Is drinking a cup or 2 of whole milk everyday bad for a 45 year old man?


Question:
I am 45 years old and i enjoy drinking a cold glass of whole milk everyday.I don't like the 2% or the lowfat milks too much.Am i hurting myself by drinking so much whole milk at my age?

Answers:
YES! It IS bad for you! It's like drinking a glassful of bacon! EWW! If you make the switch to a lower fat milk gradually, you won't notice it so much.
I lost a brother a few years ago to a blocked artery to the heart. He died in his sleep, 2 weeks short of his 49th birthday. He was not overweight at all, and actually looked very healthy. The only problem we knew of that he had was high cholesterol, and he was on Baycol for it. (the drug was recalled not to long after that). He wasn't eating properly and that definitely contributed to his demise.
You're 45.is it worth the risk?

(P.S. Some doctors are fat and die before their time also.remember that! You can also get Omega 3 through other, more healthy food choices, such as fish.)

Other Answers:
No, that should not cause any problem.

No, actually high fat milk (as little as you're drinking) is very good for your health because it provides you with Omega 3 (an essential fatty acid), and promotes good bone health. At your age, this is a especially fine.
