Lol @ reduced fat but 22.8g (6tbsp) of sugar
Reduce fat, low fat, no fat = LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS OF SUGAR.
Wanna find a peer reviewed study, rather than just some blog post to back up your claims.. Especially one that claims milk is essentially liquid meat….
@freemoneyhunter: As soon as this article starts talking about the acid content of food I start to lose interest. This person claims that milk has a high enough protein content to cause a metabolic acidosis and thus loss of serum calcium in the urine, which is rather implausible. The average person with good renal function has no need to worry about acidic or alkaline foods - there are multiple buffers in place to regulate pH levels. Now, if a person was eating excessive amounts of animal protein in other forms (juicy steaks for example), and had absolutely no protective factors (like working kidneys, regular exercise, vitamin D from sunlight and calcium intake) then their diagram of fractures might be relevant, and even then there would be too many confounding variables to draw a useful conclusion.
Also, this person speaks of IGF1 and oestrogen as if milk is absolutely drowning in it, yet the references are both outdated and somewhat irrelevant - e.g. the results discuss people drinking up to 1 pint of milk a day, for a 10% increase in IGF1 levels, and no mention as to how significant a 10% increase actually is, outside of general statements of a link between cancer and IGF1.
The majority of the article seems to be refuting some claims made by the American dairy industry in the late 90's, which are clearly questionable anyway. It seems like you can market anything as a miracle cure in America and get away with it…Basically, whoever wrote this article seems to think milk is pure liquefied meat spiked with growth factors and oestrogen, and doesn't provide sufficient evidence to back up their claims. If you are that worried about milk, I hope you are also equally worried about sweeteners, red meats and similar trending topics that have much more significant consequences. I'd say that milk is probably the least of your worries in the era of highly processed foods galore… Don't take my word for it - I'd recommend you check the Australian Dietary Guidelines, which have much more recent and higher quality forms of evidence (a meta-analysis is far superior to a "hypothesis" by an author, as was referenced in this article). This is written by a panel of scientists using thoroughly scrutinised evidence in the interests of public health, not by a person on the internet trying to prove their own point.
There is no need to demonise any particular food group - everything can be part of a healthy diet in the right proportions!
ps: gentle reminder that it's not about the number of references or that some of them are "peer reviewed", but more about the quality of the evidence
@Kurohayabusa: Thank you for taking the time to intelligently respond, I appreciate it. I think it is true that milk is a liquid meat, it is high in saturated fat, protein and no fibre. IGF1 is problematic, it is a growth hormone which effects people and has been shown to increase cancer risk. In milk IGF1 is highly variable, I would assume IGF1 is always high in milk nowadays because of factory farming and keeping the milking cows constantly pregnant while being milked.
High protein diets (and even higher in fats) causes a number of problems, proteins are amino acids and when you consume too much meat or dairy no matter the calcium content, the body draws minerals out of the bones to buffer the high amino acid levels of the diet weakening the bones. Also the excess the protein which is very difficult for the body to process in excess (more than 15% of calories) stresses the kidneys and can cause renal failure.
Humans are not evolved to eat meat, we can tolerate when forced to and that has aided us as a species in the past in extreme and dire periods such as the ice age to survive long enough to reproduce and that was about it. The paleo diet is based on this and it is complete nonsense.
Consuming dairy contains saturated fat which rises blood cholesterol, it also contains dietary cholesterol which is absorbed by the body and increases blood cholesterol levels as well. More than 750gms of meat a week consumed creates a positive dietary cholesterol load in the body, any excess the body can not excrete goes into the arteries causing heart disease. The body makes it's own cholesterol in perfect amounts to perform the functions needed of it and when it is used up it is sent to the colon where 10% is usually reabsorbed. When you eat meat (or drink diary) which all contains high cholesterol, it builds up in the body and causes disease.
To be healthy, people must avoid dairy, saturated fat (including all oils such as olive oil which is not healthy) animal meats and processed foods, the only foods fit for human consumption are whole grain foods, fruits, beans in moderation and vegetables. Olives, nuts and fatty seeds should not be consumed.
Humans are not evolved to eat meat,
where do you come up with this 'fact', and i use air quotes there in their most sarcastic possible way
Our species wouldnt have evolved to what it became it was if it wasnt for the consumption of meatyou know how you can tell if someone is a crazy vegan? they'll post some rant on ozbargain ;)
@SBOB: Look I'm just trying to help people, statistics are 2/3rds of Australian adults are overweight or obese, 1/4 of children the same. With such shocking statistics I am morally obligated to warn people against drinking flavoured milks and things which will not help them, only make their condition worse, if only 5% of the population was obese I wouldn't worry, but it's 2/3rds…..the diet needs to change, they can't simply cut their portions to reduce caloric intake, someone is not going to only eat 1/2 a bigmac, they need to change the type of food they eat.
@freemoneyhunter: Everyone knows flavoured milk is bad for you. You were targeting milk as a whole which is very different to flavoured in terms of health. Can of coke has far less sugar in most cases.
@Clear: Yes you would be better to give a child a glass of coke than a glass of milk and I am serious about that. Giving bovine mammary fluids to children makes no sense.
@freemoneyhunter: So you're saying basically every bodybuilder and athlete is unhealthy because they eat a high protein diet? Also everyone who supplements with whey? … I don't know what to say.
stop feeding the trolls.
It has 21 references, many are peer reviewed studies.
But only linking the ones that support the author's views is certainly unbiased. Sadly the author does not use permanent DOI links.
The author mentions other authors using scare mongering, but if the author put the actual figures in, he'd be laughed at:
protein intake influences urinary calcium excretion to such an extent that for each 50g increment of protein consumed, an extra 60 mg of urinary calcium is excreted.
A single calcium supplement or one serve of dairy would balance the average (or even high) western protein intake.
Low protein intake (< 0.8 g/kg body weight/day) is often observed in patients with hip fractures. There is no evidence that high protein intake per se would be detrimental for bone mass and strength. Nevertheless, it appears reasonable to avoid very high protein diets (i. e. more than 2.0 g/kg body weight/day) when associated with low calcium intake (i. e. less than 600 mg/day).

Actually having a fracture at the moment my main contributor was me stopping eating dairy a few years ago because of the false belief in my body's inability to process it. Also, who says fractures are a bad thing? It's just a part of our lives and lifestyles.

PS.
Olives, nuts and fatty seeds should not be consumed.
Good luck in your body reaching it's Omega-3 (ALA & DHA/EPA)/etc requirements.
In a western diet, it's surprising how much of healthy bone/bone building requirements come from dairy, animals and nuts -

What are your thoughts on protein soy milk such as Vitasoy Protein Plus. Is that ok to drink?
Lol @ your math. 22.8g is about 4.5 teaspoons not 6 tablespoons.
Thanks for letting us know and being there for us.
Thanks for last night.
Thanks for highlighting this. Will avoid.
It's not all added sugar. Milk by itself has naturally occurring sugar as well even if it is reduced fat. So it's about 1-2 tablespoons of sugar added to each serve.
This is true, it's on every milk carton. Milk already contains 4-5% sugar- it's from the Breaka the cows have at bed time.
The ingredients are 96% milk, therefore the added sugar can't be more than 4%.
Feeling nostalgic seeing these. They were the go to drink at school.
The French vanilla flavour back in the 90s was the bomb
Its 3.47 to be precise?
On my catalogue anywayI logged in and the price changed to $3.10 each. Weird
Same
links don’t play nice on mobile. I had to go the long way
$3.10 In Brisbane.
Is it in store or online only deal?
go to two coles store, both are only half price instead of $2. One store refused to match/override the price of Coles online, he asked me to purchase it online, the price is online only. Another store is happy to match the online price, so I purchased 12.
sell them on gumtree for $2.50
Sell them at school for $1 each per carton
Managed to get one pack for $2 at chaddy even though it shows a $3.10 ticket. showed them the price online. They checked it then between 3 customer service reps, 1 guy decides to say it's not the same product (clearly says Breaka Long life 6pack) and has to charge $3.10. Register lady was like.. 'dw.. ill just do it for $2'
Guess it's a hit or miss.
Just got told the online store and physical stores are "totally different entities" and lady refused to match it. Lol
No Breaka in Victoria, sad life
Fairly certain I've seen it in Woolies. Also it's online for $3.10, so it has to be here somewhere!
Hmmm, I've yet to see it. I saw loads in NSW and QLD.
There is breaka in Vic
Not $2 but
Same price drop for Breaka Chocolate Flavoured long Life Milk 6x 250ml
