Agree , its got nothing to with milk , was just responding to YOUR thread wander/waffle . just so you know , the cost of a live turtle for a dinner is quite high (higher than a good steak) so its not a question of poverty .

If you had watched the lecture before commenting you would know that babies fed with cows milk end up with lower IQs than breast fed babies

Re: Milk
 

Nothing wrong with dairy milk which is full cream milk, I have been drinking it for years and have not experienced a snotty nose because of it.
My favourite for many years was full cream Jersey milk, sadly you cant get that anymore.
Milk that has been kicked about and boiled is now the order of the day.

Re: Milk
 

I have a bit of a strange relationship with milk - if I were to drink a glass of it, when I didn't need it then the chances are it would make me feel sick. But sometimes, (not often), my body craves it and I have to have some. Usually, I have it on cereal as I'm not keen on the taste but sometimes I drink a milkshake. It must be a calcium thing - when I have some and don't need it, it's like an overload of it.

So I guess Margaret Thatcher was right and doing a public service when she stopped school milk , and the resulting rise in the national IQ can be witnessed any Friday/Saturday night in any town center :rofl38: :rofl38:

think you will find that breast fed babies in western society may have a higher IQ because they spend more time being 'nurtured' by close contact with the Mother.

Re: Milk
 

that confuses me.... children at school, drinking school milk arent usually at the age you breastfeed :confused: so wouldnt make a difference to them....

Re: Milk
 

You are lucky then in that respect.
I restrict my intake of milk because I know it will give me terrible catarrh, and if I get a bad chest, then I don't have milk at all. It seems that many of us on here have similar symptoms from ingesting milk.

I steer clear of cheese too.......and cream, well I can get away with that sometimes....I suppose it is just as well that I don't really like milk very much.
I would eat mature cheddar cheese every day if I could......I love it, but it doesn't like me.

they are still growing and going thru mental development , young children are the "canaries in the coal mine" for exposure to bad substances

Re: Milk
 

Well my two were both fed with cows milk and their IQs are at the top of the scale - Maddie especially. In fact, she's off the reading scale for young people because they stop at age 14, she's 9!!!!

Re: Milk
 

Wow - think what they might have been:D

Re: Milk
 

ok. sre margaret meant breast milk not formula (cows milk)

less chance of becoming obese in later life as well because breastfed babies leanr how to controll what they eat ealier ( please note that i said LESS chance not NO chance )

Re: Milk
 

The behaviour you talk of on a Friday and Saturday night has nothing to do with milk consumption, and I reckon, not much to do with IQ either(since the Oxbridge towns have just as much of a problem as anywhere else)....except that the alcohol abuse will result in the death of millions of brain cells of those who have over-indulged.
The behaviour to which you refer, is related to the availability and cheapness of alcohol, and of course society's acceptance of such behaviour.
Nothing at all to do with milk.

Re: Milk
 

That seems like a personal allergy problem, nothing to do with the product.

Re: Milk
 

Best thing to make from milk apart from custard n in a brew is a strawberry milkshake from McDonalds. :D As for health issues around it well sod em its natures natural food. :D
