There is a lot of controversy about milk nowadays. While some doctors promote milk as a nutritious drink, other nutritionists have linked excess milk consumption to several diseases including cancer, heart disease and diabetes. Milk has lots of calories which contribute to the obesity problem in the United States.
The reason why we are drinking so much milk is because cows are now producing more milk than they did ever before. The milk production process does not care about the health of the cows anymore. These cows are fed antibiotics and growth hormones in order to maximize the average milk yield per cow.
So here is a great info-graphic that shows why milk is bad for us as well as the cows. You can then decide whether modern milk is as nutritious as some people believe.
