Milk is pretty difficult for the adult body to digest. Most people can't drink that much without stomach problems because they don't have enough lactase to digest that amount of lactose.

I've heard dairy is difficult to digest. I'd recommend natural whey protein (not sure what would be good for the calories you're looking for).

A quick google search found this:

Not to be pro-milk or anything, but another side of the argument.

I don't see anything in that article that says to drink 82 oz. per day. I'm not saying milk is bad. I'm saying too much of it can give you problems.

[dms]

I'm not saying it recommends so much, but it isn't totally indigestable as some people will claim obviously (not that I don't see good points in the other article).

When you say too much can cause problems, is this something that you'll notice as an upset stomach/etc. or something else?

It's basically the same thing as lactose intolerance. People that are lactose intolerant just don't have the enzyme necessary to digest lactose. If you know anyone who's lactose intolerant, they get severe cramping, gas, diahrrea, etc. While you're not lactose intolerant as you do have the enzyme, if you drink too much for the amount of enzyme in your stomach to digest, you'll have the same symptoms.

Thanks.

How do you drink that much milk in a day without vomiting?!

Apparently my acne knowledge is out of date. There are some links between milk and acne based on a study with adolescent women. Elevated levels of IGF-1 is linked to acne based on it promoting the formation of keratinocytes, a precursor to acne. IGF-1 is rather anabolic and therefore good for building muscle, but it definitely looks like it's not so good for the acne. Milk naturally contains IGF-1, even the organic stuff.

Interesting. These are all studies from 2005+, which is right around the time I stopped paying attention to this stuff. I may need to cut back on my milk consumption.

We are the only species on the planet that regularly drinks the milk from another species. That can't be good. Milk is NOT good for you. A majority of the people in this world being lactose intolerant is not just a dumb coincidence.

AZK, I think you'll need some stronger arguments as to why milk is bad besides the whole "We are the only species that drinks other species' milk." I've always thought those types of arguments were perpetuated by paleolithic diet freaks. C'mon doc, where's the scientific support?
