Always wanted to find the proof that milk is bad for you...</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "Fine Hand"; text-align: left; '>I drink soy or rice milk. I have less sinus problems than I used to.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt verdana; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>I drink lots of whole milk, mainly with soy protein added to it. I am unaware of any problems.</div>

I'm not advocating dropping milk at all. It's just from my experience. Here's one guy you might enjoy reading.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt verdana; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>Had you noticed any problems before? I get most of my protein from milk, eggs and soy related stuff (soy based meat replacements, soy based powders).</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "Fine Hand"; text-align: left; '>Oh yes. All year round I used to have sinus congestion and colds every other month. Once I switched to soy and rice milk, the only time I got sinus problems was during the allergy season. And even that is nothing like I used to experience. I still put half n half in my coffee, though. Hmmmm.....</div>

<div style='font: 10pt verdana; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>Sounds like you have minor allergies to milk.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "Fine Hand"; text-align: left; '>Ya think? *winks* I gotta say, I think other people do as well, but don't know it. In America, milk is culturally a breakfast requirement.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt verdana; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>I didn't drink much milk growing up - didn't even put it on my cereal. Up until recently, the only way I'd drink it was if it was chocolate milk.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt "Cooper Black"; text-align: left; '>I currently drink, and drank all throughout my life, tons of milk *shrug*. Its skim though, not whole.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light", "Century Gothic"; text-align: left; '>Still...the links between cow's milk and children's diabiates is pretty good. Cow's milk is made for cows. Why else would there be so many lactose-intolerant people?</div>

<div style='font: 10pt verdana; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>And yes, I'm well aware that we are the only species that drinks milk into adulthood, and also the only species that drinks the milk of another species. That fact alone, however, does not mean it's bad for us.</div>
