A member asked:
Is drinking cow milk bad for your health? if yes why and what is the limit? and if you're building muscles?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: This is not bad for your health unless you have a lactose intolerance, or must limit the amount of fat you are taking in your diet, in which case you can use 2% or skim. It will provide nutrient support for building muscles.
