Hi Tom, I agree that it is important to consider the source of the study. I have seen studies that are pro and against this topic, and most others as well. Maybe we pay attention to how our bodies respond and adjust accordingly? Personally milk works for me.

Great feedback!

I’m not sure why we should so readily believe the results of a study produced by the Dairy Council’s own researchers showing that *surprise, surprise* the Dairy Council scientists agree that dairy is good for you!

First of all, there’s not nearly enough vitamin D in milk for it to be even a moderate source. You would have to drink over 50 glasses of milk a day to get adequate vitamin D. It’s much wiser to get good sun exposure or take a vitamin D3 supplement.

http://www.vitamindcouncil.org has more information on vitamin D

Secondly, milk is not a good source of calcium. Milk is acidic once ingested by the human body and thus actually DRAINS calcium from your bones, causing osteoperosis and other disorders

One cannot just accept these published studies at face value without looking at who conducted the research and how it was done. This dairy study was not independent and has some serious flaws.

Good post, very informative. Just a few days ago my personal trainer from Carlsbad was telling me of the importance of Vitamin D in my diet.

I’ve read about milk post work-out, and it’s probably OK for that. Personally, I don’t do dairy. I’m one of those that feel if adult cows drank milk than maybe I would also. To me, milk is liquid sugar and fat. The calcium stuff is vastly over-rated. Besides the key with calcium is really to prevent loss, by healthy food choices.

I love a smoothie after a long/hard bike/run or swim session. I usually go with an apple, a banana, strawberries, yogurt and some milk. So good!
