For years and years now there has been scientific literature linking certain cancers and milk or dairy consumption. Research on the possible detrimental effects of drinking cow's milk is extensive. I also know that some newer studies show that many of our worries about drinking cow's milk may be unfounded. But questions still need to be asked. See:
Parodi PW. Dairy product consumption and the risk of breast cancer. J Am Coll Nutr. 2005 Dec;24(6 Suppl):556S-68S.
Yanagi S et al. Comparative effects of milk, yogurt, butter, and margarine on mammary tumorigenesis induced by 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene in rats. Cancer Detect Prev. 1994;18(6):415-20.
Hawkins RA, Thomson ML, Killen E. Oestrone sulphate, adipose tissue, and breast cancer. Breast Cancer Res Treat. 1985;6(1):75-87.
Wuthrich B, Schmid A, Walther B, Sieber R. Milk consumption does not lead to mucus production or occurrence of asthma. J Am Coll Nutr. 2005 Dec;24(6 Suppl):547S-55S.
Researchers have indeed found many bad effects from drinking cow's milk, and many effects that need to be further investigated:
Udall JN Jr, Suskind RM. Cow's milk versus formula in older infants: consequences for human nutrition. Acta Paediatr Suppl. 1999 Aug;88(430):61-7. Review.
For example, we know that there is an autoimmunity in people with Type 1 diabetes (beta-cell specific autoimmunity). But we do not know the cause of it. Finnish researchers have been looking at cow's milk. See:
Vaarala O, Paronen J, Otonkoski T, Akerblom HK. Cow milk feeding induces antibodies to insulin in children--a link between cow milk and insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus? Scand J Immunol. 1998 Feb;47(2):131-5.
Saarinen KM, Juntunen-Backman K, Jarvenpaa AL, Klemetti P, Kuitunen P, Lope L, Renlund M, Siivola M, Vaarala O, Savilahti E. Breast-feeding and the development of cows' milk protein allergy. Adv Exp Med Biol. 2000;478:121-30.
Vaarala O. Is type 1 diabetes a disease of the gut immune system triggered by cow's milk insulin? Adv Exp Med Biol. 2005;569:151-6. Review.
A possibly underdiagnosed and often misdiagnosed diesease is Heiner Syndrome (a food hypersensitivity pulmonary disease), another example. See:
Moissidis I, Chaidaroon D, Vichyanond P, Bahna SL.Milk-induced pulmonary disease in infants (Heiner syndrome). Pediatr Allergy Immunol. 2005 Sep;16(6):545-52.
We also have possible increased cancer risk later in life from drinking cow's milk at an early age and early DNA damage:
Dundaroz R, Ulucan H, Aydin HI, Gungor T, Baltaci V, Denli M, Sanisoglu Y. Analysis of DNA damage using the comet assay in infants fed cow's milk. Biol Neonate. 2003;84(2):135-41.
My problem with milk, and let's be specific here, "doc", American cow's milk, is the injection of bovine growth hormone (rBGH) into it, a practice that is "not recommended" in the industry, yet is practiced routinely because it is so proftable for dairy producers. If you understood the built-in conflicts of interest at the FDA (read: Monsanto employees), then you might begin to see the light. It's a more serious issue than you think, and there are a lot of politics going on.
Now let me ask you a question, Spoc. Why is it that European nations and Canada have banned rBGH?

and where did that cave man comment come from?? it turns out that individuals who come from areas of the world that didn't domesticate cows are in general lactose intolerant just like all other adult mammals including adult cows (coincidence i guess??)... and a certain small percent of people who live in areas where cows were domesticated are also lactose intolerant... just like a certain small percent who are wheat intolerant etc., etc. as i said above it doesn't then follow that all the rest of us must not eat those foodstuffs because a certain small percentage of us can't.
and there IS variability in the human race... some in tropical regions of the world produce more melanin and have dark skin, some less, some not at all (albino)... some in the arctic had adapted to surviving with the majority of their diet being fat and meat... and some have adapted to drink milk... in all cases just by increasing, reducing, turning on and off, or leaving on in the case of lactase production of a protein.. it doesn't mean that any of us is a cave man because we have toggle the settings of a few proteins in order to be better adaped to our environments.

For others, it's just a bad idea. I have done a little research on the topic, contrary to your pretentions

Just because some people have adapted to drinking milk as adults does not mean it's good for your body. Over the past few hundred years, humans have dramatically increased their ability to process alcohol, too, but I don't see anyone saying that we should be drinking alcohol to be healthy. 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! And now it has all these chemicals in order to profit the farmers, not the consumers. I'll say "no thanks" and take the Silk chocolate soy milk any day. But drink what you want, you're right that the harm being caused is hard to see due to 75+ year life expectancies.
There are good reasons why the organic milk/meat/whatever costs 2+ times as much as the chemically altered stuff. Why do you think 10k gold costs so much less than 18k gold? It's filled with a bunch of crap that is not gold!
There are many other sides of why adult milk drinking is not so good. We're simply looking at what is good for us nutritionally (Americans for the most part). The other factors deal with what is good for the environment, the animals, and people as a whole. Those are better left for a vegetarian or vegan thread.

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

Seems soy has dark side as well.. with 90% of it being produced from genetically modified soy beans from large multi-national companies like Monsanto with enormous economic incentives for pushing soy, it's estrogen mimicking effects and other hormone imbalance problems, potential increase in certain kinds of cancers and a slew of other potential problems... the more one digs the better and better cow's milk is looking when compared to soy... but that is probably the case for all foods... the more you look the more wrong you are going to find wrong with it

Silk soy products are 100% organic.
According to your article, Japanese consume 30 times the soy as Americans. According to the WHO, Japanese smoking rate is about 2 times that of Americans. Yet the overall cancer rate is much lower amongst the Japanese, and their life expectancy is about 10% longer than that of Americans.
Besides, someone who uses the sentence: "it is child abuse to feed a baby soy formula" as a stand-alone paragraph gets about as much credit from me as "Dr." Mercola.

- btw, to really throw some [giggle] fodder into this fray, here are the USDA acceptable insect and rodent contamination levels for pasta products:
MACARONI AND NOODLE PRODUCTS
Insect filth
(AOAC 969.41) Average of 225 insect fragments or more per 225 grams in 6 or more subsamples
Rodent filth
(AOAC 969.41) Average of 4.5 rodent hairs or more per 225 grams in 6 or more subsamples
DEFECT SOURCE: Insect fragments - preharvest and/or post harvest and/or processing infestation. Rodent hair - post harvest and/or processing contamination with animal hair or excreta
SIGNIFICANCE: Aesthetic
- bon apetit and enjoy your pasta!
SOURCE: USDA Food Defect Action Levels - 1995 Handbook

so guess you are just going to skip conveniently skip over this section "...Japanese, and Asians in general, have much higher rates of other types of cancer, particularly cancer of the esophagus, stomach, liver and pancreas.(8) Asians throughout the world also have high rates of thyroid cancer..."
i guess the cancers that are lower for the Japanese are directly attributable to soy intake because that is the only difference between Asian and Western or N. American diets? so are the rates of lower of esophagus, stomach, liver and pancreas cancers in the west directly related to our milk intake? OR is it that it is the soy causes the higher rates of esophagus, stomach, liver and pancreas cancers in Asia? Diets in Asia and Europe and N. America differ in more than just intake of soy... pretty simplistic and self severing to the soy industry to say, well these lower rates in a few forms of cancer is as a direct result of soy intake isn't it?
and the child abuse paragraph... lots of sites I'm looking at, even the pro soy ones are not recommending soy for infants (strictly 1 year +)

Hey, DocSpoc, what a can of worms opened up here, eh? For me, as an athlete, chocolate milkfat is bad fat. Fat isn't a good thing to consume in the first hour after a workout, no matter what Nancy Clark, MS, RD (not PhD) says (she's on record for saying white bread is good for you). The biological value of milk protein (caseins) isn't as high as pure whey (what's left after you centrifuge the caseins out of milk). Pretty simple stuff, really.

fat content is a legit issue, but 2% chocolate milk only has 5g of fat of which only 3g are saturated fats, but if you don't want the fat you can just drink skim chocolate milk like AndyGrow... it actually has less fat and less staturated fat than soy milk
per 1 Cup / 250 ml
Soy Choc:
Fat = 5g (7% DV), sat fat = 1g (3% DV)
Skim Milk Choc: (Starbucks actually 12 instead of 8 fl oz above and below):
Fat = 2g (2% DV), sat fat = 0g (0% DV)
2% Choc Milk:
Fat = 5g (7% DV), sat fat = 3g (15% DV) * not sure about the %DV... if 1g is 3% then how come 3g is 15%DV? shouldn't it be 9% DV?
cool site... Nutritional Data you can enter any food into the search at the top of the page and it spits out the nutritional data label for it, plus ultra detailed nutrient data
but i think i can deal with the 5g of fat/3g saturated fat in the 2% choc milk.. only 9% DV but tastes 1000 times better... skim choc milk and soy choc milk taste like crap compared to 2% (reduced fat) choc milk...
have to watch the DV values too... they are not really applicable to endurance athletes that require more calories than the average person... and you shouldn't be eliminating fat completely from your diet. Edmond R. Burk PhD in his book "Serious Cycling" states that the average break down for Tour de France cyclist is 23% - 62% - 15% (Fat - Carbs - Protein)... the 23% is much higher (> 2x) than is usually recommended. since fats have highly concentrated calories and it's about the only way they can get enough calories down their throat to deal with the huge amount of calories they are expending. just couldn't eat enough carbs to do it... but you are right it should be non-saturated fats.

Because they're unwilling to try something different. Etc.

I don't know how I stayed out of this debate for so long. Anyhow traditional human societies have a LONG history of consuming milk from cows, sheep, goats, yak's, lama's, buffalo etc., etc. Its the most nutritious food and human kind would have starved without it or been seriously protein deficient at the least.
I'll go off on a short tangent here and say there was an interesting program on TV last night where a researcher was trying to understand why there are have's and have nots in this world and he was trying to see if it was linked with the development of farming. The idea sort of works EXCEPT when you take Papua New Gineans into the picture and then it falls apart. The Papuans have been farming just as long as anyone else on this planet yet didn't develop advanced societies. To cut this short what they didn't have was a good source of protein. Either plant or importantly animal. Dairy has been such a CRITICAL source of protein for our ancestors.
Anyway the milk that's foisted upon us these day's is a very sad imitation of what it used to be. Now I'm one of those poor souls who's intolerant to modern dairy produce but if I get the GOOD stuff I'm OK. Now guess what?
The GOOD stuff is considered to be illegal and by that I mean RAW, UNPASTURISED milk just as mother nature or GOD if you like intended it too be.
Have I started to rant?
I buy raw (unpasturised), unhomoginised jersey milk, pour it into a glass jar that's been sterilised with boiling water and let it sit for 24 hours to naturally sour before putting it in a fridge. BEAUTIFUL stuff although I will admit its a little lumpy so most of you would turn your noses up at it but the point of my self indulgent story is that this is how our ancestors drank milk. EDIT 2: OK I dont think any of you are going to try my recipie but I thought that I should add that its for RAW milk ONLY. Don't try to sour pasturised milk because it doesn't work. It just putrifies instead because the pasturisation proccess has killed the native benificial bacteria that are needed for the proccess to work. Not this homogenised, pasteurised, reconstituted junk that gets passed onto an unsuspecting public so no wonder people are intolerant to it.
A key issue is that pasteurisation kills an enzyme thats needed for the proper digestion of milk and by naturally souring the milk I have allowed the beneficial bacteria to grow making it easier to digest and even more nutritious.

EDIT: Oh, and by the way I do like my naturaly soured milk as a recovery food. Its great stuff.
