> Is there any empirical evidence that milk is harmful? When much of the USDA and other governmental bodies are either made up of food company lobbyists, or are influenced by them, it's hard to know what the truth actually is. For reference, see: http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/corrupt14.php http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/corrupt14.php, "Omnivore's Dilemma" by Michael Pollan, Food Inc. (film) However, there is research, you can google it. Here's an article that talks about it, and links to some studies at the bottom: http://www.naturalchild.org/guest/linda_folden_palmer.html http://www.naturalchild.org/guest/linda_folden_palmer.html There's lots of other seemingly-quackery stuff out there, but from what I can tell the main issue is that no one has funded what you're looking for: a long-term, controlled, peer-reviewed study of the effects of modern (non-raw) milk. My guess is because a lot of companies with a lot of money who already exert a lot of power over governmental bodies and grant-givers, don't want such research done. But, if you're willing to read what's out there, just google it: http://www.google.com/search?q=milk+harmful+research http://www.google.com/search?q=milk+harmful+research
