Over the last decade milk has become a bit controversial. Some people say it’s a necessary and nutritious food, vital for healthy bones, but others say it can cause cancer and lead to an early death.

So who is right? And why are we drinking it anyway?

  2. how can westerners make a huge deal put of friggin milk is far beyond my asian brain
    ITS JUST MILK GOD DAMN IT!
    you drink between 0~5 glasses per week and forget about it and it 100% has health benifits

    even water and oxygen can straight up kill you in high doses so i dont think "a lot of milk can harm you" is a good argument xd

  3. The video does a great job addressing both sides of the effects of milk, however, there are a few things that need to be taken into consideration. Milk itself is not poisonous; drinking a glass of milk would not cause cancer. It is important not to overconsume anything, and in this case, milk, as drinking too much can cause cancer, not what milk contains. It is also worth pointing out that in the stores we buy pasteurized milk which is different than raw milk that comes right from the cow. Raw milk contains many bacteria that are being killed in the pasteurization process.

  4. To be clear: plant-based "milk" is not milk, per se. "Almond milk" is more marketable than "almond juice", that's all. But you're fooling yourself if you think you get the same benefits from drinking it.

  5. I don't see where you get the idea that vegetable milk uses less energy and land than the animals when the animals have lost all their land to the vegetables in the first place. And think of all the water that's used to grow that junk.

  6. It causes acne?! Fuck you milk!
    Almond milk lacks lactase. Maybe the other alternatives too.
    Also milk is produced in abundance in the US. If people stopped drinking milk it'd just get wasted as long as they still ate beef.

  7. Although this is just for me. I think milk is just good for those people who are still in the process of growing. But for those people who stop growing especially in height, it's not good anymore as the ones that will grow are the internal organs that make them enlarge. This is just based on personal opinion and experience.

  8. Thanks for this video. Much of the information is valuable and informative. Something that I would like to include is that if you actually study nutrition in cows you will find that a grain feed diet vs grass feed determines contributions to the CO2 and methane emissions. A grain-fed diet has a lower gas emission and a grass-fed diet has a much higher immission due to the fermentation process in the cow's digestive system. Therefore if you enjoy beef and milk look into the nutrition and the digestive system of the cow and understand which one you will be encouraging for greenhouse emissions. It's funny to think that those who are very worried about it believe that eating grass-fed beef will have ties to help out with this. I would encourage anyone to study the process of an animal's digestion, the nutritional chemistry of that animal, and human nutritional chemistry and biology from scholarly sources before believing a social media video.

  9. Why do adults drink milk at all?
    They would never force their mum to get pregnant and then take the baby away just to suck on her breasts for the milk o.O
    But this is exactly what they do with cows…

  10. Im positively surprised over how neutral the comment section is. I suppose these vids really do bring out the best in people (or maybe just attract the best ones, lol)

    edit: ok now im hyped for lab milk…

  11. So it causes acne and prostate cancer, two things DIRECTLY mediated by HORMONES and yet you claim it doesn't affect hormones. Okay fraud tube. Kurz is hugely over rated. Not that they even have freedom of speech in Germany in the first place. This channel could not speak truth even if it wanted to.

  12. I have this cousin, she hates milk since she was a child she never drank it, whether natrral, powdered, plant-based; if it is milk she hates it. then one day she twisted her leg and broke a bone, at the hospital I remember looking at her X-ray file, her bone was very very thin. like, I am no medical specialist but I can guess from what I learnt in high school; hers is so un-natural there is this huge layer of emptiness between her sin edge and the bone, and she is not even fat, she is very thin herself

  13. i had skin rash over the body and it was due to milk i think. i drank it daily for some time. it was even the natural bio milk. i could not figured out what caused the skin rash but i think it was the milk.
