Experiment with rugby players. Milk vs 'sports drink with no protein'. Discuss.
Milk would probably win.
erm. not a surprise to anyone who ever bought a recovery drink.
i mean for goodness shakes come from tesco - not some a specialist sports shop!
5 mins of being treated like I had an IQ of 7 had me switching off....
Not a great shock really is it given what it's purpose is.
Poor Boblo was it too intellectual? 😀
Milk as a recovery drink, dammit I was hoping red wine was going to be the answer. The presenter is HOT! She can patronise me as much as she likes....
Initial research done some years ago (2006 ish I think). More recent research by a number of other institutions backed up the findings that chocolate milk is the ideal recovery drink after a hard bout of intense aerobic exercise. Although I am sure Strawberry or banana flavoured milk would be just as good.
And now crisps are ok as well! And chocolate is not addictive.
Chocolate milk will always be brtter than banana or strawberry.
Crisps fat and salt content has changed massively over the last few years but like anything it's moderation. The programme seemed to be about killing some of the myths, did people really believe chocolate was addictive?
Bovril and Milk FTW
British Brainwashing Corporation strikes again with its Misleading programmes and dodgy reserch 🙄
It's been quite well publicised for a long time that milk is a superb recovery drink. I wish they served it by the pint in pubs.
they did'nt mention the hormones and antibiotics in the milk tho did they? or the small percentage of Pus either! yea Pus.
nonsense. milk good for baby cows, bad for adult humans. we'll be having that stupid colostrum debate again soon, it comes round every few years.
Mmmmm! Pus.
Unfortunately it's not really ethical or viable to have farms full of women so cows milk will have to do. Keep meaning to try goats milk actually.
I love milk, used to drink a whole 4 pint bottle in one go after various forms of strenuous physical exercise in my first couple of years at Uni. Probably going to get horrible gall stones or something when I am older 😕
I'm a goat's milk man myself. Love it and they don't make so much methane.
they did'nt mention the hormones and antibiotics in the milk tho did they? or the small percentage of Pus either! yea Pus.
Are you serious? Milk has to be tested for antibiotic residue by law.
Meh. At least its tasty pus!

The super growth hormone that causes mastitis is not allowed in the european food chain.
I bet Lawnmanmax believes the urban myth if the chicken burger and the abscess.
I mostly only watched it due to the presenter but yeah not exactly rocket science with the milk but I guess might be news to non-sports people. Wasn't really fair comparing it with a carb-based energy drink either - do people (even rugby players...) really use those as a recovery drink?
they should have had a third group using beer as a recovery drink
Milk vs 'sports drink with no protein'.
So Milk vs 'Tea with 5 sugars' 😀

If professional rugby players are drinking Lucozade (or very similar as it appeared) as a recovery drink they could do with 5 minutes with a nutritionist.
didnt see this and its kinda difficult to tell from the posts above if its worth watching on iPlayer?
It is worth watching as the presenter is hot.
proper rugby players use Guinness for recovery - takes all knocks and pains away!
Big fan of milk but comparing the calcium content with that of a banana seemed a little odd and did rather set the scene for the rest of the debates!
Lawmanmx - Oh dear!
Bovril and Milk FTW
hhhhhhhm a nice frothy bovriluccino
Mars refuel always works for me. Well, it tastes nice & that's all the excuse I need to drink it!
[i]Are you serious? Milk has to be tested for antibiotic residue by law[/i]
Ah, the blind faith of the public, that the Gov is looking out for us and protecting us from big Agra, big Pharma and the fast food pedallers.
Test milk for residues, and you will find them.
It then becomes a bun-fight over what [i]levels[/i] of residues are [i]acceptable[/i].
Once you start on that path, I feel things grow very dark indeed.
I was recently flamed and pitch forked for merely suggesting that drinking milk might not be your favourite pastime, esp were you to know what is really in it.
Now, another person ^^^^ posts that pus will be prescent in milk and the disbelief is exclamied.
Check it, Cows milk will contain levels of antibiotics, debris and organisms from the cows udders.
Also, cows are fed grain as well as grass.
Some, more grain, than others.
That grain will not be subject to the same tests / standards were it destined for human consumption.
That grain will have herbicide, pesticide and fertilizer residue on it.
Which will be consumed by the cow and will eventually make it to the milk.
Fact of the matter is, theres a large degree of difference between milk produced for being milk (cows feed grass only and drug free), and that which is mass produced for super markets, to a cost.
Furthermore, while pasteurization [b]may kill most bacteria[/b], its not so clear if bacterial endospores are destroyed also.
And then theres the whole raw milk debate.
But just one big question.
Have you ever stopped and wondered whether there may have been a time when man didn't drink the milk from another speices, which he has since managed to manipulate to give us the modern cow ?.
Cows milk. Its for Cows.

My girlfriend did actually say "That's amazing!" but seeing as milk is known for being full of calcium, and bananas really aren't that's not really that impressive!
Blimey - the level of tin hat wearers round here never ceases to amaze me!
Apparently some grocers sell vegetables with dirt on - now that can't be healthy can it?

Errr, Right !.
And you're not wearing any blinkers or owt.... Are you.
🙄
Solo, when you drink water from a tap other people have urinated it out. Perhaps several people.
And you're not wearing any blinkers or owt.... Are you.
WGAS? It's clearly not causing major problems!
considering the amount of beer and jagermeister I drink,
Milks the least of my worries 🙂
Even if you grow your own veg, you can't be sure what the birds that shit on them, have eaten 😮 🙂

What, drinking milk or wearing blinkers, blindly believing that if its on the shelf in Tesco, that it must be good for you.
I am staggered at the ferocity and ignorance displayed with regard to drinking cows milk.
I don't drink cows milk now and I don't care what you drink.
But perhaps people might wonder whether they should spout off about milk being so good for them when they know so very little about it.
Don't take your frustrations out on me, because you don't know shyte about what you're eating and drinking.
The info is out there for all of you to sift through.
If you can be arsed stop jackin-off on forums and actually educate your ignorant, dumb, asses.
😀
Don't mean to piss on your fire or anything Solo but I reckon I do know quite a lot about milk production.
It's a bit of a pet hate of mine that people with very little, highly opinionated and in some cases, completely wrong, opinions feel the need to spout off on stages like this. If you feel the world is out to get you then fine, that's your opinion. Just don't think that more level minded folk have to agree with you.
edit - sorry if that comes across as aggressive but it winds me up and it's been a long morning. I'm not going to placate it with a "smiley" though coz that would just be patronising 😆
I read an article recently that showed that regular milk drinking calms the nerves and reduces tetchiness.
Having said that, I read another article that milk drinkers have a greater tendency to make things up.
Saying the information is out there makes you look like a conspiracy theorist as do hackneyed phrases like Big Pharma, not posting links suggests you are not as well read as you suggest or don't want the veracity of your sources to be questioned, and posting a smiley doesn't undo an insult. Some of us forum idiots are scientifically trained and would welcome informed debate and evidence, questioning sources be it you or anything else doesn't mean we are gullible, it means the opposite.
