Whole Milk: Harbaugh may be on to something
Harbaugh may not be crazy about the whole milk recommendation. There is some research that suggests he at least might be correct that skim milk isn’t necessarily better: https://www.ctvnews.ca/health/wake-up-call-study-suggests-kids-who-drink-whole-milk-may-be-leaner-1.4747775
Maybe that whole “nervous bird” thing has some merit also. ;)
(Also, this isn’t marked OT because milk is NEVER OT!)

Spend time around marathon runners. They(we) down chocolate whole milk like it’s a glass of water.
January 5th, 2020 at 11:33 AM ^
Yes, I do. Almost every day.
January 5th, 2020 at 11:49 AM ^
Andrew, I'm not one who personally ally drives is a lot of milk. But, I am blown away by your statement that adults drinking milk blows your mind. Very weird. Would you also be amazed to learn many adults enjoy pizza? I will ruin the suspense for you - they love it, some with a glass of milk.
January 5th, 2020 at 1:08 PM ^
i love milk with italian and holiday meals for some reason. otherwise, i don't drink a lot of it.
January 5th, 2020 at 1:33 PM ^
No, I would not be amazed to learn many adults enjoy pizza because I and many other adults I know consume it regularly. I cannot for the life of me think of the last time I saw an adult drink a glass of milk. That's not judgment against. If you enjoy it, awesome. It's just a concept that's totally foreign to me.
January 5th, 2020 at 11:56 AM ^
I average half a gallon whole milk a day.
January 5th, 2020 at 11:58 AM ^
I like raw milk. The nutrients are still intact.
January 5th, 2020 at 12:17 PM ^
Frozen into ice cream.
January 5th, 2020 at 12:43 PM ^
Try this one. You might eat the whole thing!
January 5th, 2020 at 12:34 PM ^
Almond milk
January 5th, 2020 at 12:48 PM ^
you ever try to milk an almond?
January 5th, 2020 at 2:35 PM ^
Does an almond have nipples? Because you can milk anything with nipples!
January 5th, 2020 at 3:21 PM ^
I have nipples. Can you millk me, Putingrad?
January 5th, 2020 at 1:33 PM ^
January 5th, 2020 at 5:03 PM ^
Of course adults drink a glass of milk. If anything is childish it would be eating a bowl of cereal... I love cereal, I’m just basing this off of cereal vs glass of milk.
January 5th, 2020 at 10:23 PM ^
If you're an athlete and you don't drink milk, you're probably not a good athlete. Milk is one of the least expensive sources of protein there is.
January 5th, 2020 at 12:07 PM ^
Why downvote this? So he doesn't like whole milk. So what.
January 5th, 2020 at 1:45 PM ^

I actually like almond milk. Though I worry they may be pumping those trees full of antibiotics and hormones...
January 5th, 2020 at 11:27 AM ^
January 5th, 2020 at 12:45 PM ^
Almond milk: Blue Diamond Unsweetened Vanilla actually tastes pretty good; use it mainly for cereal in the morning. Capt'n Crunch is nature's most perfect food, btw...
January 5th, 2020 at 12:58 PM ^
Plus one for Cap'n Crunch!!
January 5th, 2020 at 12:53 PM ^
Have you ever seen the nipples on those trees?
January 5th, 2020 at 11:25 AM ^
Try heavy whipping cream. No carbs, delicious on everything.
January 5th, 2020 at 11:55 AM ^
Including various body parts...
January 5th, 2020 at 3:22 PM ^
Go on . . .

Need I...?

Oldest son drank whole milk by the gallons and is 6 3” 230 lb D1 athlete.
Youngest son won’t touch milk, short and kind of chubby. Not scientific by any means but there’s something to it.
January 5th, 2020 at 11:50 AM ^
My oldest son loves milk & is on the smaller/skinnier side. So, probably nothing to it.
January 5th, 2020 at 1:23 PM ^
Epigenetics definitely plays a role in development. Also, childhood habits have a strong chance of sticking around.
January 5th, 2020 at 1:28 PM ^
hey dad -
i wish you'd stop calling me "chubby" on mgoblog
love,
your son
January 5th, 2020 at 11:33 AM ^
I don't know if I buy any of this stuff anymore. Dude sure coaches like he eats a lot of chicken.
January 5th, 2020 at 11:46 AM ^
You can find research that will tell you anything.
January 5th, 2020 at 12:57 PM ^
I've been trying for years to find something that says deep-fried sugar is healthy. Nothing yet ...
Similarly, I've been looking for something slamming steamed broccoli. Nothing there, either ...
January 5th, 2020 at 1:11 PM ^
Ok smart alec. ;-)
I'll take steamed cauliflower (omg good!!). No gas like from broccoli.
January 5th, 2020 at 1:33 PM ^
Well my great grandmother always ate dessert first before dinner to make sure she had room for it lol. She lived into her late 90s with no chronic health conditions. I mean, if it was good enough for great grandma...

Fairlife Milk, the stuff he was in commercials for, seems to be pretty badass. High in protein, low in sugar, and you can get some with dha.
It's great way to boost protein intake by simply drinking or adding to oatmeal, or protein shakes, or w/e.
January 5th, 2020 at 12:03 PM ^
That fairlife stuff is some of the tastiest liquid known to man, too
January 5th, 2020 at 12:14 PM ^
Yeah, it's surprisingly tasty. Had low expectations when I tried it and found it to be as good as 2%.
January 5th, 2020 at 12:19 PM ^
Dairy: Bad for you, bad for the planet and really bad for cattle.
January 5th, 2020 at 1:06 PM ^
agreed - causes cancer among many other things
the purpose of cows milk is to make a baby cow big and fat as quickly as possible, is filled with puss and other things
people can downvote you all they want, but you are spot on
January 5th, 2020 at 1:06 PM ^
damn double post lol
January 5th, 2020 at 12:35 PM ^
“Of 5862 reports identified by the search, 28 met the inclusion criteria: 20 were cross-sectional and 8 were prospective cohort. No clinical trials were identified. In 18 studies, higher cow-milk fat consumption was associated with lower child adiposity, and 10 studies did not identify an association.”
I drank only whole milk growing up and I was always a little skinny shit. That said, the clinical evidence for the OP’s assertion is lacking, and that’s being generous.
January 5th, 2020 at 12:45 PM ^
Yeah it’s almost as if we are individuals with different genetic makeups and that dietary needs, combined with many other factors, are highly specific to the individual so taking advice like “milk good” or “eggs bad” from an article may not produce the desired results.
January 5th, 2020 at 12:52 PM ^
don,
drinking milk made you just skin and bones. actually, not even skin, just bones.
January 5th, 2020 at 1:35 PM ^
I smoked my first cigarette at 10—a non-filter Pall Mall. That made me the emaciated skull-face I am today.
January 5th, 2020 at 12:38 PM ^
I switched to skim years ago(Wifey did that). I'm 62 years old and love my milk. I'm carrying a few extra pounds but I never get sick and I'm healthy as a horse.
January 5th, 2020 at 12:51 PM ^
But are you hung like one
January 5th, 2020 at 12:39 PM ^
