What the fuck is up with me im getting serious cravings for milk

[Guest davelfc]

I like the tatste too and I miss cheese like fucking crazy, but the more I read about dairy the more I want to cut it out. Fucking hard though, it's in everything.

 

If you read everything about what we eat then you would eat nothing. I've seen some stuff about how we shouldn't eat dairy, but there's much worse out there that we do eat on a regular basis.

 

I don't think I could do without a little milk in my tea and coffee. Although I'll admit I drink very little of the stuff, I prefer cold water.

Try soya milk Simon. Cows milk is for baby cows. The amount you are drinking, the cow hormones in your body, you might grow udders..... and on that note... I just got... the weirdest boner.

[zigackly]

Milk exists for the sole purpose of encouraging cells in baby cows to grow. Putting it into an adult human body seems completely mental to me.

 

If you extended this kind of logic, you would never eat anything. Eggs are for growing baby chickens. Meat is for animals to move around in. Salads are for converting sunlight to energy. Strange way of thinking.

 

The fact that many of the human race have developed genes specifically enabling them to digest lactose suggests there was an evolutionary advantage in drinking milk at some stage.

 

The amount Simon is drinking does sound a little abnormal though.

[Guest davelfc]

'Simon' and 'abnormal' in the same sentence, I never thought I would see the day.

 

Now when he starts to do normal stuff, that's when I'm going to panic.

Pretty much the same. I try to use oat milk in porridge but if I'm having crunchy nuts or similar it ends up as normal milk.

The thing is we dont digest mill to well. We have adapted to tolerate it nothing more.

You mean?

 

 

because I'm not seeing how milk is the evil thing here...

True, but there's more bad stuff out there about meat and dairy than there is about fruit and vegetables. And it makes more sense too. The concept of drinking another species milk just seems totally wrong to me.

Not really. Vegatables don't contain hormones designed to encourage the cell growth of a different species. Milk does.

I don't seem to have any problems, but many people are lactose intolerant. The rest of us produce lactase into adult life, which exists to break down lactose. That's not tolerating it, that's using it to gain some benefit, just like when a child drinks breast milk. I can understand why people might stop taking milk if they have digestive problems, but otherwise what's the big deal?

[zigackly]

Not really. Vegatables don't contain hormones designed to encourage the cell growth of a different species. Milk does.

 

So what? What problem is this hormone causing me?

[Duff Man]

Your cells don't need to grow when you're an adult so putting something in your body designed to stimulate cell growth isn't going to do it any good. Especially something designed to encourage the cell growth of another species.

Yes I mean them nasty things. Don't pretend they are not great now and again.

[zigackly]

Your cells don't need to grow when you're an adult. So putting something in your body designed to stimulate cell growth isn't going to do it any good.

 

I asked you what problem it is causing me.

[Guest davelfc]

Exactly, like everything.

 

I don't see the downer on milk, it this a new fad?

 

I mean alcohol, that's a poison that has no benefit really on the body. High-fructose corn syrup, that replaced sugar (mainly in the states) is very bad, does the body no good at all.

 

Milk isn't going to kill us, we eat and drink all sorts of weird and wonderful things that we enjoy in moderation.

[Lee909]

It won't do you too much harm bit it's not great either, same as most things. Wheat and fructose are much worse. Having said that the amount Simon is drinking can't be good.

[Duff Man]

I asked you what problem it is causing me.

 

Erm, I never said it was.

[zigackly]

Erm, I never said it was.

 

I'm not going to stop taking it unless there's a specific problem it's causing. Not trying to be funny, you're welcome not to take milk, but I don't see a reason for me to stop.

Are you thinking what I am thinking?

 

Because if he cuts down and then his thread go more and more normal.......

[Paulie Dangerously]

Woo - is it true Chinammen can't digest dairy products properly?

[Duff Man]

I'm not going to stop taking it unless there's a specific problem it's causing. Not trying to be funny, you're welcome not to take milk, but I don't see a reason for me to stop.

 

I don't particularly care if you do or don't stop drinking it. I'm not telling others to stop.

It can cause calf injuries.

[zigackly]

I'm an anti-milk skeptic I suppose.

[Pony Princess]

If this gives you a stiffy, you've had too much milk and you are turning into a cow.
