Meatymichael 2012-09-06T17:51:24Z 2012-09-06T17:51:24Z <p>I definitely think raw milk is a better choice, I also have been drinking sometimes even a gallon a day of raw milk and feel fine. As long as your eating your dense forms of protein and fat through nutritionally dense animal products you should be ok. If you don't feel too well then you might want to cut down the milk consumption and up your intake of magnesium rich foods.</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/147566/milk-consumption-should-i-be-concerned-about-my-magnesium-levels/153737#153737 Answer by Happy Now for Milk consumption: Should I be concerned about my magnesium levels? Happy Now 2012-10-04T22:20:13Z 2012-10-04T22:20:13Z <p>I went on a bit of milk bender last week, and ended up with foot cramps that were quickly remedied by upping my magnesium supplement a bit. So maybe your body will let you know when you've hit that tipping point.</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/147566/milk-consumption-should-i-be-concerned-about-my-magnesium-levels/187975#187975 Answer by Cherice for Milk consumption: Should I be concerned about my magnesium levels? Cherice 2013-03-27T16:14:34Z 2013-03-27T16:14:34Z <p>Drink your milk while eating a few spoons of almond butter! Almonds are a pretty good source of magnesium, plus if you were a peanut butter eater as a child, it's going to bring back some nostalgia. </p> <p>I went on a peanut butter and milk bender this past week. My grocery store was clearing out their organic, additive free peanut butter (probably because I'm the only one who buys it) and the self check out kept giving me coupons for Organic Valley pastured milk. </p> <p>Have I eaten way too many calories for the week? Absolutely. Do I care? Nope. I was too busy feeling like I was 6 years old and coming in for lunch from a long morning of playing outside with my friends. Best feeling.</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/147566/milk-consumption-should-i-be-concerned-about-my-magnesium-levels/190656#190656 Answer by vince5sand3s for Milk consumption: Should I be concerned about my magnesium levels? vince5sand3s 2013-04-10T16:33:54Z 2013-04-10T16:33:54Z <p>I experience a body high after drinking ~1/2 gallon of raw milk in one sitting (does anyone else get that charged/tingly feeling?). I take it as a good thing. I do not have that experience after drinking modified milk. Your diet looks fine but definitely choose raw over modified milk simply because it is "intact".</p> http://paleohacks.com/questions/147566/milk-consumption-should-i-be-concerned-about-my-magnesium-levels/190663#190663 Answer by Stabby for Milk consumption: Should I be concerned about my magnesium levels? Stabby 2013-04-10T16:59:41Z 2013-04-10T16:59:41Z <p>I think that the calcium and phosphorus together are what block magnesium absorption, though drinking a lot of milk doesn't always produce low magnesium levels. You might consider taking magnesium pills at a time when you haven't had milk in many hours.</p>
