Milk: half gallon a day OK?
Q: My friend drinks a half gallon a day, is that healthy?
A: I don't think milk can harm a person unless he or she is lactose-intolerant. On the other hand, any food can bring in too many calories. The half gallon a day your friend consumes can be the only daily food or can add to overeating.
Nonfat or low-fat dairy lowered the risk of type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome, enhanced weight loss, lowered blood pressure and the risk of insulin-resistance syndrome. USDA recommends three servings daily for a 2,000 calorie diet.
