How many of you like milk? How many glasses of milk you have in a day? I have read an article that drinking more milk is not good for health. Does any body have intolerence to milk?

Okay, first I have to talk about what milk actually does for the body. If you drink say 2-3 cups of milk per day, you're bones are going to get really strong, and if you are growing, this is excellent ONLY IF YOU EXCERSIZE. I don't mean lifting wieghts. I mean running, swimming, etc. If you are a teenager or younger and you do this, you are going to grow very healthy indeed. If you are older, you should NOT drink as much milk, because although your bones still need milk, after you hit a certain point, the extra milk you drink doesn't do any more good for your bones, and just builds as fat, so it is important to drink only a certain ammount. Yes, some people have intolerance to milk commonly known as lactose intlerance. It's like an allergic reaction to milk and all related products... Hope this helped :)

I have an intolerence to milk, it messes my stomach up. But I found this milk that is lactose free and its really good, it taste just like regular milk, you can cook with it, and it will last alot longer than regular milk in the fridge, it will last a month, I'm not kidding. I like to eat cereal, but before I couldn't eat it too much because of the lactose in it, but now I can eat it and not get all messed up. The milk is called Dairy Ease, its not soy milk, its lactose free milk....try it.

Thank you. I never knew before that lactose free milk available. Is this artificial milk or just natural milk processed to free lactose from it?

Of course.It's good for health.Usually,I just like to drink the acidophilus milk and it tastes good.When I have a cold or fall ill ,I 'll force myself to drink some pure milk that I don't like at all,which is good for my body safely.So,for our healthy body,we should drink some milk every day.But,I don't know whether it is bad for body to drink superfluous.For me,I won't drink lots of ,because it's not cheap.Haha/

I have two glasses of milk daily :P As far as I know, having milk is harmless to one's health, yet there are some people who develops some sort of allergy; I think, they have allergy with some particular brands, as today we are hardly conscious of what really constitute the commercial products that we buy :(

Dear Padmameera I think milk is good for health but you will agree that excess is anything is bad. I take chilled milk not daily occasionally. Sometimes I take milk with coffee. It is true that excess drinking of milk is bad for health. pkc3000
