An October thread mainly about the Swedish study:

In a few weeks it'll be eggs again. And then coffee. And then bacon.
As Obola famously said, "Can I please just finish my waffle!?"
We’ll never get outa here alive.
Years ago I remember reading that Americans consume more calcium than almost any other nation, yet our rates of osteoporosis and such were among the highest. Clearly, something other than milk/calcium plays a part in weak bones and bone density.
Too bad. I will drink milk to my dying day if God is so kind as to provide it to me.
Whatever. I feel better when I drink milk and crappy when I don’t.
HA! I might even have TWO glasses a day now.
I got my first case of shinsplints (which is really broken bones, just not broken in a way that gets a cast) about 5 years ago. And I couldn’t shake it, and couldn’t get rid of it, and it just wouldn’t go away. Months any time I did something with impact it hurt. Then one day I started craving milk (not generally much of a milk guy, it’s mostly for cooking in my home), and I spent a couple weeks just slamming milk down, half gallon would last 2 days tops. At the end of that my legs stopped hurting, shinsplints were gone, haven’t been a problem since. Cholesterol went through the roof for a while, but that’s much less painful and not tough to cure.
So, in the words of so many developers: works on my machine.
End bovine lactic slavery now!
I like my milk and jam sammiches ....
I’m 54, and still drink that wonderful stuff as if there was a b**by attached. And, I always will.
I’ve always drank 3-5 gallons of whole milk a week, am 77 years old, and will continue to do so!
Shove your study up your back side!
The milk only works when mixed with cookies.
I don’t care. I’m still going to drink it .... in moderation, of course.
This is like coffee. One day a study comes out saying coffee is bad for you. The next day, another study says coffee is bad for you. Then another study says coffee is good for you. And on and on.
Personally, I think most of these experts don’t know what the bleep they’re talking about.
The quacks still refuse to take exercise into account properly.
Almond milk is better.
Hey, waddayouknow Bob Dole was right.
I only read the intro, have no idea what the entire article said, but I bet the milk consumption mentioned was not connected with fat free skim milk, the only kind of milk I have in my home.
Yes I am guessing it was only being discussed in relation with calcium and bone benefit.
But certainly skim milk is not bad for you, not harmful to arteries for those of us from a family with a history of heart disease
