Good goddamn. This is some Doctor Oz-level bullshit. Milk is actually good for you, provided you don't have an intolerance to lactose, or some other dairy-related issue.

I know this is going to irk some people, but Jezebel does have, on occasion, some reasonable stuff. Shit like this is why I stopped reading Yahoo news, and why I have a hard time reading anything on the Jezebel side of things.

It's also why, around 15 or so, my mom forbade my whole family from drinking milk and I had the first teeth related issues of my entire life. Because some quack on Oprah said that milk was poisonous to the human body.

I'm 48 years old. I just drank a glass of milk after my salty chip snack. It was cold and delicious.

10/10 will drink again

I can't drink dairy milk because of all this stuff, I can't drink almond milk because it takes too much water to produce, I can't drink soy milk because it has too much estrogen—fuck this.

I feel really, really bad for you. No sarcasm. That's just the worst thing.

"I'm lactose intolerant, so no one should drink milk."

pretty much. It's like the "since I'm on a diet you're not allowed to eat donuts" reasoning.

Hmph. Well I'm glad I'm in the 40% who can still digest the stuff. Sure, there are a lot of lactose intolerant people. But the rest of it.... everything is okay in moderation. To my knowledge Milk is still on the FDA dairy list of healthy choices.

Ha it's nbd, I drink all that stuff anyways—it's delicious!

Except the soy milk. The estrogen thing is kind of messed up, plus almond milk tastes way better.

That's pretty much what I got out of that blog post (I refuse to call anything on this series of websites an article...)

+1 Almond milk is one of my favorite drinks. If people ever stop making it because of it's resource intensive production, I will make my own.

I don't drink milk, but I started using almond milk on my Cheerios in the morning, and I think it's excellent! It also lasts a lot longer than milk.

yeah that article really does come across as one persons opinion that everyone must follow, another example

Point: It's gross.

I think milk tastes great though I'm lactose intolerant so have milk without it, cannot give it up as I love tea and you can't have a good cuppa without milk

Jezzie logic at it's finest. But if they had logic chips, they'd be over here dragoning wagons with us.

There's nothing logical about diesel rotary wagons

I was frothing at the mouth reading it. So if I'm someone that ISN'T a lactose intolerant person that enjoys it, I should stop, because you don't like it. Gotcha.

I actually like that milk makes me feel more full during a meal than drinking water.

Yeah, but that's Jez; you kind of expect some oddness. How the hell did fuckwittery like this wind up on Gizmodo?

I was scrolling down Oppo and saw this while drinking milk. I almost choked!

I sure do know a whole helluva lot of 40%ers

Also try prying the milk from my hands. I drink it with zero ill effects. I do so for my own enjoyment, I do so because it Tastes Great and is Less Filling, and I do so to piss off my wife who longs to be able to drink the stuff
