[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, it means they lead their lives and make their decisions based on emotions ("theories"), rather than science, evidence and facts. They are not as smart as you think they are.[/quote]

It's hilarious that YOU'RE trying to sound smart when in fact a lot of these "theories" are scientific based studies and trials conducted over YEARS of research. Drink milk if you want but telling others that they are emotional schmucks for believing in science and case studies shows your bias.

I don't drink milk but I don't care if others do or not. There is a lot of things that others do that I consider unhealthy but it's not my business to point that out to them or make them feel small for believing the way they do. [/quote]

This. The PP is a fool. I personally still drink milk (or at least dairy products) because I like it so much, but the science is undeniable that it's full of growth hormones, and there have been links between the consumption of growth hormones and the growth of cancer.[/quote]

The American Cancer Society is not as vehement about this as you are: https://www.cancer.org/cancer/cancer-causes/recombinant-bovine-growth-hormone.html. First of all, not all milk is treated with the man-made hormone at issue, and the other hormone discussed is also present in soy and other foods. Also, as noted in the article, bovine growth hormone is not active in humans, so it won't cause our kids to become 700 lb cows.

I too do not like milk (but I love butter), and I buy our dairy from a farmer I trust to do things right by animals and humans. I'll keep following the research, but so far, I see no reason to avoid responsibly produced milk in moderation.[/quote]

I don’t disagree with your personal approach but I wouldn’t use ACS as a confident source. It’s been clear for some time that they are funded by pharmaceutical corporations and corporate food entities and they put a lot into treating rather than prevention. Prevention is cheap and often includes dietary changes that don’t promote their funding sources’ products.

For anyone interested in doing research - make sure you also account for who is funding that research and their nuanced reporting. “Follow the money” works in all levels of society.[/quote]
