Without drawing too much attention to my unwillingness to debate this subject, I've done quite a bit of research on this subject and all I have to say is you may want to do your homework before you tip back that next glass of white stuff.

Interesting. I have Crohns disease and I drink a LOT of milk. Like probably a gallon a week at least.

Crohn's DiseaseDescribed as a human scourge,[8] over a half million[9] Americans suffer from this devastating, lifelong condition[10] with annual US medical costs in the billions.[11] Crohn's sufferers experience profuse urgent diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and fevers.[12] Because of the diarrhea, many people are unable to leave their houses; others drive around in recreational vehicles or mobile homes to keep a bathroom close at hand.[13] The director of the National Association for Colitis and Crohn's Disease says the best way to describe the disease to non-sufferers if to have them think of the worst stomach flu they ever had and then try to imagine living with that every day.[14]
What happens is that the immune system starts attacking the lining of the gut, which becomes swollen and inflamed.[15] In extreme cases this painful embarrassing condition can affect any part of the digestive system from the mouth to the anus.[16] This inflammation narrows the digestive tract and can result in excruciating pain during digestion as well as constant uncontrollable bowel movements. Added discomforts associated with Crohn's disease include severe joint pains, weight loss and lack of energy.[17]
The intestines characteristically become so deeply ulcerated that they take on a "cobblestone" appearance. The ulcers can actually eat right through the gut wall and cause bleeding, abscesses, fistulas and perforation.[18] Passing food, sometimes even just drink, through Crohn's damaged intestines can be excruciatingly painful. In the words of one colon-rectal surgeon, "Crohn's is a surgical disease. We wait until the patient can no longer withstand the pain anymore, and then we perform surgeryÅ*and repeated surgeries over timeÅ*ultimately, as recurrences happen and intestinal damage occurs, we just cut and cut, in some cases, until there is no more intestine that can be cut out."[19]
Tragically, Crohn's disease typically strikes people in their teens and early twenties--destroying their health.[20] Children, adolescents, and young adults suddenly become faced with the harsh reality of a lifetime of chronic pain, in and out of hospitals their entire lives.[21]
The disease is mostly found in the US, UK and Scandinavia.[22] And it's on the increase. The incidence in the US, which has been increasing steadily since the 1940's--doubling, then tripling, then quadrupling[23]--is now approaching that of an epidemic.[24] The most rapid increase has been seen in children. In the 1940's and early 1950's there were no recorded cases of Crohn's in teenagers. Currently one in every six new cases diagnosed are under age twenty.[25] Dr. Crohn, who described one of the first series of cases back in 1932,[26] wrote decades later "From this small beginning, we have witnessed the evolution of a Frankenstein monster..."[27]
Johne's DiseaseCrohn actually didn't discover Crohn's disease. The first person to give it a clear description was a Scottish surgeon named Kennedy Dalziel in 1913.[28] He wrote "I can only regret that the etiology [cause] of the condition remains in obscurity, but I trust that before long, further consideration will clear up the difficulty."[29] Eighty-eight years later and the scientific community is still not sure what causes Crohn's, but Dalziel had a hunch which a growing number of prominent scientists now think may be correct.
About two decades earlier in 1895, German doctor H. A. Johne was the first to describe the cause of a disease in cattle characterized by chronic or intermittent profuse intractable diarrhea.[30] Clinically, the disease in cattle was virtually identical to that which we now know as human Crohn's disease.[31] The gross pathology of the infected cow's intestines likewise had the same cobblestone appearance and microscopically, the Crohn's diseased intestines and the diseased cattle intestines were dead ringers.[32] Dalziel wrote that the tissue characteristics were "so similar as to justify a proposition that the diseases may be the same."[33] He theorized that the disease in cattle and the disease in people were the same entity.

Milk does the body good, dont believe it, ask your doctor! Only those who are lactose intollerant may not be able to enjoy it. Maybe somemore cases I don't know about, but in general, you can't go wrong with it!
