Zaino, I feel inclined to warn you that your threads and posts are trending towards Hellblazer/LukeP territory.
Gave up milk all together about 5 years ago and went to the organic rice milk. Get it by the case at Costco. Love it now. Still consume dairy (cheese/sour cream etc) but just no more cow milk for us. Kids are totally good on the rice milk. I didn't think I would like it but after using it for a while, I would never go back.
If you have allergies, sinus issues or digestion problems then cutting out milk is probably going to be a positive step.
+1 to the almond milk. We drink that too. Great in smoothies. I prefer the rice milk for cereal but kids love the chocolate almond milk.
I think the trigger for me was watching a documentary about cows milk and showing how it was essentially a large part made up of cow mucus.

The Environmental Protection Agency has known about the existence of inorganic arsenic in our soil for over 45 years, mostly from the use of pesticides. It seems that lead arsenate insecticides, used until they were banned in the 1980’s, left a lingering effect in our soil and still may be contaminating our food products to this day.
According to a news release on 9/19/12, the FDA is proactively researching and collecting data that should produce solid scientific findings by late 2012:
“The FDA is in the process of collecting and analyzing a total of approximately 1,200 samples to examine the issue thoroughly. This data collection will be completed by the end of 2012. Once the data collection is completed, FDA will analyze these results and determine whether or not to issue additional recommendations.”
