it tastes bad and doesn't digest well because it's nasty reduced fat factory cow milk. milk from grass fed jerseys is sweeter and creamier, good all by itself. nutritionally it's a great replacement for sports drinks after workouts, and it works great on hangovers! (sounds weird but it's no lie, have a glass of milk and a banana before you fall asleep, and you'll wake up like nothing happened.)

it's true that calcium rich foods like factory skim milk won't prevent ostioperosis, but whole milk together with natural sunshine will. This is because the body needs certain fats and other nutrients like D & K in order to utilize the calcium properly.

alright, TMI, I know, i'm kind of a zealot about dairy products. but if you are interested in higher quality milk and supporting local farms, check out these sites:
