Last night on Larry King Live:
Lance Armstrong and his doctors discussing nutrition and health. I caught the tail end of their unfortunate conversation about milk but looked up the transcript this morning. The following is a transcript of their milk comments. Copyright CNN.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
HEATHER MILLS, ACTIVIST: I'm in the middle of doing a nutrition degree at the moment. I don't quite understand how so many doctors don't understand the dangers of dairy. What's your opinion on the dangers of dairy?
(END VIDEO CLIP)
KING: Sanjay?
GUPTA: Well, you know it's interesting; human beings are one of the only species that actually drink milk of another species. And I think...
KING: Really?
GUPTA: Yes. When you think about, we cow milk. Who else does that?
KING: Cats.
GUPTA: Yes, cats do as well. That's a good point.
KING: That's it, right?
GUPTA: We give it to the cats, but you know they actually...
KING: We don't even know if they like it.
GUPTA: We're not sure. But I think that and the fact they have so many people, 30 to 50 million people who are lactose intolerance, I think Heather's onto something here. I think there is something about dairy.
Look, low fat dairy can be a great source of Vitamin D, a great source of calcium. Women worry about this as they get old, certainly, with osteoporosis. But a lot of kids are allergic to dairy. It's been implicated in a lot of different processes. You know I think it's something to be looked into.
KING: Do you agree, Bob?
GREENE: Pretty much across the board. There are alternatives, soy milk. I have one that uses an eight continent soy milk in the book. It's a great for breakfast. One of the best things you can do as an alternative. And if you are going to have milk, which I think is a good source of calcium, go with the 1 percent or even better skim.
