please tell me it's not true that milk is full of pus!! Is it the same with organic?

[UniversallyChallenged]

Have felt sick all day since i read this

Anyone know if it's true? And why pus in it for goodness sake??

that is why i switched to organic......

Eeeeeeew!
I'm switching to soya milk from this moment onwards.

So there's no pus in organic? Phew.

I've heard that too and there has been loads of threads here about it. Personally even though we do have organic milk in this house, I don't believe it.

goats milk is nice

think there is a lot lesss, than in regular milk.....

lulu how do we know there's none in organic though?

Bought organic today too!

Where did you read this ?

All I can think of is that Heather Mills had a go at trying to peddle this notion a year or so back

I wanna barf

wouldn't there be more pus in organic as they haven't had the anti-biotics?

I thought this was a joke when I heard someone say it earlier!!!!

is it true?????

and if it is true, altho as a milk allergic person, I am feeling rather smug.

hope to goodness it is rumours/jokes tho as DH and the psychokids do have milk products!

no-one has died from drinking it, even if there was

although someone will probably say it can cause cancer

I am a bit to say where I read this, only she described it as mucus, not pus.

It's a book by she who must not be named, in the section about weaning and quantities of milk to give dcs, iirc.

I read it AGES ago, I am not saying I agree with her advice.

'pus' is just white blood cells
milk is alive
same as veg etc

bloody scaremongering

i dont think it was Ms mills - cant remember where i read it, have just had brain freeze since.

style.uk.msn.com/family/pregnancy/article.aspx?cp-documentid=5745772 this is an interesting article. loads of stuff if you google

soya milk makes me boak!

MUCAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THAT'S EVEN WORSE

Bbbee no. because organic dairy herds tend to be smaller and less intensively milked and also looked after better to avoid instances of mastitis etc (precisely because they can't be given anti-biotics)

Sorry...

Just off to make a nice milky drink of cocoa before bed. Night all.

Don't vegetarians eat/drink dairy? I thought that was the defining difference between vegetarians and vegans.

Anway, isn't it the case that we would never eat anything again if we based it all on what quantity of foreign bodies, bacteria, noxious particles, or whatever were permitted in it? I remember reading something (sorry, can't remember where) about the quantity of insect body parts that was permitted in some common foodstuff or other.

Not persuaded to give up milk.

And if you gave up milk you would have to give up milk chocolate as well. No chance.

I've got a four-pint bottle of non-organic in the fridge. Bleurgh. The shop had run out of organic. I'll be more careful about what i buy from now on.

I did read a few back about the growing acne problems in teenagers could be down to the hormones in milk. I assumed it meant extra hormones given to the cows - not their own hormones! Therefore Organic would have fewer.

Very interesting article - would never have thought about the fact that no other species drinks milk after weaning. How true.
