I guess you haven't actually thought through what he wrote.

He pretty much spelled it out, I thought.

Why would you say something is wrong and then
a couple of sentences later, confirm that it is true?

Difficult to have a discussion with tactics like that.
Let spell it out again
The wrong bit was "sugar"
The right bit was "glucose"
sugar does not equal glucose
Put another way, all glucose is sugar but not all sugar is glucose.
Re-read the post and if it still unclear let me know and I will ask AT to explain

Re: Regular Whole Milk Questions

Jumping in late on this thread...

I would consider myself a foodie...not the snobbish type but the type that loves food.

I would cook almost every evening - and if not cooking then taking something out of the freezer that was cooked lreviously in large amounts and reheating it.

As a byproduct of cooking everythin we use little if any processed foods.

High fructose corn syrup is a far worse evil than Milk and is really avoidable if one cooks for oneself instead of letting the food industry cook for you.

We are also lucky to live in Ireland and the meat and dairy here is almost unparalled in its quality and unadulterated nature.

If one wishes to drink milk, even the worst kind full of additives amd from effectively sick cows, as is found in high production environments, then so be it.

There are soany things we can do to stay healthy - we dont have to be perfect, if you have a "vice" as long as you make an effort to be healthy you will be.

Moderation in all things also means moderation in our attempts to perfectly remove all the ills from our diet.

Re: Regular Whole Milk Questions

Going back to the original question: regular, "day", refrigerated, non-UHT milk tastes and smells vastly different in different countries. In some countries it has the taste of fresh milk from the cow, in others it distinctly smells of poo and urine, in yet others it tastes bland, like skim milk. UHT milk has a more uniform taste outside the US.

Also, when looking at milk in refrigerators, be sure to read the package well. Some countries store UHT milk in the fridge. In other countries, most notably island nations, milk in the fridge is powdered milk dissolved in water. Ingredients usually specify which country the milk powder comes from.

I'd suggest carrying a supply of HUT milk that you like (or will grow to like), and experimenting with new milk as you see fit. New experiences are a part of cruising

Most current latest research is not actually showing that. "Public Health" is recommending it, but its not backed by science.
The big change in the last few years is the understanding that all sugars have increasingly been consumed and all sugars are creating the adverse outcomes of heart disease, arterial disease, diabetes, and even Alzheimer's.

So some might feel they can find a difference between table sugar and fruit sugar and corn sugar, but there is no real difference. They are all killing us.

In the new world of research carbohydrates, like eating pasta, are the danger things to avoid... Not "moderate" but to avoid until one is fit, skinny and has low blood pressure and triglycerides (and done without statins or artificially lowered cholesterol).

Yes, its new, yes its still controversial, but yes its the way we need to look at sugar.

This research about the detrimental role of carbohydrates in Alzheimer's gives a good read.

Theres a new study showing whole milk is much better for the cardiovascular the low fat milk... If only i could find it!

Re: Regular Whole Milk Questions

Folks, most of you seem to be missing the fact that the OP grew up on a dairy farm and loves to drink whole milk. All she wanted to know was whether she could hope to find it available while cruising, not endless lectures on the evils of drinking it. I doubt that all the doom and gloom posts are going to change her mind.

Thanks, Mark, for at least a little encouragement, though the OP has probably stopped reading this thread long ago.

Regular Whole Milk Questions

Mark,

You seemed to have missed the moderation part. Thise studies reference "high" carbohydrate diets - that by definition is not moderation.

Additionaly we can only metabolise glucose from carbs, and require carbs to function.

Regardless of whether you get carbs from vegetables or pasta does not really matter as long as you regulate the amount of carbs you intake per day.

RecogniIng that issues with flour and wheat being a seperate matter of discussion against pasta however.

Is t that the way these threads tend to wander though?

We also have lovely milk here in Ireland, but I cant stand the "sweetness" that seems to pervade the UHT stuff I have found in places like Brazil, central America, South east Asia and my guess would be that the OP will look to try the variations of milk in these places but be bitterly dissappointed and will either decide to tolerate it or not.

I put UHT milk in my coffee but couldnt imagine drinking a glass of it.

Hard questions! One stupid solution is to buy some at each place you stop while sailing.
