Re: Drinking milk - with or without food?

[Guest guest]

I do best when I drink milk alone. I doubt drinking milk, raw or not, would

enhance the digestion of anything... although I suppose there is an instance

of anything out there.

I particularly avoid starches with my milk. Milk and potatoes is a no-no for

me. But I also find that just about any food can give me digestive trouble

in combo with milk, such as meat, etc. However, I also find that if I drink a

small enough quantity (a glass, say), I am much less likely to have problems.

Likewise, if I drink a large enough quantity (just around a half gallon is my

limit, but sometimes a little less), especially before bed, I will get

bloated and sometimes get diarrhea.

I find that while milk is very healthful, it is still one of the things I am

most sensitive too, even raw. I can drink it and benefit from it, but I can't

drink it recklessly.

Actually, raw milk is not nearly as good for the digestion as

fermented milk products like keifer. I think even Sally says that in

general, plain ol' raw milk is inferior to a fermented product.

OTOH, sometimes a gorgeous glass of sweet raw milk is

fantastic--especially with dessert, as you point out. I consider hot

cocoa a " treat " food, but I do make it every once in awhile. Recipe:

in a large glass put a T. or 2 of cocoa, some maple syrup, and some

heavy cream. Whisk this together until smooth. Then add milk to the

glass, stirring all the while. YUMMMMM. Personally, I like this with

popcorn that has butter, salt, and nutritional yeast on it (don't ask

me why...)

Unhomoginized, pasteurized milk will be superior to regular milk, but

it should be grass fed and from heirloom cows (i.e. not holsteins).

Because buttery salty popcorn (the kind where you wipe the excess butter

and salt out of the bowl with the last few kernels) and chocolate milk are

one of the most glorious food combinations created since our tree-swinging

days ...

Naw. Peanut M & M's? Why bother with peanuts, they just distract

(detract?) from the chocolate.
