Late to the party - what are the benefits to drinking almond milk vs. cow's milk?
OMG! Almond milk ...
- Thread starter Bluce Ree
- Start date
OMG....dont get me started! Seriously.
Cow's milk was never meant to be drunk by humans EVER. Humans are the only animal on earth who drink milk after weaning, and who drink the milk of ANOTHER SPECIES. Try to think of this:
Even baby calves, which the milk is produced for, will stop drinking milk after weaning. Lactose intolerance is a NATURAL PROCESS. It is the body forcing you off milk, and normally the enzymes which are produced to digest lactose will stop being made by age 5. People with western European ancestry may possess a genetic mutation which allows the continued digestion of milk, but that does not mean that you should be drinking it! Even drinking HUMAN milk as an adult is an unhealthy thing to do. The calcium in cow's milk cannot be assimilated by humans AT ALL, and in fact it makes the blood become acidic and the body will leach calcium out of your bones to neutralize the acid.

There is so much scientific documentation on this subject.
The US Dairy Council is the reason milk is in supermarkets being sold to unwary consumers. Milk consumption in school age children has been connected to allergies, athsma, acne, delayed puberty and premature puberty in females. It is UNNATURAL to drink cow's milk for any reason at any age. But please be curious enough to research this yourself. You will never drink it again. But dont go for soy milk either! Coconut Milk is good, but not a viable cow's milk substitute. Almond milk is the closest you are going to get, and is 100% healthy. If you have tree nut allergy, then you cant have it. But you would know by now.

OK, I bought a half gallon today (Silk original). It is good stuff.

Tarantulas produce milk? I would think that would be difficult to mass produce.

I didn't know that tarantulas lactated - let alone only in the early morning hours. You must live on a very odd farm...

I didn't think almonds lactated either, but lo and behold their milk was on the shelf in my grocery store. Go figure.
Well not all milks come from lactation. After all there is Coconut milk too.

Bat milk sounds like an awful amount of work to harvest.
I'll defer to Stoneless and Shavedape on the benefits of gerbil milk.

Did they clarify the sex of said gerbil from which they extract the milk?

Never assume when it comes to the sick minds of our members.

Milking gerbils is not so delicate at all. You round em up and throw them in a big blender. They get sliced up into tiny pieces. Then all the chunky parts are siffed out. Next is to centrifuge the liquidlike remains to seperate the more milklike fluid from the not so milklike fluid. Then it's simply a mather of a series of chemical treatments. Et voila! Gerbil milk!

You must have a lot of time on your hands.

Indeed. It takes trial and error and lots of practice to produce good gerbil milk.

What you made is gerbil goo but you're doing a fine job milking this thread for what it's worth.
