Cow's milk has been promoted as a food without substitute, as being necessary and not interchangeable with foods outside the dairy food group. But as food processing and marketing expert Alissa Hamilton reveals, cow's milk is far from essential for good health, and for many, including the majority of American adults who can't properly digest it, milk can actually be harmful.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eGot Milked\u003c\/em\u003e, Hamilton turns a critical eye on the Dairy Food Group and the promotional programs it supports to dispel misconceptions about milk and its crucial role in our health.
