OK FRED, I checked my facts. You are right. Milk sugar is lactose. And the web site concerning the evils of milk is www.milksucks. The section on the pus content in milk is quite interesting.I hope everyone will reexamine their learning and study the concept that cows milk is ment for baby cows and not for you. They taught me in school that milk is good for me. And as we all know, everything they teach in public school is(not)perfect knowledge. Perhaps what they told you about milk is wrong. Study the facts, make your own decision.

No 38sw, What I tried to say is that milk sugar for humans over the age of 3 years is not digestable. Now then, if you want to recieve an education about the evils of milk you may want to study the web site, www.milksucks.com The part about the pus content in milk is qiute interesting. Just because the public school system said you should drink milk does that mean you should?

DRINK GOATS MILK!

The whole milk thing is probably a "nasty fat" issue. Goats milk is more digestible, the fat molecule is smaller. Unfortunately, the goats milk you can buy in the store tastes like crap. Now fresh milk from our goats - yummmmm, especially goes great with chocolate and you know those fudge covered wafer cookies.......what were we talking about again???

Shamless promotion of goats milk -

-Nutrient content of goat milk is slightly less than cow milk but goat milk is more digestible because the fat molecules are one-fifth the size of those from cow milk -- making it easily tolerated by those with compromised digestive systems.

- Seventy-two percent of the milk used throughout the world is from goats. It is one-third richer than cows milk but more nourishing and easier to digest.

- The flavor of goat milk is comparable to that of cow milk. Goat milk has a milder taste.

- Goat milk has no cream separation because of smaller fat molecules.

- Goat milk contains pre-formed Vitamin A in the milk fat that allows it to be readily available for use by the body.

- Goats milk contains a more highly-evolved cholesterol than cows milk, making it more available for absorption to the brain and body. (Cholesterol is essential to the health of the myelin sheaths "white matter" of the nerves in the brain.)

- Goat milk is closer to human milk and is therefore easily accepted especially by those young or frail.

- Goat milk has an alkaline reaction the same as mother's milk. Cow milk has an acid reaction

- Goat milk does not form mucous (phlegm) and is therefore better tolerated by asthmatics and those with allergies.

- Goat milk contains more chlorine, fluorine and silicon than any other domestic livestock. Chlorine and fluorine are natural germicides and fluorine assists in preventing diabetes.

- Goat milk contains 2% curd, which precipitates in the stomach. Cows milk is 10% curd.

- Goats are naturally immune to diseases, such as tuberculosis, and are used in third-world countries to actually cure tuberculosis because of their inherent antibodies.

- Goats milk is tolerated by a compromised /damaged liver because of the smaller fat molecules and it's naturally homogenized.

- Goats milk has the ability to "sweeten" the intestinal tract and assist with constipation.

- Goats milk contains a higher evolved carotene (pro-Vitamin A). Researchers have found this to have cancer preventing properties.

Thank you. While the link you provided does not work, it doesn't matter because your heart was in the right place when you provided it to us and that's what counts. Facts are for the uncaring.

Big deal.

The article even says that it will have whole milk for those who request it. Or if you are shy about asking, and want your kids to have whole milk at school, then send in a thermos of it. The school is supplying the best meal that it knows how to, but they're not forcing anyone to eat it.

You really think it's going help fight obesity? I think it's a typical do-nothing, feel-good thing our know-nothing educrats like to cook up at taxpayer-funded symposiums.

I never claimed that it would or wouldn't. Nothing in my post even suggested such a claim. Frankly, I don't know.

But I did claim that if you want your child to have whole milk at school, then you can either request it, or send in a thermos of it.

This is not a big deal. Call up the school cafeteria. Say "I'd like Tribune7 Jr to have whole milk at lunch". Then they will say "ok". End of problem.

Been drinking milk daily for almost 44 years, with no ill effects. I think that anti-milk web site is just a little biased. Any relation to PETA?

BTW, I don't drink it because the public school system says that I should. I drink it because it is a good convenient source of vitamin D, Calcium, and protein. And it tastes pretty good, especially if I throw a little chocolate-flavored powder in there.

MMMmmmmm!!! Got Milk?

Around my community the majority of the children in the public schools are lactose intolerant. Seems to me the "system" should accommodate the needs of the majority at a minimum.

It may be different where you live.

This is all a good reason for local control of schools.

They want to cut out the fat in whole milk, yet, in our school district they offer "orange drink" and lemonaide - they are nothing but sugared water...... so it's ok for the kids to drink sugar at lunch, but not whole milk......

Where do they get these ideas?

That's odd. Its common, but nowhere near a majority in most places.

You don't want the kids to get clogged arteries do you? You'd have to install defib machines all over the school.

With all of the so called over crowding, we could use the cafeteria for additional class space.

When my elementary experienced overcrowding in the late seventies, they stopped using the gymnasium as a lunchroom, and we ate at our desks. The gym remained empty during the lunchtime hour, but... it wasn't a very big gym to begin with.

You are right - a sugar high is so much better for those kids on Ritalin......

And, believe it or not, my daugher's school does have a de-fib machine..... I think many schools have them now.....

My sister-in-law whose family history involved severe obesity, put my four month old nephew on skim milk. He wasn't allowed to drink whole milk. Seventeen years later, he is a big boy, very stocky and strong... just what his mother wanted to avoid. She never understood that our genetic makeup determines the general size that we are, not whether or not we drink whole milk. (Dumb woman.)
