Milk?

[WalkingCups]

Is milk healthy? I've always drank tons of milk I've never broken a bone and thought it was healthy. Lately I've gotten into bodybuilding a little but and milk has 12gs of sugar in one cup. So is milk okay to drink or not?

Whats wrong with sugar?

And why would bodybuilding negate any of the healthy effects you are getting from it?

Everybody knows sugar is bad for u and I'm a lot more health conscious because if body building

You're focusing just on one "negative" effect (assuming how you're worried about the sugar) of milk and not the positive ones such as a good source of protein and nutrients. Great way to get in good calories each day as well

Milk is great.

There is a reason many recommend a gallon of whole milk everyday to skinny newbs. It is full of protein, fats and carbs.

Great bulking.

Why is it bad for you exactly? it contains calories, its great for you.

[SlickRick187]

lol at "everybody knows sugar is bad for you". everything in moderation, and i know, that life without sugar would definitely make me sad

I wouldn't go that far in saying its great for you, but agree with the sentiment, everything in moderation...

Plus it furks with your teeth.

Nutrient wise is certainly is, calorie wise it has its spread.

Not sure how it fuks with your teeth though, aware me?

So even tho it has some sugar it is okay to drink?

I stopped drinking milk a few years ago because of the sugar content. Even though it's not added sugar, I only want to have sugar in my diet where I can taste it, like in fruits. I drink unsweetened soy or almond milk instead.

However, if you're not worried about naturally occurring sugars, I'd actually suggest whole milk over any other kind. It is a balanced source of protein, fat, and carbohydrates.

Yep it has calories...I guess if your bulking the calories won't be much of a problem.


I have alot of dental problems, so maybe its just me, but my teeth feel awful after eating anything high in sugar. It could all well just be me...

Gritty, gum pain, etc...

Gritty, gum pain, etc...

Chew gum, or carry some mouth wash with you, if possible, in your bag etc.

Drink your milk. You'll be okay.

Everyone knows sugar is bad for you. Just like hundreds of years ago everyone knew the earth was flat.

Hope that puts things in to perspective OP. At 15 you should be more worried about eating food, and having a good time with your friends than the sugar content in milk.

Are you suggesting 15 year old op drinks beer instead?

I've drank milk nearly every day of my life since I was a little kid. Imo the only things people should be drinking is milk, protein shakes, and real green tea. Nearly every other drink is unnecessary

Lets stop drinking water then?

"Sugar is bad for you" is one of those oft-repeated half truths repeated and perpetuated by the average joe, similar to "5-6 small meals a day" and "don't eat at night".

The problem with health isn't sugar necessarily, but sugar is one of the causes of a myriad of long term health problems and diseases---however, this is from the average joe and his excessive consumption of overly refined and processed sugars, added sugars. Several sodas all day, sweets all day, etc. NOT sugar from fruit, milk, etc.

Boggles my mind to watch a co-workers down a few 300+ cal 100g sugar soft drinks all day long.
