Shaking Milk

Marp — Mon, 12 Dec 2016 15:49:55 GMT

Growing up our milk came directly from the cow into the kitchen to be pasteurized then bottled; it was not homogenized. When older milk was delivered but still was not homogenized so the cream always rose to the top and we would shake the bottle to mix.

Today, it is very difficult to find milk that has not been homogenized in stores but I still shake the bottle/jug.

Anyone else still shake?

Yes! Absolutely no reason to but I've always done it anyway.

Yes, I shake my almond milk because the carton says I should.

We still get milk delivery right from the dairy and I always shake those glass bottles.

Never drank milk my whole life. Don't plan on starting either.

I'm jealous!!! I miss those days. Do you have the option to receive non-homogenized milk?

We're the only mammal on the planet that drinks another mammal's milk. Milk is for infants, period. Personally, I don't drink the stuff .... also, it's too high in sugar.

I shake, out of habit - been doing it my entire life. I have a tall glass of Fairlife milk everyday. It has half the sugar, more protein, more calcium, no lactose, and tastes fabulous!

Never heard of shaking milk.

We don't drink milk in our house. The thought of it makes me gag

I shake my milk because you have to. It's organic grass fed and it's in a glass bottle. It's from Trickling Springs - they only heat the milk to a certain temp so it kills the bad bacteria off, but it doesn't destroy the nutrients in the milk.

@Kachina624, we only use almond milk and yes, it does say that on the carton.

DH uses it in his cereal and I use a tiny bit in my coffee.

@Tinkrbl44

I grew up drinking lots of milk as a child. No issues. I quit drinking it as an adult because of the high milk sugar content as you mentioned. I like you drink almond or cashew or flax milk with low carb and sugar. I noticed a new milk brand Fairlife has half the sugar and more protein like the Greek yougert has. This is good news for people that still drink milk

@sunshine45, ha ha! Surely you are speaking of my husband! He is also known to NOT REPLACE LIDS securely, of many things (think OJ - talk about a sticky mess).

We drink lots of cow's milk. So what? My teeth are very strong, for one thing, my coffee and smoothie are tasty and are protein sources. I have often wondered where DH got the whole milk shaking thing from. I am neither diabetic nor overweight and I have, so far, good bone density.

True.

It would be Spock-Logical if, as adults, we drank human milk,

but cow's milk? Why not pig, horse, giraffe milk?

As for cow's milk for infants, more & more studies are showing...

introducing an infant to cow's milk makes them highly susceptible

for Type 1 Diabetes....not 2, but Type 1. Parents risk that day in/day out

with their children today. Wow.

I stopped drinking milk in Junior High School. My skin was breaking out and my mom took me to a derm who told her to remove the dairy from my diet and see if it helped. It was like a miracle and my skin cleared completely. To this day I thank that doctor because my skin although sensitive aged well...

Both my children were allergic to the protein in dairy and had to be given formula without milk in it. They suffered no issues because of it.

In answer to your question, Marp, I still remember as a very small child asking for the cream on the top of the milk bottles delivered to our home. We never shook it....
