    Why is there such hatred for dairy?

    Agreed, however shouldn't we classify milk then as being a contributor to diseases such as diabetes, all other B.S. aside? While the glycemic index and load are low, regarding insulin milk acts similarly if a large amount of carbohydrates were consumed, calories aside. Basically what I am...
