What is everyones take on milk?
Currently I probably drink around 1.2L a day atm on my bulk and apparently milk is not good for you and can raise estrogen levels etc.
Don't know if thats broscience or not.
How much do you guys consume and is it good/bad?

Here is a video. I'm thinking strong broscience.
I believe it depends on the individual, and the goal at hand. Some people can't handle dairy. They get bloated, hold alot of water, and have gastrointenstinal problems. Others handle it just fine.
On a cut, I would stick with skim and limit it pretty tight - I don't drink any at all. On a bulk, i'd do skim or 1% at the most, and would still keep my intake limited, but maybe not as much as on a cut.
yeh for me milk is easy cals and it drink only skimmed.
Chuck it in protein shakes and drink odd glass.
Don't get any stomach upset or anything.
Personaly I'd limit to PWO since thats about the only time u should have simple carbs in you diet, and still at 1% or below
Milk is good when not cutting. But lets face it...lactose is still a sugar and will used as such just like all others. And, if you are trying to cut on it...milk tends to give a "soft" look to the skin hindering the definition of muscle underneath.
If your not cutting....milk is a good source of energy (not necessarily just as a pro source). I would stick to skim or 1% if skim can't be handled.
I myself after years of cutting milk for periods at a time have issues digesting the sugar.....and I use sparingly.
Great point - I forgot to mention the most important thing which is that it contains alot of sugar, which should always be limited regardless of the goal at hand IMO.Quote:
