Hi,
This site has been an eye-opener for me. I have recently moved toward a vegetable based diet vs. meat 'n milk. I feel great.

Do you believe this site exaggerates the risks?
I realize there are health issues as well as ethical issues. I would prefer for responses to concentrate on the health issues. Of note to me is having direct experience with some of the issues caused by milk: arthritis (myself as well as family members), autism (my daughter, I discussed the health issues from milk with her, and this of course, has caused her to perseverate on the risk of cow's milk: hence my asking your opinion), prostate cancer (my brother, father and grandfather).

I was a big milk drinker (loved the taste/was comfort food) am loving feeling better; should I keep my decision to myself or become a non-dairy evangelist?
