Is it healthy to drink 1 litre of pasteurised milk everyday?
-
iRabbit, 1 litre sounds a little too much. My kids also drinks a litre, but it's 2 or 3 of them combined woah.
Though they all sometimes \"drink milk like water\", the outcome quite different.
#1 is tall and lean like a beanpole without an ounce of fat, #2 is turning slightly pouchy in the middle(!) and #3 used to be chubby but is outgrowing her baby fats. All drink the same milk... :skeptical: -
My son used to guzzle milk like that when he was in pre-school. Get indigestion…

same here. my son almost finished the entire pack of magnolia fresh milk and had indigestion...was burping the whole night :slapshead: -
My son takes milk very well. No ingestion nor growing sideways so I’m happy for him to continue. Milk is not like soft drinks whereby too much is determental to health right?

How old is he? If he's a teenager, and eating well and growing well, then I guess it's OK. But he may need to cut back once he stops growing or he'll get fat! The only other downside will be if it's inhibiting his eating of solid food, which is not good if he's young. -
My son drinks packet milk, milo, soybean milk, etc. like water. He’s still as skinny as a bean stalk.

Ds is 11 going 12 this year. I'm actually happy he's taking so much milk and eating well too until my dw wondered whether too much calcium intake is a good thing.iRabbit:

But packet milk and milo are sweeter right? I won't allow ds to drink 1 litre of milo daily, that's for sure.
Every time I go NTUC, I'll have to get 4 2-litres Meji milk as they will only last a week, and boy, they're heavy. -
Around 4yr old onwards, both my kids stopped powdered milk & started pasteurized milk. Typically each takes about 0.75L per day (3 cups @ Morning, afternoon, night). So they did so for about 8 years until Secondary Sch. Right now they still drink minimum 2 cups a day. So far no issues. The boy is tall and lanky. The girl is average height but above average weight.
So I guess it all depends on what other stuff they take on top of the milk.
