Type of milk you drink regularily

[shootingstar]

I'm drinking 2 litres of skim milk per wk. It's doubled in last 12 months. It shouldn't hurt me. I'm probably combining some of it incorrectly with certain things ie. tea, coffee. But I do put some in my daily oatmeal for breakfast.

What type of milk do you drink regularily?

Addendum: I apologize for putting this question in wrong section.

I must say I don't drink any kind of milk much. I used to drink soy milk, but I sort of got bored of it. I'm lactose intolerant so I can't drink milk aside from a bit in my tea or coffee.

I have to admit milk grosses me out; it's coming from a different animal (cow, goat, sheep, etc) meant for their babies.

I don't drink any, plain. Occasionally I'll make a recovery smoothie, and I often have milk on cold cereal for breakfast - I'll use hemp, rice and almond.

It is very rare that I just drink a glass of milk. It's usually mixed in with something else. This habit changed after my late teens. As a child I did drink 2 glasses of milk per day.

I did go through several years of hardly drinking any type of milk, ie. maybe averaging one-quarter of what I drink now. That was during university and first few years after graduating. I just wasn't thinking much about food and what I was eating at that time in life. As a result, I did become lactose-intolerant.

But then slid back slowly into milk, again without not thinking much about it. Hence, became more lactose-tolerant.

However if you were to offer me a glass of milk vs. glass of soda pop/soft drink after a ride: I would take milk. Pop gives me abit of gas anyway.

For instance, I can eat alot of cheese ..but I can't eat stuff with alot of butter. ie. a butter sauce doesn't help me in the washroom.
If I have 2 huge cafe au laits --again, it doesn't help in the washroom.

So the milk ingestion has to be over a course of several hrs. Not exactly like IV-drip..but you know what I mean..
For reasons, I can't explain, I haven't been attracted to drinking soy milk much. I can drink it but it doesn't interest me. (which might be surprising since I enjoy eating all sorts of naked tofu/beancurd dishes..where the taste of soy will be pronounced.)

Gotta have my 2% or whole. To me, skim milk is nasty--it's got a blue tint to it. My grandfather used to call it Blue Death.

I mix my 2+% with soy milk in my cereal.

I think the skim milk in the U.S. seems to be different than up here. I've had the milk at hotels while vacationing in the U.S. in past several years. It had a different taste quality than the skim milk brands I've had in B.C. and Ontario.

a lot of soy milk these days isn't made of just soy so it's quite palatable (just soy is GROSS!!). I'm not sure how healthy it is, though, as it does contain added sugars and flavours. I do have to admit that Silk Chocolate is SOOOOO good. Love it both cold and hot.
