There is a lot of questions on this forum and others about milk. Here are some fact.
Not only are dairy products one of the more common foods linked to food intolerance or allergies but most dairy foods today are nutritionally worthless, the exception to this rule being dairy from raw, organic, non pasteurized sources . And even these should be limited.
Pasteurization kills off harmless and useful germs alike, and by subjecting the milk to high temperatures, destroys some nutritious constituents.
Besides destroying part of the vitamin C contained in raw milk and encouraging growth of harmful bacteria, pasteurization turns the sugar of milk, known as lactose, into beta-lactose, which is far more soluble and therefore more rapidly absorbed in the system.
Pasteurization's also makes insoluble the major part of the calcium contained in raw milk.
Pasteurization also destroys 20 percent of the iodine present in raw milk, causes constipation and generally takes from the milk its most vital qualities.
Recent figures published regarding the spread of tuberculosis by milk show, among other facts, that over a period of five years, during which time 70 children belonging to a special organization received a pint of raw milk daily, only one case of the disease occurred. During a similar period when pasteurized milk had been given, 14 cases were reported.

and therefore more difficult for the body to be absorbed when consumed? OH NOOOOOOOOOO

I do admit that milk is one of those things I'm not willing to give up yet. I've reduced my milk intake since you've made this point, but I'm still drinking at least 1-2 glasses a day. It used to be 4-5 glasses
They do help in putting on weight though.
Just curious, apart from the degradation of the carbs and micronutrients, is there any degradation of the protein/amino acids? After all, whey protein and casein protein are both extracted from pasteurized milk, no?

Any recommendations for a milk replacement ?
p.s I avoid taking supplements so no whey, etc. thanks =)I also have the same question.
Even if most of the nutrients in milk are destroyed, is the protein intake from those milk still effective?
