Is Milk Bad For You? What 30 Studies Have to Say

Published: Feb. 20, 2019, 2 p.m.

For years, milk has been touted as one of the healthiest foods you can eat.\xa0

It\u2019s packed full of protein, calcium, and other nutrients, and it\u2019s delicious to boot.\xa0

It\u2019s also hugely popular among bodybuilders and people just generally interested in improving their body composition.

If you go asking around the gym for the best way to gain muscle and strength as quickly as possible, it won\u2019t take long until you\u2019re told to just lift heavy weights and drink a gallon of milk per day.

(The heavy weightlifting is a great idea, but the \u201cGOMAD\u201d? Not so much\u2026)

Recently, though, milk has come under heavy fire from the health \u201cgurus\u201d of the world who not only question its nutritional value, but go as far as labeling it a poison responsible for all kinds of disease and dysfunction.

Drink milk, they say, and thanks to the lactose, pus, blood, hormones, and other \u201cunhealthy\u201d substances it contains, you\u2019ll be more likely to gain weight, weaken your bones, and even get cancer and die.

Many of the people making these arguments seem to have logic and science on their sides, too.

Maybe they\u2019re right? Maybe milk isn\u2019t all it\u2019s cracked up to be? Maybe we\u2019d all be better off without it?

Well, as you\u2019ll soon see, although the case against milk can be made to sound convincing, it\u2019s based on trumped up charges.

When you analyze the bulk of the research, which we\u2019re going to do in this podcast, the takeaway is clear:

Milk is not a magic bullet for bone health, muscle gain, or general wellbeing, but it doesn\u2019t deserve condemnation, either, and you probably don\u2019t need to stop drinking it.
