Lactose is terrible for you overall...causes subcutaneous fat to be stored giving you a puffy, soft look.

Source? I've heard nothing but good things about cottage cheese and plain yogurt

Bodybuilders have avoided milk since the 70's. Some respond worse to it than others.

Cottage cheese and yogurt are fantastic. Look at the label of your cottage cheese though. 4 grams of carbs, 13 grams of protein per serving. In milk there is a much higher amount of lactose(which is a sugar, lets not forget).

You're fine if you have milk with your cereal in the morning or use it to make a shake at night. Just remember that water should be your main source of fluid and that you shouldn't rely on milk to fill that void. Moderation ftw.
