Processed Milk is not beneficial for muscle growth

BodyBuilders love to promote milk as being one of the best sources of protein as well as being one of the easiest ways to meet your daily protein requirements (especially when bulking.)  Combine the rhetoric from BodyBuilders with the constant bombardment of "Got Milk" advertisements and you begin to create a culture, especially in the United States, where everyone thinks that drinking milk is great for you.

Unfortunately, this is only a half-truth.  Milk, in and of itself, is great!  But, cow's milk that has been processed (pasteurized and homogenized) loses almost all of its actual benefits and is practically worthless.  Multiple studies have shown this to be true, and those same studies have prompted people to start drinking raw milk instead of processed milk like you would normally find in a grocery store.

The biggest issue however, is that in the United States, you are not allowed to sell raw milk as it is considered unsanitary and unhealthy.  But, in many other countries, it is perfectly legal to sell raw cow's milk.

It seems incredibly absurd that a country would not allow something that is normally healthy to be sold but for most of you that are in the United States, that is how it is.  So, for now, I highly recommend not buying up cartons of milk in order to try and use it as one of your main protein sources despite what many BodyBuilders will tell you.

Not only is milk relatively expensive, but it is not a great way to get your protein in when compared to other completely natural sources like chicken, beef, turkey, tuna, etc.
