Got Milk?

Question
Hello, I have a friend who tends to drink a lot of milk. I have been told that excess milk consumption is bad for your overall health. To the contrary, I have also been told that one can never drink too much milk. My friend drinks a half gallon a day, is that healthy?  

Answer
I don't think milk can harm a person unless he or she is lactose-intolerant. On the other hand, any food can bring in too many calories. The half gallon a day your friend consumes can be the only daily food or can add to overeating.

Nonfat or low-fat dairy lowered the risk of type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome, enhanced weight loss, lowered blood pressure and the risk of insulin-resistance syndrome. USDA recommends three servings daily for a 2,000 calorie diet.
