Milk is amazing Oz for Oz. I have medical problems and compared. There really is nothing that has the lipids, carbs, and total protein in one easy and tasty drink. You have to make complex smoothies or get dietary or nutritional supplements for that. Edit: oh and all these companies are freaking liars. All the health, organic, non GMO, 100% juice, superfoods... Sure they don't have the history or power of milk, but they do the same thing and make the same outrageous claims. Science is scrambling to keep up. Your best bet is to just look at the nutritional information and ingredients and make your own judgment. There is no pancea or one ring to rule them all. Eat a varied diet and moderation is key. Yet milk is still great.

As someone with liver and kidney problems? Milk is just amazing and there is literally nearly nothing oz for oz as cheap and jam packed with both macro and micronutrients. You have to go into dietary or nutritional drinks to get that and while I love Nova Source? It has too many vitamins and minerals and I have to be careful not to get too much of any as my body cannot clear them. Phosphorous being the biggest one I struggle with. I need to gain weight. A glass of full milk has lipids, carbs, and complete protein. I've tried the other replacements and they just don't compare. Especially when I buy Lacktaid Protein or Fairlife. Sure it is saturated fat but ATM I need any fat in order to gain weight for a transplant. Chocolate Milk is also the nectar of the gods! Anyway like all super foods and such it isn't a pancea. Moderation is also key. PS: One reason why Milk is important for me is because of the low fluid restrictions. I can only have 24oz of liquid per day and that includes water in food. So it doesn't make sense for me to drink something like clean ice water or even juice... If I put something in my body? Ideally it should have both macro and micronutrients. To me this is the hardest thing about dying is the fact I don't produce urine. No coffee, tea, juice, soup... I am forever thirsty and if I ever get a transplant the first thing I'm doing is chugging a huge glass of ice cold chocolate milk. Making a slushi and drinking it till I puke or can't handle the brain freeze.

Oz for Oz the replacements don't come close. Yeah let's go to Almond Milk because that is sustainable... Any idea how much water almonds need? Even then it doesn't come close in nutrition of macro micro nutrients. Milk is great. Jesus christ people. If you don't like it then that is fine but I find this topic to be heated and it is insane. As someone who is dying and needs to keep up on everything very closely? I've compared and tried to get off Milk due to the phosphorus and yet couldn't find anything close without spending extra money.

@thetacoguyy You can't drink fish mate. Well there is fish oil but again that would be stupid expensive and a cup of the stuff would be near 2,000 calories.

@murtadha96 Science is still out on that one. Same when it comes to digestion as a whole and I don't know why. I've tried looking up on studies for raw milk and there are only a scant few and not all are great or thorough. From what I've read about pasteurization is that there is a handful of stuff that takes a hit like Riboflavin but the others are so minor that it doesn't matter. I'll drink the Lactaid Protein and Fairlife because I'm immunocompromised with kidney and liver. Heptorenal syndrome. So raw milk is too risky for me as there is still a higher chance of infection. Same with eating medium rare steak. The only thing correct about the video is how much power in marketing these products have but that isn't unique to milk or raw milk. All the super foods and drinks have crazy claims.
