It is so, .... thanks muchly for the article. Another protein difficult for the human in milk is the caso-morphine molecule: has a similar action as the morphine molecule: addicting, mentally & emotionally depressive, contributes to physical lethargy...that type of stuff. Sunny

No it was not decidedly anti-milk. It simply looked at the hypothesis, but it did not refute it either. After I eat lunch, at least 3 days per week I drink a quart of chocolate milk while driving back to work. I am a milk fan, but so far I have no found one study that was decidedly positive for milk - however the only things I have yet done searches on at the Nat Library of Medicine is in regards to heart attacks and cancer. I think there are some positive ones I will find about losing weight and bone health. I was surprised there was no studies to be found of the 15 million+ in regards to positive effects on colon cancer - since calcium reduces the risk of colon cancer. I am going to keep looking - I feel I have to singlehandedly keep a dairy industry alive by swigging down quart after quart of the pus laden milk Mr. Cohen is so virulent about. The nice thing is, with all the positive benefits I read of HGH and anti-aging, I am hoping I will reap all the same benefits by drinking milk chock full of BGH - maybe I should inject it instead of drinking it to get the real benefits of bovine growth hormone...? I am hoping to still turn up LOTS of positive studies on milk.
