Milk is fortified with Vitamin D, but only about 100 IU per serving, so you would need to have around 50 glasses a day to get it. Do you know anyone who drinks that much milk?


I drink a gallon of milk about every 3 days. Even at that rate its a bit too much.


I'd be careful if I were you. I drank about half as much as you and my hair starting falling out after a month. When I stopped drinking the milk, my hair started growing back.


??? Why would you downvote an HN member for giving a health warning about drinking massive amounts of milk? YES, I went to my doctor, yes we determined milk was the cause of the hair loss. Especially when I drank it at night before bedtime. Our closest guess was that some people have sensitivities to the hormones in milk. There are also cases of men growing breasts due to large quantities of soy milk which increase estrogen.
