The reason I drink almond milk and soy milk instead….
Woah…I really need to stop drinking milk so much.
Milk has a lot of things that we need, and for the people who aren’t lactose intolerant, milk is healthy in moderate quantity. 1-3 glasses a day is fine. On a daily basis we need vitamin D, calcium and fluor, which can all be found in milk.
Yes, over-consumption has to stop as it’s not good for people or animals, but this post will make some people turn away from milk completely, which shouldn’t be necessary.
In Sweden only about 14% of people are lactose intolerant, while in the USA it’s about 40% (according to another source. 33% according to this post), and trust me when I tell you that we Swedes drink a shit-ton of milk, ok? I don’t know if the difference is within the people or within the product, but I’m sorta leaning towards the latter…
I have no opinion on the other numbers and percentages shown. I honestly don’t doubt that over-consumption is bad and very unhealthy, but as this post seems very biased towards “MILK IS THE ENEMY” I’m not going to buy it completely. (Gimme a few years and I might come around.) But yes, folks, be very careful with what you consume.
There. My opinion is out on tumblr. I might be dead tomorrow. It was nice knowing you guys.
