Milk?

According to the narrative, Sebastian Howard was confused about whether or not milk is supposed to be good for humans. He then set out on a two-year journey to find the answer. He interviews industry veterans, food scientists, dietitians, proponents of veganism, and more in his heartfelt search for the truth.

Now, I don't know for sure how representative this narrative is to the man's real motives, but I believe it. Why? Because at the end, he admits to being just as confused as he was when he started. He advocates that people look into the matter themselves and interpret the data as best they can. I can't remember the last time I've seen such an unbiased documentary!

True, I don't tend to trust the anti-milk scientists all that much (they interview the guy behind "The China Study," a book which is pretty much useless, for instance). That's hardly the point, though. The most prominent people on all sides of the debate (pro milk, anti milk, pro raw, pro pasteurized) are given their time, and it's our job to judge their credibility.

Hopefully, in a few years we'll have more iron-clad scientific data on the subject. Until then, this documentary is a good place to start when looking into the subject.
