Cow's milk has a lot of healthy nutrients in it, but it also has a lot of things we don't need. It was designed/created/whatever to provide a 50-pound calf enough calories and nutrition to grow to over 1500 lbs! ...
i don't think anyone is saying drink milk 24hrs a day 365 days a year (at least i'm not), in fact the context of this thread is a very specific use... milk as a RECOVERY DRINK... where the goal is pretty much the same goal as those calves... get lots of carbs and a whole protein quickly and easily into the body... perfect ratio of carbs to proteins (4:1) and in liquid form... what else could better without using an IV?
no one would suggest Cytomax, Endurox or any of those other recovery drinks as meal replacement to be taken 24/7/365 either... we are talking about a very specific use here
