Is milk bad for health?
Well, that is a very interesting question. Read this answer when you have time as it will be long. Most people are seriously confused about milk and there is a progression of enlightenment that I would like to review. Most consumers believe it is healthy. There is no way one can comment if this belief is true or false until you probe more. Nearly all commercial pasteurized dairy (what most people refer to) is very unhealthy and should clearly be avoided. Others believe if their milk is organic all problems are solved as it is the hormones and antibiotics that are the problem. Wrong again. Pasteurization is the worst thing you can do to milk and organic pasteurized milk is just as bad as non-organic milk. When one reaches raw milk you truly have a healthy product but even there one can have different grades. Better yet would be from cows that were nearly exclusively grass-fed. Organic certification is not typically necessary in these instances as most farmers producing this type of milk

Also, there are 59 hormones NATURALLY in milk – all intended for baby cows with natural growth hormones in it – like IGF-1, which exists naturally in milk. IGF-1 has been found to increase growth of cancer in human beings. It’s important for baby cows to get this hormone because they need to grow quite a bit – but humans don’t need that kind of growth hormone and it shouldn’t be consumed in adulthood especially. Also – a cup of carrot juice has the same amount of absorbable calcium as a cup of milk – this is because milk is almost void of magnesium which hel
