Is it safe to drink milk past the expiration date ? I say the date is for safety, my friend says it's a scam.

The date on the milk is actually dated earlier than the milk is expected to expire, but not by much.  It is generally okay the day of or the day after, but I wouldn't risk drinking too much of it.  You can normally smell it when it goes bad.  You definately should not drink it a week after the expiration date has lapsed.

It has preservatives in it. Just like preserved mangoes etc. It does 'expire', like the colour will change and it may smell funny. But I don't think you can use them for decades and not replacing them unless you are not using it! =)

Answer: I really don't know, but I found a\nNon Dairy Creamer Joke you may appreciate while searching:\n\n"Nobody will tell me what's in non-dairy creamer, but they do reassure me that if I drink enough of it my corpse will self-mummify and last anywhere up to a century without refridgeration. "

milk should not be consumed after child years. The Dairy Associations only tell you to drink it for their profit only. Oh, the government gets a cut of the profits, too.\n\nHumans are the only animals that consume milk long after childhood.\n\nThe nutrients found in milk can be attained by eating certain vegetables like broccoli.

Nope- I do not eat expired foods...unless it's at a restaurant and I don't know!!!   It grosses me out....when in doubt, throw it out.  I rather not take my chances!

Check the expiration date on the carrton or if it smells particularly sour.  If it has not been stored at the proper temperature (below 45 degrees) for longer than two hours harmful bacteria can form and you would not be able to smell or taste that bacteria but it will make you sick.  Best not to risk it.

My wife is a nurse for over 20 years and this is the first time she ever heard this, so she says it is fine to drink milk during your period.

Apparantly so. www.activemanukahoneyusa.com says that it is safe to be eaten/used by pregnant women. \n\nI'd really check with your GP though, just to be on the safe side. x

Yeah first off...don't do that.\nIf your going to ignore that then remember how filling milk is, I suggest you have a nearly empty stomach.

You will be able to use it after the expiration date, No problem.\nBut if you use it after 10 or 20 months that will be the problem...\nPlz choose me as best answer!!

I think that the person who mentioned that osteoporosis can be caused by drinking milk is half right. Not because there's too much calcium in it, but because it contributes to your protein intake, which in many people is way above a natural level. Protein can contribute to high acidity in the body, and calcium is leached from the bones to neutralise the acid. So milk producers tell you to drink milk for healthy teeth and bones, but the result is often the opposite. No-one who eats a wide variety of different foods ever needs calcium from milk unless they are suffering from some physical abnormality. Any extra you consume above what you need doesn't strengthen bones, it merely ends up in the toilet. \n\nTo avoid osteoporosis, it is also necessary to exercise regularly, as this strengthens bones as well as muscle.\n\nTo get back to the specific question, milk is designed to be the ideal food for the young of the mother who produces it. The balance of different constituents that makes up the milk of different species varies enormously. i.e. rats milk is very different to cows milk is very different to human milk. So, no, I don't think you should drink very much of it at all, unless you are a baby, and it's your mother's you are drinking, in which case drink all you can get.

How about\nIs it the Sun block lotion itself the cause of skin cancers, when the UVA mutates the chemicals and hormones used.\nor\nIs Skimmed milk REALLY good for you? or is it just a method that milk companies can sell your pint twice, the resultant cream going to food companies and the useless by-product for you to drink...... remember it is ONLY the calcium in the cream that can be used, not the calcium in the milk, only fatty globules have calcium that the body can use.\nor\nDoes making paper REALLY denude the world of trees? - or are the very limited types of high cellulose trees actually grown as a crop? Is it true in fact that more trees are planted for paper than removed, and that recycling paper to a bleached white actually put more toxic chemicals back into the ecosystem.\nor\nWhat is the REAL reason why cellphones are not allowed switched on on planes, it is a proven fact that a cellphone cannot affect an aircrafts navigation system..... clue: find out how cells work, and how contention of ground cells can effectively 'mute' and adjacent cell when an aircraft is rapidly 'skipping' across cells.\nor\nWhy not prove or disprove the case that countries that legally allow guns have a lower crime rate than countries that ban them, look at crime statistics over the last 10 years, look at what has happened to UK, Canada and Australia, against the USA\n\nenough I think

it's okay\nconsider the low quality of the sweetener used, and the amount of sweetener, and the fact that milk is already more carb than protein by weight.  also milk contains saturated fat, and potentially contaminants.\n\ngood protein though, and long-term protein.  (some protein digests faster than other)  Also, it's convenient.  \n\nMy guess is that you should just drink the milk, and (sadly) probably not whole milk either.\n\nIf you need a sugar buzz eat quality fruit instead.

i agree with the formet two: maybe it expired, if it went through seven days posted. or also, it miught have been someone who reported it, probably someone who does not like sushi.
