@@Jenny-dj1pi no way bro you were actually first. this is the most significatn achievement of your life oh my adays
Isn't the Cake a lie too?
i dont really get this video, here in Caucasian mountains, Milk and dairy product is literally what people who live in villages drink al lthe time, not because of "unsold stockpiles" but because it considered as a healthy thing and is part of cultural cousine..
Lol .. Wonder how Microsoft feels since they also have software called CoPilot ...
The idea that fully grown adult humans need to be breast fed by cows was always weird to me.
It's yummy tho
As a lactose intolerant person who is bulking . I now see this milk lie very clearly 😂
You’re not alone
Milk is the shit and what weirdo drinks milk and thinks that your being breast fed? Cows don't even have breasts. Udder fed maybe lmao. Yall mad goofy.
i love u DDOI
If milk is a lie then why did my dad go to get it?
that was the point my friend
@@johnnydoe2672 Woah.
Can someone explain this meme 🤔🤔
That was the lie.
My dad went to get cigarettes.
Here is a quote that I will recite here for entertainment purposes. "Make no mistake, pasteurization was never about healthier milk. It was all about flipping the business from the Milkman to the grocery store, making the sale of raw milk illegal solidified the deal... & you can take that to the bank...
Hello dear one. You're preaching to the choir.
Makes sense. Anything to hurt the small businessperson.
A lot of people were dying from non-pasteurized milk, but ok.
People were actually being harmed from milk expiration
I believe it was actually AL Capone who lobbied for it because his niece got sick due to expired milk
@@TSUA-camryeah, most likely that also contributed, however is about profit margins, raw milk is perfectly safe but it needs better practices... If you pasteurize you can just get more cows in a smaller place and not clean at all... So better margins.
Brother, you have mastered this video essay thing. Your vids are very dense with knowledge and the way you present tells a linear story that keeps us interested and invested. Great work🎉❤
People easily accept that the government lied in the past but don't think it does it now. I always ask "when did the officials stop lying?"
Simple answer, never, too much vested interest in the money they make by doing it!
Careful now, you don’t wanna be labelled a conspiracy theorist. But honestly tho, my personal experience is that people don’t necessarily believe the government and politicians to be honest, they’re just apathetic towards it.
@@Jonas-Seiler I personaly believ they are honest unless they actively have a reason not to be
@@algotkristoffersson15 I fully agree with that... with the addendum of they ALWAYS have a reason not to be.
@@Jonas-Seiler wish it were simple apathy, I experienced a lot of reasonable family and friends become unpaid salesmen for big pharma a couple years ago. biologically, we are the same as nazis and every other social adventure gone wrong. wish it weren't so, but corporations know how to flip a switch and turn most of us into manchurian candidates. me, you, and others like us who "are able to see beyond the shadows and lies" of our culture will unfortunately be pit against armies of manchurian candidates.
When I was homeless and strung out on drugs I think milk was the only thing that kept me alive. Lol. Whole milk. Red cap. I drank it and not much else and survived.. so therefore I am greatful to milk. I don't drink it much anymore, but I'll never forget what it has done for me. ❤️
thanks for sharing and I think you make a good point, thanks, glad you are in a different place
after all, the govt. was not very bad as johnny describes, it does saves lives!
Milk is also the reason why the Netherlands came from being one of the shortest country in Europe to becoming the tall monsters that they are now. Dont think to much of Johnny Harris. He is a WEF stooge, CIA asset.
@@hyperphenomenal4360 the government doesn’t assist the homeless and puts millions in food insecurity, and you’re turning this sad story into the government deserving props?
This is r/orphancrushingmachine material
there is no problem with it if you can digest it and you do not drink too much
Had the opportunity to try raw milk. I regularly drink gallons of milk A week, but have begun to slow way down. The processed milk is so much like water. But the raw milk was sweet and rich, and filling. I could only drink a fraction of the raw milk before I was full.
I started drinking raw milk as well and I can digest it so much better than pasteurized. It’s much more nutritious too. Raw milk is healing!!
Raw milk gang unite
Yeah stop drinking pasteurized milk three years ago thinking my acne was coming from it which may be true but I think it may have been just due to high sugar in my diet which I dialed back on. But I also noticed 3 years ago my hair was much more thicker and luscious back when I was drinking milk so I'm going to try raw milk and see how that goes let's see if my thick hair comes back from 3 years ago and hopefully I don't get as much acne since I don't consume sugar as much as I did back then.
As someone that owns cows and milks them, what is raw milk? I can't drink milk without boiling it cause you can taste the cow sweat and hairs 😂
Bet , I didn't know what raw milk meant in these terms but the place literally down the street is about to be sold out now that I know it's betterb
My grandfather had 5 sons and 5 daughters. They never drinks milk. They live past 80 years. The oldest one immigrated into the US when he was about 55 years old. He went to medical checkup and the doctor always said his health was good. He died at about 85 years old. All of my uncles swam and played soccer a lot when they were young and they did physical work. We are from Vietnam.
Omg, this finally explains it. When I was growing up as a kid I was always wondering “why in Hollywood movies and shows Americans drink milk all the time?”. In shops you can buy a GALLON of milk and that’s SHITLOAS of milk. Our packaging in Eastern Europe goes up to 2L which is almost half a gallon.
I don't know how it is in Europe or other parts of the world, but my experience with South America, is that no body, not even children drinks pure milk, actually the idea is kind of disgusting actually, milk is a ingredient and so drinking pure milk would be like eating pure wheat flower.
My hunch is that drinking pure milk was a social engineering thing and lets say in the XIX century and back not even Americans did it.
PS: I almost forgot: the absolute nauseating thing about people drinking pure milk in America movies for people in South America that I've spoken is eating it with food that you would eat drinking a coke, juice, wine, whatever but not freaking milk! That is gross!
Indian moms also act like milk is the holy grail despite a significant portion of India being lactose intolerant. I’d love to see how this false narrative about milk trickled down to other countries. but drinking plain milk by itself is still weird in india - we have so many malt powder mixes to make it taste better & so these malt companies are advertised more than the milk itself. My biggest culture shock when I moved to America was finding out that Americans drink plain raw milk, especially along with a meal
USDA+Dairy lobby = CDC+Pharma lobby ? Na not possible, right ?🧐
@@freedom_aint_freeno actually. Millions of people of not billions grew up with milk in Europe far before advertisement existed. Most European countries are aparted by lactose tolerant people. You can also build up those enzymes by consuming small quantities per day but w/e I responded too much in this sections
Amīši vienmēr tādi jocīgi ir bijuši.
We literally studied the "Got Milk" marking campaign in one of my Uni marketing classes in the past week and I was like I wish there was someone who's videos I like watching makes something related to milk and then bingo this man comes in clutch!!
Had exactly same experience last Monday, but with European eunion marketing efforts to promote milk in 2010'
World is small
Milk is great man, it's just that unfortunately...like most things,it's uses and greatness are exaggerated to make certain people money
Uni? And who's instead of whose? Wow.
As someone with liver and kidney problems? Milk is just amazing and there is literally nearly nothing oz for oz as cheap and jam packed with both macro and micronutrients. You have to go into dietary or nutritional drinks to get that and while I love Nova Source? It has too many vitamins and minerals and I have to be careful not to get too much of any as my body cannot clear them. Phosphorous being the biggest one I struggle with.
I need to gain weight. A glass of full milk has lipids, carbs, and complete protein. I've tried the other replacements and they just don't compare. Especially when I buy Lacktaid Protein or Fairlife. Sure it is saturated fat but ATM I need any fat in order to gain weight for a transplant.
Chocolate Milk is also the nectar of the gods!
Anyway like all super foods and such it isn't a pancea. Moderation is also key.
PS: One reason why Milk is important for me is because of the low fluid restrictions. I can only have 24oz of liquid per day and that includes water in food. So it doesn't make sense for me to drink something like clean ice water or even juice... If I put something in my body? Ideally it should have both macro and micronutrients. To me this is the hardest thing about dying is the fact I don't produce urine. No coffee, tea, juice, soup... I am forever thirsty and if I ever get a transplant the first thing I'm doing is chugging a huge glass of ice cold chocolate milk. Making a slushi and drinking it till I puke or can't handle the brain freeze.
Huh, I actually ate quite a bit of that government cheese. It wasn't bad at all. I lived with a widow who had 3 kids under 18 and we'd get rations monthly-wheat, cheese, canned fruit and vegetables, usually oatmeal and sometimes eggs. A local dairy farmer was sweet on her, he would bring a gallon of milk every week and we would skim off the cream and make butter.
No one in the house was a milk fan, we used it for hot cereal, cooking/baking.
Matrix confirmed
I think context is crucial. Mr Harris makes some great points here but it’s worth thinking about what you’re drinking instead. Realistically its the 2nd healthiest drink after water - fruit juice and smoothies are sooo full of sugar (eating fruit let’s you take the sugar in slowly and chewing sets of a whole load of processes that prepare your body for what’s coming), refined sugar is bad and any sweetener (even ‘natural’ sweeteners) are ultra-processed, and our bodies aren’t at all adapted to deal with something that tastes like sugar (which upon tasting may for example cause the body to raise insulin levels) but actually isn’t. Best drink water, 2nd best milk, then comes everything else
3rd best kool aid
How can it be the best thing when a lot of people can't digest it and get side effects?
@@TheMaxikwell, minus the weak ones.
😉 jk
I agree and stated in another comment that I was unbelievably active as a child. I drank drank an insane amount of milk BUT other than water what would have been better that was readily available when I was a kid? Coke? Sport drinks? I drank lots of Gatorade to when it exploded on the scene.
Likely more genes than anything but I was healthier and in better shape than anyone at my high school or college.
Don’t regret it.
😁
@@TheMaxik Just because some people are allergic to peanuts, doesn't mean peanuts aren't healthy.
In my childhood I had gas so bad I thought I would explode. I was in tears and my mom consulted with experts and doctors and they said I was swallowing air when I was eating and they taught me how to blow air out when taking a spoon full of food. It turns out, it was just milk. I ate cereal and milk daily, massive amounts.
Me too!
same here!i like milk too much to stop consuming it, most of time nothing.
Oh boy if i take ice cream, then im a gas station in toilet seat.
LoL farts away my friend
I go through half a gallon in a week. Too much milk makes me sick too.
By age 10 a bowl of cereal would have me doubled over
Just a thought... getting a child to drink a glass of milk to get 300mg of calcium is way easier than trying to get them to eat a 100g of almonds. I can get calcium from cabbage if I wanted to, but I'd have to eat a shitload of it to get even nearly the same amount (oxylates in cabbage bond with calcium, thus reducing the amount available for absorbtion)
So yes, you can get calcium from other sources but do remember that it's the ease of ingestion as well as nutrient density that also play a major factor.
And pretty high vitamin d
This. I was a picky eater as a child, but I loved milk. So all my parents had to do to make sure I got all the nutrients I needed, was put milk on the table and serve up some potatoes - all bases covered, in the simplest way possible. Almonds, lmao. I'm sure there are kids out there who love them, but I couldn't get my own kid to eat one even if it's in an ice cream chocolate bar (real life example btw, he literally stopped eating the ice cream and said I could have it).
🐑 Baaaaaa....
🤯 mind blown. My husband called our firstborn daughter “government cheese“ because he thought she was kind of lazy because she really enjoyed letting other people do things for her. I mean, just from infancy to like 2. 😆 but knowing origins is crazy. Fing govt
It really was insane how hard schools pushed students to drink milk.
A couple years ago, during the peak of the pandemic, I chose to go back to school in person.
I should mention this was an optional choice, and most kids chose to stay virtual. Yet, it seemed like the school didn’t adjust the the amount of milk they were ordering.
Grabbing a milk box became mandatory at lunchtime, I tried every day to refuse it, knowing I wouldn’t drink it and that it would be wasted.
One day the lunch lady just straight up said “Look I know your lactose intolerant, just take the milk and throw it in the trash.”
(I’m not even lactose intolerant but I guess she assumed I was since I kept trying to refuse the milk, I just think it’s crazy that the school was encouraging me to waste it.)
Lol your story’s wack
Their budget for the next year probably depended on how many boxes of milk they could push
@@rodschmidt8952 “Dang these kids at that school are running through milk like crack Addicts. Give that school more money!”
The lady is Not a school
As a vegan the mandatory milk would be my worst nightmare lol
Great video as always! I'm from the Netherlands the country of cheese/milk. In the 90s our schools had some sort of subscriptions that in our lunchbreak (we bring our own food) everyone at school gets milk. I always found this super odd.
That's explain why nearly all Dutch are so tall.
Same here, wanna say MUUUH🐄
This is still a thing in Norway
@@crusader8331 Didn't like milk and cheese as a child, only some drinking yoghurt, but nevertheless got 1.90m.
@elfrjz I said in captions that we have to bring our own food. We don't have canteens.
I just want to take a moment to appreciate your set. The colours, the symmetry, the depth, the lighting. All so perfect. Great job guys!
I don't love the colors, not soothing, not elegant, they seem indie and more active that I like. Also don't see the symmetry, and maybe too cluttered. But depth is nice and content was good.
@@RobMedellinwtf how do you see things in such detail, how is life for your kind of people lol
This video has brought a lot of deeper thought to an already widely covered topic. Kept me interested from start to finish!
The worst thing about modern "American" (I'm Australian and we have much the same problem) milk was watching you pour the milk from the carton and seeing how thin watery and see through it is. proper milk isn't like that, but what they put in the bottle has already had most of the good stuff stripped out for cream butter and cheese production. Just like Kraft cheese is a pale imitation of proper real cheese.
Not true, milk is standardised so that the fat and protein components are the same for a consistent product. Cows produce milk with different chemical compositions depending on the time of the year and the quality of the feed. Unless you want your brand of milk to taste different throughout the year as the season changes.

@@lukesantamaria94 your point is valid about fat content. However some milk will have more solids than others, depending mostly on the breed but also the diet. Skim milk from a Jersey cow will be less watery than whole milk from a Holstein.
During lunch as a kid I always felt sick after eating. Turns out it was the milk that was given out as the drink. Juice was also available but that always went first. Later I found out I was very lactose intolerant. I feel much better today on a day to day basis now that I avoid all things dairy.
I was in the same boat!! I was always bloated and gassy. This was everyday, because they give you milk (to this day) for every meal in school!!! I didn't realize until after I graduated high school that I was lactose intolerant 🙃..
easy, drink a small cup everyday like 10-20ml to coffee/chocolate, now i can tolerance to milk/lactose, same to sea food, teach your body to tolerance not to avoid all of it
Be careful with juice too given at school. Lots of sugar.
You just weak.
milk is only for babies until they start growing theeth
I am immensely in love with this guy storytelling and well-investigated information. Thank you so muchhhhhhhhhh
I've been binge-watching your videos, Johnny, for about 3 months. I find them very enlightening. You are an excellent journalist. A video on alcohol consumption would really be appreciated. According to the WHO, amongst legal and illegal drugs, alcohol is the one that causes most social damage.
Keep up the great work!!!
It's funny how, when I first tried "american cheese" (I'm foreigner, only got to try that at 17) I couldn't help thinking that was the only thing in America that looked, felt and taste like it was produced in the Soviet Union... now I know why 😂
I see what you mean 😂even if you hear the phrase "government cheese" out of context might expect it to be referring to Soviet cheese 😂good point ☝i.e. regardless of whose government it is, a government-produced (sponsored/supported) food product might tend to be bland and not delicious. Excellent comment 👏
It’s quite revolting, to be sure
I grew up in Europe and moved to the US at 17 so American "cheese" is pretty revolting to me but people here grew up with it so they don't think anything of it. BTW the same thing happens with white "bread", "chocolate", "mustard" and other "foods" that would make a European who grew up on baguettes, Milka, Dijon etc. wanna throw up. That said, poor people are more likely to consume those cheap foods, and quality stuff IS available if you're willing to pay actual money. Like you can buy a loaf of "bread" for $1 but also actual bread for $3+

I am lactose intolerant, pasteurization also removes the digestive enzymes within the milk itself and when I was able to get a hold of unpasteurized milk for a while. I never had lactose issues with unpasteurized milk. Then when I had to return to pasteurized, the lactose issues came right back 😢.
you have pasteurized lactose free milk buddy.
@@bodigames also known as white water
@@wezerd yea I love adding water to my coffee in the morning
Good to see someone in these comments who knows what they are talking about 👍
Intolerance to lactose is due to pasteurisation, it kills the beneficial bacteria that facilitate the production of the lactase enzyme in the small intestine. Many indigenous cultures still consume animal milks without issue. I used to be severely “lactose intolerant” until I tried raw milk. We are mammals, we can consume another mammals milk and utilise the highly bioavailable nutrients within it at any stage of life. Common sense 👍
@@bodigamesNo, he has raw milk , buddy.
The food pyramid we all grew up with is practically the exact OPPOSITE of what our diet is supposed to be, the US government is completely untrustworthy on this stuff.
go eat butter on a stick then
Absolutely RIGHT my carnivore/ketovore/animal based friend! Raw milk and fermented dairy is the only form for safe intake. In moderation of course.
Yep! All bread and dairy, I now mostly avoid both.
I’m actually curious so what’s the TRUE food pyramid ? Or what type of diet was it supposed to be
I know, right? Your diet ought to be based on sugar, salt and fat and you should eat as few vegetables and fruit as possible. An opposite pyramid, that's what we need.
I found out that I have been allergic to cow's milk all my life. My doctor told me that is the reason most people get allergies later in life. Being introduced to cow's milk in the diet as a baby when the immune system isn't mature enough to handle it.
That makes no sense. Being around a lot of allergens and germs as a baby makes the immune system less likely to overreact.

There's been links with raw milk and children's growth in terms of preventing skin conditions. I believe you should see another doctor
I breastfed my daughter and when she turned 1 yrs old, I give her cow milk and she broke out in hives . I took her to the doctor and she is allergic to milk, eggs, fish and peanuts. She's 8 now and out grown the milk allergy but she hate cow milk , she drinks coconut milk.
@@aliciascott681 So genetic then.
We switched to raw unpasteurized whole milk about 15 years ago - much easier to digest, delicious, and helps regulate metabolism. We love it and have never gotten sick.
One of the unfortunate truths about being a biologist that I had to learn in my undergraduate studies was where the money comes from to actually fund any proposed research. So very much of it is from groups with lots of money and an agenda and when you pitch your research idea, you have to basically sell your research potential as a product: either as a way to make of save money. The other options are government funding which is a nightmare of red tape and can completely be just as biased or charities/special interest groups like WWF (panda not smackdown) who might have much more altruistic intensions but are equally as biased. So you have to juggle skewing your pitch to be as attractive as possible and then immediately turn around and be as unbiased and analytical as possible so you can practice good science (as you always should) and not get flagged during peer review. All this while under the realization that it's a "publish or perish" job market and if you keep getting "boring" results your career will go nowhere. I'm not saying that biologists who run the studies like the "bigger rats on milk" one in the video are unscrupulous just that there is this massive "sword of Damocles" hanging over all of our heads to produce results that will let us keep doing research. This isn't to say that we are all soulless, greedy puppets who produce false narratives for our benefactors; quite the opposite. Most of the biologists I know and have worked with are people with only the best intensions who pursue knowledge for it's own sake with an almost childlike desire to simply better understand the nature of living things and how they function for the betterment of everything and everyone but are forced to navigate the maze of biased capitalism and politics. An example I like to use is from a presentation I saw from a post-grad while I was doing my undergrad. It was basically "what happens to spiders in winter" it was basic and should be easy to find out, but the honest answer is that we have no evidence based idea what happens to them. I asked afterwards why we don't know and the simple answer was because there is profit in knowing: they aren't pests, we can't make new products or medicine from knowing, and they aren't big cuddly adorable mammals with a million people ready to protest for them. Simply put- we want to know but no one will give us the money.
All I'm reading here is "I don't have the spare time to research milk or what spiders do in winter" and both things are so prosaic and accessible that I wouldn't believe anyone's excuses why they don't know or aren't pursuing the questions if they also purport to be interested. I think those are interesting things to research and everyone can spend free time to investigate them. I have a feeling once you do the research and publish you might start attracting the corporate paymasters for some expository research in the fields of spiders and milk and then get that fat moolah you want so much; literally no amount of money obliges you to lie or be biased about anything. You might face consequences of the money faucet being turned off but isn't the world full of things to research? Like peanut butter. When was the last time someone did some great research into peanut butter. Peanut butter is a billion dollar industry. When Peanut Butter Bad from J. Harris productions?
Would you recommend pursuing a career in biology?
Damn. Now I really want to know what happens to spiders in winter!
I bet there are lots of politicians who would argue along the same lines "I want to help change the world for the better, but all the money and influence that it buys to create change, comes from lobbyist".....
A sellout is still a sellout
@@Elite244 Actual research that can be published isn't generally cheap to do, even for small prospective studies just to see if a topic has further research potential. It's not really an out-of-pocket thing in most cases. (Ironically, psych studies are actually some of the cheapest.) Also, as Lillith mentions, publishing is its own problem- because there aren't people with infinite free time to do peer review (which is generally an unpaid task), there is a limit to how many articles can and will be published in peer-reviewed publications. The bias there is towards papers that demonstrate some strong outcome- while there is great scientific value in studies whose conclusion is "We didn't find any statistically significant results", unless it is about something controversial, it will be hard to get published, at which time you have wasted the time and resources you used for the study, while some other researcher did one of the milk-fed rat studies, got a publication credit, and is now able to maybe get some funding for the research they want to do that doesn't involve milk, in addition to having a better shot at promotion and/or tenure.
If you do the spider study and all you can figure out is "they aren't in spots A, B, or C during the winter", that is great information, but it's not going to go anywhere but your own filing cabinet. A close friend of mine did a study funded by a local news station. He was testing the pushbars on grocery carts to see how germy they were. Turns out, the environment around here is so dry that it makes hard surfaces like that very inhospitable, and unless there was so much dampness that it would be obvious on the handles, germs lasted about two minutes. Unsurprisingly, that didn't make the news. They were looking for a shock study, and the fact that people could be calm about that particular hazard wasn't what they had use for.
There is a severe problem with inconclusive studies or ones that don't produce "interesting" or desired results being trashed, and all the time and resources the researchers put into it are just gone. Calling them lazy for wanting to avoid the career effects of repeatedly doing studies that don't get published just seems shallow to me.
Growing up my mother had to actually stop giving me milk within weeks of being born because they found out I was born with a milk allergy AND intolerance of it entirely. So.. Imagine growing up around all this, and having teachers trying to force me to a point my parents had to get a doctors note to say 'Hey, they have an actual allergy, DONT GIVE THEM DAIRY AT ALL'
I can imagine! I was born in Ukraine in post-soviets era and I remember that that was a trend at that time! My parents forced me to drink milk but I hated it and I hate it till today. I remember coming to smbs birthday and there has always been some milk on the table and everyone tried to force me having it 🤢 I am not lactose-intolerant, I just hate the smell and taste of it.

I grew up in Finland in early 2000's and the biggest dairy producer of the country was advertising drinking milk with posters in school cafeterias. And in primary school if you didn't drink milk during school lunch, teachers would look you badly and ask why.
I went to American middle school in 2013 & we also had milk posters in our cafeteria & the lunch lady would make sure we had either a serving of vegetable or milk on our plates

My friend is a food scientist who works for DMI, and was sent to Taco Bell for 10 years, she's just finished a 4 year stint at Kroeger - and her WHOLE JOB is getting more cheese into food. She is responsible for the taco bell products you love guys, a New Zealander employed by USDA and sent into places to shill for cheese. The irony is she is lactose intolerant!!!!
that's not ironic. Lactose intolerant people can eat some kinds of cheese, because the process removes lactose.
@@GameFuMaster”virtually lactose free” isn’t 100% lactose free. There are proteins in dairy that people struggle with as well like myself. I blowup like a blowfish when I eat dairy even goat milk has lactose. There’s more to this than “lactose intolerance” that people struggle with.
@@HeatherFarris sounds more like an allergy than lactose intolerance.
@@GameFuMaster I think intolerance in vastly understudied though in general.
@@GameFuMaster The irony is that a person who is lactose intolerant has a job to promote products that generally have lactose in them - to the extent that the product and lactose are all but synonymous. It'd be like someone allergic to caffeine being a coffee promoter. The fact that decaf coffee can exist does not reduce in any way the irony of that situation.
Great video! I am so glad that we are in the "oat/almond/coconut milk era" since I also grew up in the 90's where milk was waiting in the table right before school and lactose intolerance wasn't in the dictionary.
Coconut is good, 90% of all oat milk has Glyphosphate in it and almond is very high in lectins.
its not milk tho...its just high concentrate of sugar and water...
Meh, the fake milk era is stupid too. Just drink water if you're lactose intolerant. I'd say it's generally a good idea to limit the amount of weird stuff we drink.
The not milk milks are just as bad and sometimes worse than cow milk
@@felucca I personally try to consume filter water since tap water or even the one in bottles seem to be harmful.🤐 Everyday a new study pop-ups where everything is bad for your health and u should not consume

“American Cheese” sold in the UK can’t even legally be called cheese, I’ve got a pack here and it’s labelled ‘Processed slices made using a blend of cheese, palm oil and milk proteins’ 🤔

It fascinates me that big dairy is pushing cheese so hard but fast food places like taco bell and pizza hut seem to serve cheese-like substances that are mostly oil-based.
Because of cost... ...oil-based cost nothing in comparison.
Oil is liquid fat. Cheese has from .5-40% fat by volume. I’m calling BS if the cheese-like substance *isn’t* oily when heated.
Now I just want a Personal Pan Pizza. It’s like an oily cheese puddle. 🫠
The OP is right that these places often use emulsified products that contain cheese, but probably don't contain enough cheese to be legally called cheese. You can either hate it or embrace it.
Note: This is different from cheese that is heated and has the oil separate.
@@dannymac6368 I'm certainly not speaking from a thoroughly investigated / researched position, so all criticisms are valid. But my understanding is that most fast food cheese starts from an oil-based method combined with a cheese production method, with cheese being in far fewer abundance. Taco Bell for at least a decade seems to be trying to cut the cheese out altogether with the nacho cheese spread on most of their items.
Cheese is still much healthier than refined oil based "cheeses". especially if made from grass fed free range cows no antibiotics or steroids. But good luck finding that
Mr. Harris, if the govt is supporting the dairy farmers so well, WHY r so many dairy farms going under? In 2017 milk prices dropped to 1970's levels. They subsidize corn farmers. Why not dairy farmers? What occupation has the highest suicide rate? Dairy farmers. Why? Generational farms forced out of biz. Its tragic.

Great video! For the record, when I was a kid, I thought the same about Pasteurization (putting cows in the pasture I thought, and wondered what they were in prior to pastures) until we learned about Pasteur at school in grade 3 or 4 😂
Up to age 30 I thought it normal to have a sort of rope of mucus in the back of my throat most of the time. Then a friend told me much of what is in this video. So I stopped consuming milk except for cooking. Goodbye mucus. I was discussing this with a friend who's an opera performer and she said, "OMG, you didn't know that?

Its the bastard child of Cream, sour cream and creme fraiche and its delicious.
You have to abuse a cow and kill it’s baby to drink milk
As a Dutchie, I agree. There are just so many dairy products to choose from. However, milk does not seem to be too big here. I feel like cheese is by far the most consumed dairy product in the Netherlands.
Lol...I'm a full grown person and I still drink milk & eat skyr and cheeses lol
As a fellow milk drinking adult Swedish man, agreed.
Do you all pasteurize it multiple times until it has a shelf life of ten years like Americans do?
I don’t feel like the question of why is milk bad was answered fully.
Why is it bad? I get that there is not as much benefits as stated, but it is a good way to get vitamins and minerals, even if they add some. Only liquid better is water.
As a person from Switzerland I can definitely relate to this. We also have a big dairy industry that isn't competitive at all and just subsidized for it's own sake (while having huge marketing budgets of course). Though as always it's not quite as extreme as in the USA XD.
I'm from Italy and when I moved to the UK I was quite shocked but the amount of milk people drink or have it as an ingredient in so many things, people drinking tea with milk/lattes/cappuccinos at any time during the day, a culture shock!!
And you’re from the country of Alfredo and Parmesan 😭

Ok, S M, stop it with your Parmigiano and Pecorino cheese which seem to appear on a lot of your dishes. Don't forget to stop eating cannoli also.
A few years back, Canada’s Food Guide removed dairy products from the pyramid and it made national news. Basically said to drink more water and get vitamins from other spaces. Personally, i never liked milk. Only get it for my coffee and my cereals. My twin sister is lactose intolerant and my brother was intolerant to bovine proteins when he was young.

Hes putting out a propaganda, and the people in the comment section are also whitewashed who cant think for yourselves.
Humans are not baby cows. Cow's milk is for baby cows. Human milk is for human babies. Every mammal produces milk for the BABIES of its SPECIES.
Every adult is lactose intolerant, because humans stop making the enzyme lactase around the age of 4. But it's not just the milk sugar (lactose) that is bad for humans. It is also the proteins and the hormones. Milk from a cow is not designed for human consumption.
Sounds like a problem for only 20% of the world's population
I was working on my dissertation and didn't want to stop to eat. I like milk, so I just sat in front of my computer and drank milk for ten hours. At the end of the day, I felt terrible. I have diabetes, so I guessed correctly that the reason I didn't feel well was my blood sugar. I don't know exactly what my glucose level was because it maxed out the meter. I had always been taught that milk is healthy, and I never questioned the veracity of that claim. Turns out I might as well have been drinking soda or juice. Milk converts to sugar. Who knew?
I was born in 1972 and grew up in this milk era. Much to my parent’s chagrin I hated milk. They would push it on me constantly but it upset my stomach as did cheese. Eventually they gave up. I’m now 50, have never broken a bone despite being a very active person and don’t seem to have any health issues…other than being lactose intolerant 😂😂
milk from a cow actually is bad for bones, black beans are the best thing for bone strength.
And that's because you're not a cow .... Or a baby
"Despite" being a very active person? More like "because". Being active strengthens your bones and prevents health issues.

Growing up milking cows in rural Wisconsin, I'm glad someone as high profile as you is shining some light on the absolute craziness of the dairy market.

They just go grocery shopping like they were taught. So thank you very much 🤘
If anyone wants an alternative, there are tens of different types of plant milk and hundreds of brands. Most people either like oat milk soy milk or almond milk.

Milk is really good for you because it provides every nutrient your body needs. That's why mammals only drink milk for the first months of their lives, when they are the most vulnerable.

This guy is right about the government setting prices. This always leads to either a surplus or shortage. In the case of milk it led to a surplus because the price they set was above the going rate. This meant that more farmers were supplying milk than consumers were demanding it. This is because the higher price incentivizes producer to produce it but disincentivizes the demand for it. Demand goes down, supply goes up = surplus, too much milk. This is always true of price controls. It’s true of minimum wage, it’s true of rent controls. All price controls wreak havoc.
I remember spending entire primary and secondary school years squirming in pain due to lactose intolerance. It was not until one day I decided to drink black coffee instead of milk coffee and felt wonderful. That was when I realized milk was not meant for me and cut down pretty much as 95% of my milk consumption since. Best decision of my life 😂
Good for you. I think I'm somewhat lactose intolerant, but just got used to it. Went vegan and cheated once and realized that I felt like shit after eating just a slice of cheese. Very strange feeling realizing you've been harming yourself for decades. I have somewhat unconsciously decreased my dairy consumption slowly overtime because I noticed harmful effects after a ton of dairy and just thought it was normal, but intuitively felt it wasn't the healthiest thing to eat for me. It's pretty insane they've been pushing dairy like this in a multicultural country when most of the world shouldn't be consuming the stuff.

I tried explaining to her that it never really had all the benefits most people think it does, but she kept reprimanding me.

And People in India got their milk digesting genes from the same place Europeans did! We even have shared linguistic heritage from our common ancestors.
@@Bacopa68 people from the pontic-Caspian steppe.
Although the Yamnaya expansion and common ancestry to modern day Indians and Europeans are just some sort of shared ancestry
Like in Europeans the genetic composition is EEF, (Eearly European farmers) WHG(West Hunter-Gatherer) and Steppe-like ancestry (Yamnaya) and in Indians Although they have ancestry from the Pontic-Caspian Steppe like modern Europeans, the rest of theirs genetic background is different.
Don't people from India see cows as almost family? I'd imagine drinking cow milk is kinda a grey area right?
Milk has a lot of protein and protein consumption is actually correlated with height. That also explains why states like Punjab and Haryana where people drink significantly more milk, have the tallest people in India.
I knew most of this stuff but I never realized that fast food chains and the dairy industry were in cahoots to add more cheese to their products. Wow
Cheese really sells itself. They just capitalized on it.
Can you imagine if we could rebuild the world with our current knowledge and not rely on old beliefs and governments that will NEVER admit that they were wrong even decades ago?

This story is so important to more than just milk. This is happening in so many US industries: cars, airlines, and now housing. We’re often given to conspiratorial thoughts about these government interventions but just as with milk the story usually starts from a place of need and limited government action (feeding troops) but is quickly exploited by people with an agenda.
This is exactly what happened after the housing collapse and is occurring now with massive conglomerates and investors gambling on the prices of homes fully expecting the government to bail them out so that people won’t go homeless.
We need serious government reform of food, transportation and housing in our country and we can’t continue to be distracted by nonsense that doesn’t actually affect our lives.
I don't disagree. Government does one thing - it effs things up. BTW - the '08 housing crises was created by then-president Bill Clinton's (BTW - Clinton's *real* surname is Blythe) HUD director, Cuomo, mandating all quasi-government lending institutes write 50% of loans as sub-prime loans. You know, someone flipping burgers at McDonalds *could* be making 200K per years... (wink, wink). Oh, and now Xiden's quasi-government housing loans will penalize people with good credit to pay more for their loans than people with bad credit as to subsidize loan payments for those with bad credit. B-b-b-b-b-but my senator is really a good senator...! */s*
My grandparents are dairy farmers. They don't actually drink milk themselves just sell it. I just find it funny.
It's also interesting you mention cars in need of reform. In the US car manufacturers are pushing for larger and larger cars/trucks and telling us we need vehicles that large. Yet my farming grandparents get by with significantly smaller trucks from the 90s ( sides tractors of course ).
I'm actually a part of a research group that studies ruminants in cattle. It turns out that factory farms feed their cows all kinds of food they shouldn't be eating and the microbes inside their digestive tract produce significant amounts of greenhouse gas. (You should look it up).
However if you do what my grandparents do and let the cattle walk around the field and eat grass they don't produce as much greenhouse gas and are healthier/ live longer.
Something will always be getting pushed. If it’s not oil, then it’s renewables. If it’s not milk, then it’s Meatless Mondays. Unless you have a completely hands-off government that gives no guidance or assistance to any industry, in other words a purely Libertarian country, then you’re going to be fed something with an agenda. Literally.
A video on those subjects would have been a lot more informative than one about otherwise awesome milk. This specific video was extremely limited in value.
"Quickly exploited by people with an agenda"
...So a conspiracy.
I would like to add that milk is a source of calcium, which you can get from other sources, but what you did not mention is that vitamins and calcium from plant based sources are typically harder to absorb. That is why vegan diets do not last long and can negatively affect your health, as many are not getting the proper vitamins and minerals. Yes, veggies have vitamins and minerals and you can take manufactured supplements, but humans absorb more from animal products and maintain better nutrition that way.
Channels like these are so important, keep going

One of the earliest and most widely cited early studies “against” milk from the late 1990’s compared soy milk and dairy milk consumption.

Many people don't realize that cows have to be pregnant and give birth to produce milk. The male calves are often killed since they don't produce milk. And the process is hard on the moms that are constantly pregnant and then have their calves taken, and pumped for as much milk as they can produce.

@@ThatVeganTeacherUA-cam "A dietary pattern preferring dairy products was associated with increased survival in Tokyo-area centenarians." 2003 article title: Dietary patterns and further survival in Japanese centenarians. Good quality dairy like they have in Japan is a natural source of Vitamin A1, B12, K2, Iodine, C15:0, Sphingolipids, Omega 7 and Carnosine, all 8 which destroy cancer cells and protect the heart. Plant based industrial factory milks have none of those natural 8 nutrients which is why industrial plant milk is the worst for your health and the worst for the environment.
@@beepbeepnj2658 Keep promoting good fresh milk, and I'll back you all the way.
Milk, milk, good for everything. Your teeth, your heart and your liver. Not to mention your entire digestion. Keep it up. 😂🤗
@@toni4729 I am not promoting anything, I am just sharing some facts about Japan and why the Japan school lunch system does not serve plant based milks to the students.
In health class in high school we had to build a balanced plate for a project and we had to put two sources of dairy. I’m lactose intolerant but I wasn’t allowed to not put something so my teacher made me lie on my project.
As if the point wasn't to learn a skill you can use for yourself (or people with various restrictions)! "Education" sometimes! Smh.
This is PEAK education. Did they even acknowledge you had an intolance?
@@astecheee1519 do they need to?why?
The teacher taught u well, lies is part of the process of being successful
What torment! Your suffering is unparalleled in human history. Asswipe.
I'm convinced this root of a bunch of this country's problems is LIES. I was a teen during that Got Milk campaign. All the dairy companies banning together for one ad campaign made me suspicious. I stopped drinking for the most part after that, though I relapsed during pregnancy.
Ask why the Dutch and the Maasai are so tall. What do they consume? The countries that do not drink milk as you say, what is their height on average?
India
What a stupid conclusion.
@@dwaynekeenum1916 Indians consume milk but they are vegetarians. Dutch have a better diet
Both these people eat more meat especially red meat than any people in the world, and i think that's another factor why they are bigger and taller
The only truth I need to know is if there's a good amount of quality protein in it. The rest of that BS I could gaf about
I always thought it was weird how milk was considered a food group with things like fruits and vegetables, and I remember my health teacher in jr. high showing us pictures of families from different cultures with the food they ate laid out in front of them and pointing out how they were missing dairy products when they ate healthier food than what the american was eating.
They were missing dairy because most of the world is lactose intolerant...damn ameridumbs really know nothing!
I have read that men who do not drink milk do not get prostate cancer. I have also read that women who do not drink milk do not get breast cancer.
That’s evidence of nothing
@@WSFM_Rex Men who do not drink milk do not get prostate cancer. Women who do not drink milk do not get breast cancer! What is that evidence of???
That's not why they don't consume milk. In most areas of the world without European ancestry people can't digest lactose, therefore they don't drink milk.
I loved when my lactose intolerant 5-year-old was told drinking milk would be great for his growth by his pediatrician, who then handed me a brochure from the National Dairy Council 😂 2 years later I’m still shook 🙄
Raw milk won't cause lactose intolerance because it has lactase in it which helps your body digest lactose. Pasteurized milk destroys the lactase and the probiotics and the enzymes making it unhealthy garbage.
Kind of like when my perfectly healthy son's pediatrician told me he should get experimental gene therapy and handed me a brochure from a company that makes big dairy look like a popsicle stand.
@@amarissimus29 that’s crazy!
Wow, you shake easily
@@notreally2406 lol just imagine the amount of people that would blindly go with that recommendation and not check the very small logo on the back.
Here in Australia you can always buy glass bottle cokes at basically every shop . You can even get diet and no sugar glass ones and they 100% taste better , something about that glass 😋
The effort put in the video is crazy!
Be smarter. Be kinder. Be saner. Be vegan. Start now.
