[Drinking] Cows milk

[The Clamp]

I love it, drink about a pint and a half of green top a day just on it's own. It's good for you too. But over the last few years alterna-milk has emerged. Soya, almond, oat milk etc. Do you partake of the udder or have you embraced the trendy ones? What made you change and do you feel better for it?

I predict a lot of upcoming old folk will have terribly weak bones due to the rejection of traditional cos milk.

Nothing beats cows milk. Probably my favourite non alcoholic drink

Recent research has shown that our bones don’t benefit from calcium contained in cows milk.

Mixed feelings about Milk. Lots of puss and hormones in milk apparently. I have it in moderation. Bowl of cornflakes with ice cold organic full fat milk is hard to beat though.

Love milk so much, I married a cow

What a load of old bollox. You think our bones can only be strong from calcium in cow's milk

I like gold top milk.

Me too but i won't allow myself to drink it unless.....I'm at my Gran's who has it delivered every day. She's 92 and drunk it all her life though.

Bit on cereal and tea, but pint and a half a day sounds a bit too much. Yogurt is far better for the digestive system and very easy and cheap to make. Japanese live the longest and consumer virtually no dairy at all

I think the health benefits are overstated. Too much milk is bad for your skin.

Oatly is blinding in muesli (yes, I did used to live in Hanover) and porridge. No puss, antibiotics or animal welfare guilt either. I've recently spotted Oatly 'barista' edition bu t haven't tried it in coffee. Doesn't work in tea. You just have to put up with the faux matey comments on the side of the pack.

If you drink the water in Sussex, you don’t need cows milk for calcium. The water is full of Calcium!

Used to drink cows milk but at a whim I tried goats milk. Suddenly bloating , flatulence disappeared. Make of that what you want.

Thats a thing that is losing its way the milk being delivered to the door. I think that it is down to price when most supermarkets charge about £1 for 4 pints why would you pay nearly that for 1 pint delivered. Unless as above you are old or disabled and unable to get to the supermarket easily.

Yep. The calcium carbonate levels are off the charts.

When I have a stomach upset, I become dairy intolerant for the next week or so. I get awful pains, so have soya milk for a while, until my body settles down.

I am intolerant of milk. It gives me flatulence and stomach cramps. So just a bit in tea for me. Aside from the odd soy latte, I don't really go for alternatives because I don't like them much.

Have you tried rice milk? Has a very subtle taste. I don't like the other alternatives.

No I haven't, I will give it a go.
