might give us because they are nothing more than the tools of the trade. Perhaps 'weapons' might be a better word than tools. I remember my original learning started with, and I've never forgotten, " Milk is for calves " and " mothers milk for human babies " ........not adults. Were the then old-time Naturopaths correct? Can we prove most of this kind of thinking other than by observation because we can't use analysis or studies as evidence. I would stop all dairy and high-carb foods when our children were ill but that doesn't mean these food were bad it just means we believed they were better left out of the body when the body was pumping out all that mucous and toxins with it. Obviously there are different schools of thought about this subject and as for me? I will continue to occasionally use milk and milk products except when 'under the weather' with a flu-like event or some worse condition. During our children's pre-teen years we were fortunate, so we thought, to be able to get Raw Milk in South Florida. My weakness? Chocolate Shakes. Talk about milk use. Joe C. Greetings, For many of us, raw milk from healthy 100% forage fed cows is part of our healthy eating regime. Raw milk cheese is also good. I have no idea where you learned about food, but milk can be a healthy food. It is more about how the food is raised than what you eat.
