This is not really "news" at all. I stopped drinking dairy milk a couple years ago because I realized it offered no potential benefits, and only alleged risks that kept surfacing in these studies.

There is literally no up-side to drinking milk, only purported risks. Thus, IMO the only reason to drink it is if you REALLY REALLY REALLY like the taste and can't imagine your life without it.

Also, interestingly - I personally have seen absolutely zero studies that showed milk benefits, that was not funded by the dairy farmers.

Of course there's an upside to drinking milk - it has calories and nutrients. Is it a better source of those two things than anything else? No. But there is no "perfect" food - you need a little bit of everything.

It's great for gaining weight (which is something a lot of people want to do).
