What kind of "milk" is the healthiest?

At thr moment I am veering towards organic skimmed goat's milk or organic fermented soy milk. What do you guys think?

Hoppi! ^_^

Hoppipolla - Raw milk (grass-fed).

Organic alone really means almost nothing except that perhaps there are no antibiotics or hormones.

I've heard somewhere that goat's milk is closer to human milk.

Ditch the pasteurized....

Colostrum is also very beneficial. Many people swear by it

Ah thank you CS, I remember hearing about raw milk! Only issue is it's probably quite tricky to get hold of and also fatty I would imagine O.O

Is my skimmed goat's milk ok (as of course it's available at all the local supermarkets) or I wonder if I can get skimmed raw milk. Is pasteurized actually bad, or just not as good?

Thanks! I love cereal but had no idea what I should be putting on it lol

Even raw cow's dairy gave me some itching. Raw goat's dairy suits me the best.

Personally, I would ditch the cereal too! Just my 02 cents... Try a raw bunch of dandelions for breakfast!

When in Upstate NY, I love drinking raw milk. Everything upstate is conducive to health and well-being. I also love eating pure maple syrup and eggs for breakfast and fresh trout for lunch, all that you harvested the day before. Once back in the concrete jungle, there aren't many sources of unpasteurized milk. My second choice is then Almond Breeze without sugar, to which I add stevia drops. Tastes great in oatmeal, decent in coffee.

I've found it hard to get any milk in the UK worth drinking so just dropped it altogether. I suppose I didn't try hard but it wasn't worth looking that hard for.

Raw milk from A2 cows is better than the A1 cows. Milk from older breeds like the Jersey or the African (A2 cows) contain the amino acid proline in the beta-casein protein while in the younger breeds like the Holsteins (A1 cows), the proline amino acid has mutated and as a result is causing many of the allergic reactions in people.

This is important because beta-casein also contains an amino acid called BCM-7, which is a powerful opiate linked to negative health effects. Well, the proline that exists in A2 cows has a strong bond to BCM-7, which helps keep it out of the cows’ milk. The histidine in the newer A1 cows, however, has a weak hold on BCM-7, which allows it to get into the milk, and also into the people who drink the milk.

So the theory goes that by drinking milk from A1 cows, which are the predominant cows used for dairy products in the United States, you’re exposed to BCM-7, which has been linked to:

* Neurological impairment, including autistic and schizophrenic changes
* Type 1 diabetes
* An impaired immune response
* Autoimmune disease
* Heart disease…”

Almond milk.

To be honest, my diet has become significantly lazier since my new-found confidence about my liver fat theory! Now, I just pretty much avoid overdoing fat, refined sugar, alcohol, gluten, heavier meats or dairy, but mostly just eat a fairly normal, reasonably healthy diet

Ah is almond milk good then? I should try it sometime!

Is rice milk NOT good? I lose track lol ^^

The healthiest milk for human consumption is human breast milk from a healthy female. Next human breast milk kefir! Your next best bet is Raw grass fed organic Goats milk Kefir!. Then finally raw grass fed organic goats milk.

Cows milk should only be consumed sparingly IMO/E, it will cause inflammation.

almond milk bought in store usually will be pasteurized unless you,or the seller make it themselves so the fat will be destroyed by heat not good. Coconut milk is probably the best option next to raw grass fed milk if you can obtain that in your state. It can be cooked is heat stable,but still is better raw.

Pasteurization and ultra-pasteurization sucks in general, of which almost everything is nowadays: milk, orange juice and every other juice, vinegar, wine, maple syrup, honey, cream, beer etc. The process elicits an immune response and destroys so many of the vitamins and nutrients. Unfortunately, the US govt. has mandated since 2007 that almonds be pasteurized due to two stray cases of salmonella.

What about raw almonds and reversed osmosis water straight into the almond mill (= raw almond milk)?

Sounds delicious! Just make sure they are free-range and grassfed... http://www.ebaumsworld.com/video/watch/862438/

If you can for sure get raw almonds yes lot of almonds are heat treated now http://www.organicconsumers.org/articles/article_4742.cfm
drinking coconut milk you'll be getting lauric acid which is contained in breast milk.

WOW! Next time I get another facebook contact by a crazy cat lady to meet, I just might take up her offer.

Hello to all.....WOW!!!! that's true ....i agree with this post.... Next time I get another facebook contact by a crazy cat lady to meet, I just might take up her offer.........Thanks for sharing ,,,,,,

I agree with this, human milk then goat milk.. I read in a few places how goat milk is better for humans.

Having said that, humans are not meant to drink even human milk from a healthy female as adults, so why would these adults want to drink any kind of milk, human, goat, cow etc.. Is there something in milk one can't get from other sources?

Also, I could find grass-fed cows and raw milk from them in the midwest where I live, but the goats I found, even the organic ones were "not" eating grass they were eating a mixture of things that contained organic "corn" .. The farmer was proud of their goat feed as it was organic and specially made (better than crap that commercial goats eat) I was also told by the farmer that goats eat anything because they dont graze like cows but browse around and are curious and chow everything... Also on the news I saw a business owner using goats to mow bushy lawns, they even eat poisonous plants..

This leads me to wondering: If grass-fed cow milk from A2 cows is the best cow milk, what is the best goat milk? precisely what should these goats be eating to produce the best goat milk?

Coconut Milk, this is all I drink now

teacup - Goats will generally eat most things, but still a diet primarily grass fed is ideal. If the goat is given grain (which is often the case because it boosts milk production)then you'll want to try and avoid that if you can. Quality goats milk will always be superior to quality cows milk for human consumption.

Having said all that, i personally wouldn't drink milk everyday. I have it now and then, but id advise to make it only a medium/small portion of your diet. What you want to have everyday or close to, is yogurt and kefir. I personally consume this stuff 6 days a week, 3 weeks a month. IMO its good to have breaks.

I totally think there is a potential market for harvesting human breast milk LoL Though id only consume it as kefir.
