Is cows milk really good for you?

it says "rbst" hormones are used on cattle to help produce more milk than natural and that some websites argue for and against the health of the milk produced due to this speed up..also that humans shouldn't really be drinking cow milk just in general..they're like every mammal producing milk to feed their young

No it isn't good for you. It's basically liquid fat. Whatever beneficial nutrients are in it you can and should get from some other source. Also there is clinical and statistical evidence that the main protein in milk is highly carcinogenic.

@Davidarendale0 I was going to try almond milk...but then was wondering where is a good source of calcium?..it says almond milk has its benefits..low in saturated fat and everything..but its also has no calcium or protein

@All2livefor if you're concerned with calcium you may just want to get an over-the-counter supplement. The calcium in milk is artificially added anyway. You may not be interested in this option but sardines are are very rich in both protein and calcium.

Cow milk is made for baby cows. I don't drink it

Even without added hormones there are tons of growth hormones meant to grow a calf into a cow. Seems a little overkill for a human...

I don’t understand why we don’t milk women and then pasturise it ready for the supermarkets

Fun fact, cow's milk is actually kinda poisonous to humans and is nowhere near as healthy to humans as human breast milk. (Roughly 12x better for you in terms of calcium, vitamins and proteins)

Some cow's (primarily in America) have hormones injected into them to massively increase their milk production, these are known as super cow's, the main side effect to said hormone injection is it leads to internal ulcers and puss to seep into the udders/milk.

I don't care what they say. I like to have a glass of whole milk every night before I go to bed.🍶
