What type does /fit/ use, and why? I usually grab Fat Free. Is there actually a compelling argument as to which milk is healthiest for you? Does it even fucking matter?

Eggs, Whey protein, cottage cheese are cheap, better obsorbing

horizon organic skim milk.

. . . because of supposed hormones in "regular" milk, I'm probably screwed no matter what I drink.

I use 2% or 1%. Skim milk burns my throat. Whole milk makes me gag. I usually just use milk for cooking or with cereal.

Goat milk.

It's much closer to human milk. This makes it much more digestible. On the other hand, the popular cow milk's molecules are much larger, having much more difficulty being absorbed by the body. This causes more allergies. People who are intolerant to a lifetime of drinking cow's milk can happily drink goat's.

raw milk.
pasteurization destroys co-factor element that allows effective nutrient absorption. calcium is retarded by the heat and likes to stick to your artery walls.

never heard the word "cofactor" used before. I've looked for raw milk, never could find, even in specialty stores. Is it damned impossible to get usually??? I'm goat-anon tonight, tell me more please.

1% is what I drink, 2% is okay too, skim tastes like water and homo is too thick.

How does goat milk taste? I haven't tried cow milk in a long while due to lactose intolerance.

I miss having milk and cereal. =(

Whole milk is pretty satisfying. The raw milk I've had tasted like a fucking cow standing in shit.

To me, almost the same. Very little difference. Others notice it more pronounced, but I the few people I tested on I can tell we're just wimping out because it was "different".

Understand clearly, it MIGHT be OK for your lactose intolerance. Now that you've been away from a long time, don't just down many quarts of any milk, take smaller amounts and pay attention for any reactions your body has.

I've got some intolerance. I used to have asthma symptoms, runny/plugged nose and throat when I used to drink too much cow milk. I never tried to bring it back to those levels, I take it easy, with the goat milk, so I'm not a perfect example. I have no problems with this setup.

Homogenized milk. Grew up drinking fresh from a cow milk, so its the right thickness/delicousness.

3.25% FTW
>> Anonymous
I drink 1% myself.
I read in Mens Health that drinking whole milk after a work out leads to a much higher degree of muscle building than without it. Im going to go and see if I can find the magazine and get the article.
Also, the hormones and stuff that are used on cows do bleed through into the milk. However, they only affect you if injected into the bloodstream, they pass harmlessly out of your system if consumed otherwise.

I cant find the article. However I did find a video on mens health TV which says that drinking whole milk boosts muscle growth 3x more than drinking skim. The only concern I have is the extra calories. I'm reading up on it now and it seems that it makes sense.

I drink raw milk. Here's why:

http://www.westonaprice.org/transition/dairy.html

I find that it taste better, healhier and doesn't make you sick like the typical n00b screams. A cool benefit too is that you don't need to drink a lot of it, since it's rich and it helps you lose weight.

I would suggest soy milk as well, but not American soy milk, since most soy grown in the States is genetically modified. Imported soymilk is best.

1,6%
0,5% is too expensive for what it offers (same taste, 20 euro cents more expensive)
3,somethin% doesn't taste good (however it's the reverse with yogurt - 1.6% sucks, 3,something is delicious)

Wait... what? Large molecules, or to be more precise, proteins don't cause allergies. Actually, they're not entirely sure what causes food allergies to develope, but there are theories. It's believed that food allergies develope when certain proteins from food products are introduced while an infant's immune system is still developing, so antibodies (IgE) are formed and the body releases histamine whenever it comes in contact with said protein and thus allergic reactions.

What's probably happening with goat milk is that there are different proteins in it than in cow milk. So say someone developes an allergy to cow milk as a baby, when they are older and their immune systems are fully developed, they can drink goat milk with no adverse effects.

There's also another theory which explains food allergies that develope later in life, which is basically the same thing as the first with the exception that it involves a point in time when the immune system is working overtime (to fight a virus or a vaccine is introduced) and antibodies might be formed against harmless food proteins at the same time.

Also, lactose intolerence is not an allergy. It's just certian people never develope the enzyme to break down the lactose in milk and can't digest it.

The lactose intolerance test is simple. Drink two full glasses of milk on an empty stomach. If you get diarrhea, you are lactose intolerant. It affects 95% of Asians, a lot of niggers, Jews, etc.

I can eat ice cream and small amounts of cheese, though. I usually drink soy milk.

goat anon here. sorry for the confusion. you're more clear-headed on this than i am. i hope you can straighten this (me) out.

it's something about the cow protein chain being so super long, the human body cannot break it down and absorb it. the chain pieces don't fit in between the cell walls for absorption. it's supposed to insanely too long for humans.

cows have like four stomachs, they can digest stuff we never could. they regurgitate forage and re-chew it (cud) for further digestion.

but goats have that too so my point is getting ... lost.

anyways the whole point this entire thread is missing is we should drink human milk for as long as possible. most stop at 6 months but we can go for 2 years. then we become intolerant of it. for some reason a cited wikipedia source says we freakishly maintain lactase.

I don't know anymore.

i think the World Health Organization recommended breastfeeding go on for years.

there was some BBC docu that followed mothers who breastfed their children for years. it stated humans loose the ability to latch on to their mother's nipple around 6 years old due to their tongue not being able to curl as it used to.

Hmm. Human...cheese...i wonder...

Is there a market for Organic, Non-pasteurized, whole, human milk? :O

You're completely right about drinking milk being freakish. We're the only creatures that drink another species milk for substanence.

Personally I don't know the different between goat milk and cow milk. I'm studying nursing and so I recently had to learn all about allergies, hence my rant earlier.

Anyway, I grew up on 2% milk my whole life and recently switched to skim milk. I think I might try goat milk some time to see what it tastes like. :)

Avoid Dairy. It's not meant for human consumption, it's meant for baby cows. This means it is super high in fat b/c that's what babies need. Our bodies can't process this which is why many people get sick from milk. Also- it's not the best source of calcium as the Dairy Association claims- the best source is leafy greens- like spinach.
