I was reading Franco Columbo's book, he said, milk is the number one food that promotes allergic reaction, from the photos in his book, he shows no detail in his muculature after milk allergies. I don't want to look flat, and have a layer of fat skin over my muscles. Also the farming practices of injecting cows with mucho hormones for cows to produce milk, might have harmful consequences ingesting the milk this way? Anyways, I have gained some fat ever since introducing whole, and 2% fat milk to my diet. Milk also has a calming effect, on anxiety for me.
