As of this week, I am no longer drinking milk or eating (most) dairy products. I cannot give up ice cream. Impossible. Cheese is no sweat because I'm not a huge fan anyway.
I did some research and it was a very easy decision for me. The more I have looked into it, the more certain I am of my decision. Any time I tell someone about my decision they spout off facts about calcium and osteoporosis. Guess what? Your facts that TV and health teachers taught you are incorrect.
More than a dozen different medical schools studied the effects of milk on osteoporosis and they found that milk was not a contributor in staving off bone disease. Calcium is EASILY found in fruits and vegetables and it's pure calcium - not filtered and pasteurized.
I'm done spouting my facts - check out more at milksucks.com

You tell them Rachel! You tell them!
Oh but what about pizza? Can you live with out that?
I fully support your no milk adventure! I do love drinking milk, but I do believe in the facts that you were saying. I wish you luck! And I did not like the B&J flavor this time, Chocolate PB swirl. I think I have learned to love chocolate brownie too much=)
Dude I totally agree. My decision was based purely off how it made me feel. I'm not lactose intolerant, but I just feel sluggish and gross everytime I drink milk or eat cheese. Therefore I had to cut them out of my diet. I get enough calcium in green vegitables. so suck it milk!
THANK YOU! i have been alone in this argument my whole life. no one believed me that i could get the same nutrients out of green veggies. geese.
