I wonder how much the dairy board paid the FDA officials to put that in there. It's proposterous to believe that grown animals need to continue to drink milk to be healthy.I drink milk because Froot Loops don't taste as good in water or coke. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />And no one has given me any scientific evidence to show that drinking gobs and gobs of water will help you lose weight. I'm still waiting on that. Oh, I've seen a lot of guesses and speculation, but nothing scientific. I'm just not buying that one.And this idea that we need to drink 8 glasses of water a day is also hogwash. I don't think I've ever drank 8 glasses of anything in a single day, except for that 1 time in my life I got drunk. Yes, once. Getting drunk is not high on my list of things to do.My belief is that the body will tell me when I should have a drink, and so forcing water down myself all the time is simply a waste of time, and has about as much credibility to as say astrology, or palmistry.</blockquote>
