I've agreed because old people need nutrients just as much. I've seen some old people neglected due to such attitudes. It breaks my heart. I'm dreading being old. I hope my memory goes first otherwise I'd be fed anything and i'll be so bad tempered.Freema i have to call you on that last paragraph. It is quite objectionable.
Apologies if it seems to have gone off track. The OP originally posed the question on this thread, which then got made into it's own thread, presumably by a moderator, but not all posts transferred with it. I replied to the post still left here. Perhaps a moderator could shift the posts?I thought this thread was about eating fish, not drinking milk. I tried to bring it back on topic before to no avail it seems.
Here's a thread about drinking milk right here.

Sorry I replied to the wrong posterThanks for posting the link to The Dairy Council website, I never can find it when I want it.
Upon reading it just now, it agrees with my previous post ie 200ml semi-skimmed milk = 9.7g CHO.
Can you explain how you interpret this site's figures differently, please?
I do feel it is important to dispel incongruity, I wish to be accurate in my posts. Thank you
Interested to know why you think we would die if we ate an inuit diet?Fish is excellent as are most marine diets but some north west europeans might eventually die if they went onto an eskimo diet. By no means all, but some. You can have too much of a good thing and genetically, we are adapted to a different diet. It's probably best to mix and match lots of fish with other things. Marine, riverine, esturine and lacustrine diets contain most of those vital things for humans, iodine in the salt, calcium in small boney fish, various rare but vital vitamins etc etc. But, they do other things too, like thin the blood which may be a good thing but which also be a bad thing, depending on your own genetic make up. Mixing and matching, keeping things varied is playing it safe. Fish goes very well with tomatoes, broccoli, olives, onion, pulses but so does chicken and ham. Vary the type of fish that you eat and don't overlook things like mussels which are becoming easier to obtain. King prawns are my favourite. They go well with tomatoes and some wholewheat pasta. So does tuna, just add some sliced olives into the sauce.

Some could die, by no means all and to be fair, inuit eat meat as well as seafood. But the idea is the same, eating too much fish oil can be dangerous for some. It's to do with the potential for internal hemorrhaging in some people. The blood thinning qualities in many fish products is great for protecting the heart, the thing that we seem to worry about most in europe and the usa, but it can be fatal for people who have one of a number of bleeding disorders, who we rarely talk about in the media. Another danger is the potential for vitamin toxicity. Quite a few people in the UK get vitamin A poisoning every year through eating too much carotene found in carrots, squash, and sweet potatoes. They think it's healthy. At least with this, you know when you turn orange that you have a problem. You don't with internal bleeding, unless it is near the surface and you start bruising.
People are genetically not the same and there are many genes which, for some people are beneficial but which are for others debilitating. For example, for most europeans sickle cell anaemia results in a number of possible conditions which can include pallor and weariness. Sickle cell anaemia though also provides a certain amount of protection against malaria which is great for those living in sub saharan africa but not of much benefit to those living in the UK.
Fish is amazing! I can eat fish every day.
Never knew that.. seems especially bad if you are taking other blood thinning drugs especially warfarin.
