You're right EJ123, mucous galor, plus a dallop of cow pus. The excess production of mucous is why ANY allergies, of people who stop consuming dairy products, usually clear up (I'm not just talking about milk allergies BTW). Any plant-based "milk" is superior in nutritional value (where do these milk pushers think cows get their protein from?). Rice milk is a bit bland to me, but almond milk is to die for

D'uh. it's not rocket science. and much of your quoted facts are not good science either: they look a bit biased to me.
Yeah, those scientists at Harvard (what are they thinking proving that milk protein actually inhibits the absorption of calcium??), director of pediatrics at Johns Hopkins, the United Nations, etc, real quacks aren't they? 
And what about that Dave Scott, five time winner of the Ironman Triathlon, what's he thinking when he remained vegan & went on to win all those competitions? What a weirdo.
Where exactly did I state that all people are allergic to milk? If you want to continue to consume calcium-leaching, pus-filled, cholesterol-laden, fecal-matter, e-coli contaminated cow's milk: drink it. D'uh. It's not rocket science. I'm merely presenting the facts, take it or leave it. No one's force-feeding you w/ a metal tube down your throat as they do to geese to make foi gras, are they?

Um, if you'd actually read (not skimmed) my last post, I already addressed this BS. Okay, one last time:
I ADVOCATE ORGANIC FOODS & HAVE BEEN CLEAR IN RECOMMENDING ORGANIC SOY, SUSTAINABLY PRODUCED & NON-GMO. I DO NOT RECOMMEND NOR CONSUME SOY PRODUCED IN THE RAIN FOREST.
As for NON-ORGANIC soy, NEARLY HALF OF IT GOES TO FEED COWS & OTHER FARM ANIMALS, SO YOU SHOULD LOOK IN THE MIRROR BEFORE POINTING FINGERS. Any environmental impact of of ORGANIC soy production pales in comparison to the environmental impact of raising billions of farm animals.
I'll take the United Nation's & major universities' studies over your unsubstantiated claims, thanks.

Where did I advocate the elimination of fat from the diet? Of course we need fat in our diets, but the point is to eliminate the bad fats & increase the good fats. Fact is, cow's milk will always contain bad fats, while pure, organic soy "milk" will always contain good fats, such as omega-3 & polyunsaturated.

Hm, sounds like Taiwan is in need of some infrastructure overhaul if that's the only kind of water available to you.

Egads! First, the water & now soy! Poor Taiwan. So glad I get my food from organic & sanitary facilites in the U.S., which I've visited BTW & they smell just lovely.
Since it seems customary here to interject w/ irrelevant & puerile opinions...cow's milk taste like crap. And I should know: I live in the U.S. and the stuff is everywhere!

You mean like this?
Go ahead if you're so inclined, but I'll stick to wholesome, organic food that doesn't exploit animals, thanks.
Anyways, it's been real fun, but I'll be blocking said members as I've pretty much addressed every issue thrown at me w/ REAL, constructive facts, not half-baked claims. If y'all want to continue running around in circles, with redundant, baseless claims, like a dog chasing his tail...
