He was wrong. I know several people...some adults that won't drink regular milk but WILL drink chocolate. But I'll repost the quote......l "If chocolate milk is the only milk children drink, we want to be able to offer it because of the nutrition it holds ... It takes a variety of foods to get that same nutrition," said nutrition specialist Debbi Beauvais. "Research shows when chocolate milk is removed from schools, one-third of the children no longer drank milk. They don't come back and drink its white counterpart." I know from personal experience that milk consumption was responsible for lowering my immune system, i don't doubt that added vitamins and calcium can be beneficial to the body, but come on... the cows are routinely injected with growth hormones, and most are put on a diet of corn (which opens a whole other nasty can of worms), not to mention the high fat content of the drink. http://saveourbones.com/osteoporosis-milk-myth/ - this article even finds some links between milk consumption and the weakening of bones! Calcium and vitamins can be supplemented quite easily (and cost effectively). Is it better then pepsi? yes. But suggesting that regular consumption of milk is necessary or beneficial to health is silly[QUOTE="qead"] That's actually a very common misconception according to the natural path doctor my mother saw LJS9502_basic
