Post by: candidizzle on July 23, 2008, 03:53:01 PM: i dont know if i ever said that, but its causes water retention because milk sugar (lactose) is very difficult to breakdown. ( at least thats what i read somewhere ::) lol )

i drink skim milk all day long and put it in all my meal (i eat alot of cereal and oatmeal).... slow digesting casein and slow digesting lactose... i think its a good combo
