Type of milk you drink regularily

[shootingstar]

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.

As soon as I see soy milk with any form of sugar, no matter if it's a "natural" sugar added, I don't want to get into it. Forget it. For a daily drink, no.

from Crankin: My parents never served milk with meals, except breakfast or dessert.

Since my parents immigrated from China in the 1950's when milk and any form of dairy product was rare at that time in history in southern China (where there would be refrigeration problems in the rural areas), they obviously made a clear dietary /nutritional choice for their children: they had us drink milk daily from babyhood up. It was probably a good thing in the end for us, Crankin.

My mother did drink milk when she was pregnant with each of us, upon the doctor's advice, but afterwards she never got into it at all.

My father rarely drinks any form of milk. He will have abit in orange pekoe tea with no sugar. But he does like certain cheeses, abit of butter. It's not a daily thing for both of them. Probably couple times per month or less.

Yes of course, they like ice cream, gelatos. But not too sweet and not alot of it.

So an example where parents will make an overt lifelong nutritional decision for their children, but not for themselves.

GLC: What does goat milk taste like? Just last week at our favourite Italian gelato place, the guy had handmade goat's milk ice cream. It was nice.
