I remember reading somewhere that soy milk makes your thyroid not work as much, I imagine that could be a bad thing if you're trying to grow.

hey rlly? i didn't know that, but im sticking to milk tho

Well thats not a problem for me I drink cows milk, anyone here tried goats milk? apparently theres more fat in it.

i hav, but i didn't rlly like the taste tho, n plus its a little thick...n i think that drinking milk that has tons of fat wont be good for growth, not rlly sure the exact reasons, but it has something to do with reducing GH

If your thyroid isnt working I doubt its related to growth...

Your thyroid is what helps metabolise food and convert it into energy.

how did you know all that??...hehe your doing too much research lol

x] I just do.

I know a bit about nutrition & stuff.

It was reported in the news that milk is actually should be consumed by animals and not for humans. A pretty dumb piece of info i heard.

What news station do you watch lol? sounds like complet BS to me! maybe they mean that in the animal kingdom an animal is taken off there mothers milk when they have grown in to adults, and humans drink milk all there life.. is that what they meant? I'm a bit confused, I mean you didn't really give much information about it, could you please explain in more detail?

Hold on a second.... New discovery!

Thyroid actually is important.

It secretes growth hormones as well as other hormones, not just the pituary gland. So if you have hyperthyroidism, you may be subjected to slower / less growth.
