I used to drink milk right after milking caw and most farmers in Poland did so, so how bad is it it is better more nutritious for you then the crap they sell in stores all over America.
For milk to smell of ****, I can imagine your grandma's cows.
Sometimes milk may smell of dung because farmers filter their raw milk through various materials. When they run out of a piece of clean cloth, they use other stuff, e.g., pants, long johns, socks. :):):)
Raw milk is delicious and far superior to pasteurized milk in both taste and health, but it is extremely difficult to get. You can only get in Framers' markets and then only those in England, it is prohibited in Scotland and wales.
By slashing my milk intake (love it in morning coffee though) I have slashed my expenditure on toilet paper! The idea of getting roughage through milk-drenched cereals is a sick joke.
Try googling IGF and prostate - to get scientific research papers add "et al"
e.g. ABSTRACT
Prostate cancer is the second most frequent malignancy diagnosed in adult men. Androgens are considered the primary growth factors for prostate normal and cancer cells. However, other non-androgenic growth factors are involved in the growth regulation of prostate cancer cells. The association between IGF-I and prostate cancer risk is well established. However, there is no evidence that the measurement of IGF-I enhances the specificity of prostate cancer detection beyond that achievable by serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels. Until now, there is no consensus on the possible association between IGFBP-3 and prostate cancer risk. Although not well established, it seems that high insulin levels are particularly associated with risk of aggressive prostatic tumours. This review describes the physiopathological basis, epidemiological evidence, and animal models that support the association of the IGFs family and insulin with prostate cancer. It also describes the potential therapies targeting these growth factors that, in the future, can be used to treat patients with prostate cancer.

Yes, it is. I must go around the village and find out where they keep cows coz I can hear mooing frequently. I will ask them to sell a gallon of warm foamy freshly milked milk. It`s been decades since I last drank it.
If you see cows make sure they have tits, cause I stopped by at a cow farm near my home in Kujawy, but was embarrassed to have the farmer explain to me that the cows I saw grazing outside were all bulls.
In Asia, we don't drink cow milk at all, hence my question. I'll be visiting Poland soon, so I wanted to make sure the place I stay has soy or almond milk, not cow or goat!= yuck
The biggest mystery milk-wise in Poland is why Poles drink so much UHT milk. Brits and Irish won't touch the vile stuff - if you offer it to a son of the emerald isle, he'll look at you like you just offered to skullf*ck his dead grandmother. It is DEEPLY haram to most peoples with any kind of strong dairy culture, or at least any of us with more than about four types of cheese and who enjoy milk in our tea and coffee. Yet, in every Biedronka and Stokrotka, huge stacks of the cursed stuff sitting unrefrigerated (the thought of unrefrigerated milk fills me with abject horror) and purchased with great gusto.
When I first moved here a few decades ago, you couldn't trust supermarket milk in some shops in Warsaw. They'd have a whole back room full of today's milk yet they left the older stuff on the shelves until it sold. Hence people buying Laciate instead.
Interestingly, you can buy Polish UHT milk (the kind with extra supplements in for kids) in the Sahara desert. Surprising to see it in shops there.

Couple years ago in Malta for Xmas and the hotel had łaciate in the dining room during breakfast.
And yeah, the appeal was/is mostly due to freshness insecurity. I usually have a jug or two on hand in case I forget to buy fresh milk.
Back in the PRL people would immediately boil milk to see if they could use it as milk or should make cheese out of it (if it was sour but not yet spoiled). People very rarely had fresh milk and it took time for a market for it to develop.
