Happened to run by your post today. Can you imagine two of my granddaughters bringing me a "Pumpkin Roll", big as a loaf of bread last night??? Yes, I had to try it out. No milk, so I had to make do with some coffee. Doesn't work any better than when chocolate chip cookies are at risk. Coffee, it can work. But milk "Yea, that's it" Edited November 15, 2010 by swansont fix quote tag
swansont Posted November 15, 2010 Posted November 15, 2010 Reminds me of the Bill Cosby bit about feeding his kids chocolate cake for breakfast. Eggs! Eggs are in chocolate cake! And milk! Oh goody! And wheat! That’s nutrition! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRmN4KnfPxQ 1
the tree Posted November 15, 2010 Posted November 15, 2010 Dairy products aren't the best thing in the world for you. Water, fat and lactose - it's amazing how many people buy the idea of milk being so wonderful.
dragonstar57 Posted November 15, 2010 Author Posted November 15, 2010 Dairy products aren't the best thing in the world for you. Water, fat and lactose - it's amazing how many people buy the idea of milk being so wonderful. you need to have 3 servings of dairy a day and if you have 3 cookies....
the tree Posted November 16, 2010 Posted November 16, 2010 (edited) you need to have 3 servings of dairy a dayWhen you say "need", what exactly do you mean? I might have had maybe one thing with cheese in it in the past week, and apart from that no dairy that I can think of (edit: no, I had a coffee with milk in a few days ago, make that two servings in a week or so). I seem not to be dying. Even for someone that consumes dairy on a regular basis, three servings a day seems excessive. Edited November 16, 2010 by the tree

Whereas considering that most of the world are lactose intolerant, it sounds unlikely that a single serving of dairy would be "recommended".
Leader Bee Posted November 16, 2010 Posted November 16, 2010 Interesting how most of the developed world has the better tolerances. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lactose_Intolerance http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Laktoseintoleranz-1.svg

Water, fat and lactose - it's amazing how many people buy the idea of milk being so wonderful. Depends on the context. In today's fast-food society, where fat and calories are in abundance, it's not good. But dial up the wayback machine and look at a society that is undernourished, a machine that can turn indigestible grasses into calories starts looking pretty good.
the tree Posted November 16, 2010 Posted November 16, 2010 Depends on the context. In today's fast-food society, where fat and calories are in abundance, it's not goodYeah, even in developed countries people suffering with malnutrition from eating disorders are given full fat milk because it's a good way to take in a lot of calories very quickly and safely. I still don't think that milk and cookies are a good addition to a reasonably healthy person's diet. Take a look at WolframAlpha's analysis.

I guess the reason I buy into it is because: One glass of milk provides the following % of an adult daily recommended value: Calcium=30%, Calcium is required to build and maintain bone mass. The whole full cream milk contains 4% fat. Vitamin D=25%, necessary to promote absortion of calcium and other minerals. Riboflavin=24%, It helps to convert food into energy. Phosphorous=20%, helps to generate energy in body cells, strengthen bones. Protein=16%, needed to build and repair body muscles. The milk contains about 80 percent whey and 20 percent casein, the two high quality proteins. Whey is a fast protein which is quickly broken down into amino acids and absorbed into the bloodstream. Therefore it is very good to consume after a workout. Casein provides to the body a slow supply of protein for a longer period of time, as it is digested more slowly. Vitamin B-12=13%, needed to build red blood cells that carry oxygen. Potassium=11%, for maintaining normal blood pressure. Niacin=10%, needed for normal functioning of enzymes and metabolism of fatty acids and sugars. Vitamin A=10%, needed for normal vision and skin. Water = 97% http://www.fatfreekitchen.com/nutrition/milk.html And skim milk removes most of the fat calories, so you get all of the above for about 87 calories.

rigney Posted November 18, 2010 Posted November 18, 2010 (edited) and thats why cookies are good for you you eat cookies and drink milk and get vitamins Me, I can handle cookies and coffee. But milk tastes much better with them. Edited November 18, 2010 by rigney
dragonstar57 Posted November 20, 2010 Author Posted November 20, 2010 http://www.mypyramid.gov/pyramid/milk_amount_table.html 3 servings recommended for most age groups
dragonstar57 Posted December 4, 2010 Author Posted December 4, 2010 instead of suger use honey in your cookies. have you ever done that? does it taste better or just have less sugar or something?
Anura Posted December 4, 2010 Posted December 4, 2010 I do it everytime i make cookies. Which is mabey twice a year. I refuse to purchase suger. And it taste just as good. I believe.
dragonstar57 Posted December 7, 2010 Author Posted December 7, 2010 . I refuse to purchase suger. . why? And it taste just as good. I believe have you tried it with sugar?
Anura Posted December 7, 2010 Posted December 7, 2010 (edited) why? have you tried it with sugar? Ive had suger made cookies and i like my honey ones just as much. Edited December 7, 2010 by Anura
Mr Skeptic Posted December 7, 2010 Posted December 7, 2010 Ive had suger made cookies and i like my honey ones just as much. Yeah, honey is rather like flavored sugar.
dragonstar57 Posted December 16, 2010 Author Posted December 16, 2010 Yeah, honey is rather like flavored sugar. isn't honey made of glucose and fructose while table sugar is sucrose? what effect does that have?
