Humans have been drinking it for thousands of years. When I competed in Nordic XC, I'd drink two 12 oz. glasses of whole milk with breakfast and more during the day. It's good stuff. Don't worry about it.

The ranters are ranters. The unpopularity of their views with the general populace only encourages them, because if most people don't believe it, that proves they're right. Notice that most of the experienced top cyclists who used to post here have left this forum. This is a common pattern that has persisted ever since the early bulletin boards and unmoderated email lists. And unfortunately, there is nothing to be done about it. Eventually such BBs and lists empty out except for the ranters, who may continue talking to each other for all eternity for all we know.
