Don’t screw with my milk!!!!

I’ve been drinking 4-5 gallons of whole milk a week for the last 70 plus years and I’m just fine!

I heard that most Asians are lactose intolerant.

It’s all the wrong milk to me. I developed a food allergy to milk and dozens of other things after a flu shot at age 50.
Milk never bothered me , but the flu shot nearly killed me which triggered GB and an auto immune runaway condition that destroys my peripheral nerves.

When my in-laws moved from India to the United States

Lactose intolerance is common in Asians. Unlikely they were drinking milk in India.

Asian Indians are Caucasians. But you knew that didn’t you?

I changed to Hood Calorie Countdown when I discovered how many carbs and sugar were in skim milk. If I can’t find that, I buy cream and dilute it with water.

I drink milk from Promised Land Dairy which is 100% from Jersey cows.

Since the kids own both Guernseys and Holsteins for 4-H, maybe sometime we can do a taste test and tolerance test.

Whoa!

Science project material!

I use whole milk, lasts longer. Skim and 1% disgust me.

I am too, and I drink this stuff:

Very good in terms of low sugar as it is lactose free.

Beg pardon. I’m having a major tussle with some food allergies lately; and getting worse all the time. Allergic to gluten (wheat), lactose, and chocolate. Tummy hurts and blowing up like a balloon. - Chocolate got to where it gave me horrible honkers of a recurring headache, until I figured out what was doing it several years ago & stayed off chocolate for about 6 yrs. until I got the THEOBROMINE out of my system. Now I can have a bit of chocolate, but not a lot else the headaches start back up. When I drink milk, tummy bloats up like a balloon, same with wheat. I have some heritage wheat that’s low in gluten that I plan to try later. It’s difficult and husband doesn’t help by making fun of my bloated belly. Anyway, these things are real; and getting worse for me all the time.

Everyy time I have it checked, the doc says it’s perfect and to keep doing whatever it is I’m doing. My 93 year old mother’s doc tells her the same thing.

I do believe it’s genetic.

I don’t consider Mother Jones news a reliable source of any information.
