Is drinking milk healthy for humans?

Many children of all mammal species have been raised on their mother's milk for the early months of their life. Once weaned off their mother's milk human children then go onto formula, cow's milk, almond milk etc.  Milk is also found in most recipes, and food. Even people who are lactose intolerant (unable to have milk products) are able to take pills so they can enjoy milk in favorite foods such as ice cream. I  work at a dairy farm, and at Old Sturbridge Village where I hand milk cows so the process of milk is very important to me. 

Why is it that milk is so important? 

Every single mammal mother has produced milk for their young since the beginning of time. If life on Earth has survived billions of years already drinking milk then why question if it is healthy or not. Milk is a natural process that happens when mammal mother's give birth. One of the first things babies do is suck on their mother's nipple for milk. Scientifically speaking the sucking is a stimulus which signals the hypothalamus to have the posterior pituitary gland to release the hormone oxytocin that will release the milk. Even if mothers choose to not give their child milk, the milk will still be there. Milk also provides us with the necessary nutrients needed to finish growing and developing. Most importantly milk provides us with calcium which is needed for strong bones. 

Yes there are many factors such as lactose intolerance, GMOs (genetically modified organisms), and synthetic hormones but that is not in all milk. If people were really concerned with synthetic hormones then they could drink organic milk. Most milk found in grocery stores is a mixture of milk from hundred of farms, and possibly thousands of cows. Milk from local farms is guaranteed for being fresh, and not having harmful GMOs, artificial, and synthetic hormones. Milk is healthy for humans, and for maximum health benefits drink local milk.
