Coca-Cola Is Betting Big On A New Kind Of Milk That Costs Twice As Much As Regular

[Sal]

Me too, thanks for the cake and icecream bomb, I have urges now.

yeah I caved to my cravings today...

lately I am on a peppermint kick, I never knew there were this many goodies that had peppermint in them

at a party a few weeks back I had white chocolate, peppermint popcorn...it is to die for...I've looked EVERYwhere for it...damn, I don't know the hostess all that well or I'd contact her...I thought she said it was President's Choice but when she gave me the bag I was so concentrated on checking out the nutrition that I didn't look carefully at the front of the bag....now....nada... can not find....I'd bury a body for a bag

someone gave me white chocolate peppermint Hershey kisses yesterday...I had to go buy some today, finally found them at Walmart and I hate buying anything there ever...but a girls gotta do, what a girls gotta do...

it's the white chocolate combined with the peppermint...

Now I've been told the candy cane ice cream is to die for

I already ate four kisses...
*sigh*

Yes.

I guess I'll pass on the new milk. Still trying to catch up on the regular kind.

Don't stress over it. Milk isn't as important as we've been led to believe.
The Pros and Cons of Milk and Dairy

Not everyone thinks that was a good idea. Indeed, experts at the Harvard School of Public Health have labeled the milk recommendations a “step in the wrong direction.” One the most prominent critics is Walter Willett, MD, PhD, professor of epidemiology and head of the nutrition department at the Harvard School of Public Health.

“One of the main arguments for USDA recommendations is that drinking milk or equivalent dairy products will reduce the risk of fractures. But in fact there’s very little evidence that milk consumption is associated with reduced fractures,” Willett tells WebMD.

Indeed, countries in which almost no milk is consumed, such as many Asian countries, have low rates of fractures, he points out.

It’s true, he acknowledged, that milk is a good source of potassium. But the levels used for the USDA recommendations are much higher than they need to be to prevent hypertension, according to Willett. “We’re much better off advising people to consume less salt,” he says.

As beverages go, milk is relatively high in calories. One cup of 2% milk has 138 calories, for instance. Drinking three cups a day adds 366 calories to the diet -- a lot for anyone watching their weight.

But Willett’s chief worry is that drinking too much milk may pose dangers. “By now there’s quite a body of data showing a higher risk of fatal prostate cancer associated with milk,” he tells WebMD. “And though the evidence is somewhat mixed, we’ve still seen a slightly higher risk of ovarian cancer associated with drinking three or more servings of milk.”

ah! how can I tell if my hats too tight? Is there some kind of supplement I could take? Or a special divining rod?

Now I'm scared....



You do realize that because you're drinking that milk that baby strawberries are having to go with out?!?!? Sheesh, you are soooooo cruel.

*pops baby strawberries into mouth*


Chomp! Chew! Gulp! Munch!


There! Now we don't have to worry about them going without. See? I'm not cruel, Twila. LOL!

I've seen it on the shelf but will confess, I've never tried it

I do like strawberries though

chocolate milk is okay but not enough of a treat for me to want to drink it

Try it out. Neilson is my brand of choice (the only brand that I've seen locally, anyhow).
