Country music superstar Trisha Yearwood is singing the praises of milk, and she wants the world to know it. That's why she's signed on as the latest celebrity to sport the white mustache in the Got Milk? ad campaign.

The 43-year-old wife of Garth Brooks, mom of three girls, and cookbook author says she grew up on a farm and has been a fan of milk for her whole life.

According the National Academy of Sciences, children and adults should drink 24 ounces of milk each day. Teens should drink 32 ounces. Why? Calcium, protein, vitamin A, vitamin B-12, vitamin D, potassium, phosphorus, niacin, and riboflavin to name a few. Another reason: If you're trying to lose weight, studies show that 24 ounces of fat-free or low-fat milk every day as part of a reduced-calorie diet can help people drop pounds and burn more fat than cutting calories alone. Some people don't support these merits, arguing that milk increases cancer risk and causes a myriad of other health problems. Milk sucks, says this website. And this one lists a bunch of articles about the controversy surrounding milk consumption. Check it out and let us know what you think. Would you sport the milk mustache. Or not?

Take a peek at these milk-mustached celebrities who support the iffy dairy product -- or at least say they do.

Are you seriously using a PETA website as an article reference? Gimme a break...

Milk = great. That's not an opinion either, it is pure fact! :)

Milk is not great. It gives a lot of people, myself included, serious digestion problems. If you look at the statistics, the majority of adults are lactose intolerant. Cow milk is for calves, not people.

bob 8-08-2008 @ 8:21PM

are you sure that's milk?

Jane 8-09-2008 @ 3:51AM

The milk mustaches used in the photo shoots are actually made of yogurt.

i have a friend who made a interesting observation = she said humans are the only creatures who drink another species milk

My longtime doctor said nobody over 30 should drink cows milk....it doesn't digest properly in people....but coming from a family of milk allergies, the stuff is poisen anyhow, and it's nearly impossible to find a candy bar without it... it's not necessary to have milk....broccoli has more calcium if cooked corectly

I am both lactose and gluten intolerant. I am a big fan of eating healthy for longevity and for feeling great. I am not a fan of milk in general. I lost a lot of weight recently and am a huge fan of broccoli and flax. Both are superfoods filled with antioxidants. I recently was turned on to a product called fitflax which is a golden roasted flax that is yummy, you can eat straight from the bag with no grinding and is miraculous as far as weight loss. The site is http://www.fitflax.com There is a code that my trainer told me about that gives you 15% off. It is FIT15

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAA..... THIS LINE:
The 43-year-old wife of Garth Brooks, mom of three girls, and cookbook author says she grew up on a farm and has been a fan of milk for her whole life. MOM of three girls?
Did their mother die? Trish is NOT a mom and never has been. The girls have a mother and just because she is dirvorced from thier father... I AM SURE THEY HAVE AN INCREDIBLE MOTHER... JUST LOOK HOW SHE HELPED GARTH!!!

what an insult to thier mother. I am so pissed off.

BobbyR 9-11-2008 @ 8:06PM

An insult to their mother? You must be overlooking your own insulting attitudes in your haste to slam someone else. What an insult you are to adoptive mothers everywhere. There are more definitions to "mom" than biological mother. Maybe yours should have taught you some manners...

PANTYsniffer....your friend isn't very observant, I guess he/she has never seen a cat nurse a puppy or a dog nurse a kitten.

Yearwood doesn't have any children, the three you mentioned belong to Sandy Brooks the woman Garth cheated on with Trisha Yearwood. Check your facts.

I'm over 40 and I drink milk. I like milk, I don't like Trisha Yearwood or Garth Brooks

Diana 8-08-2008 @ 9:35PM

check your facts Trisha might drink milk or that chalky crap on her lip but she is not a mother. Those three children belong to Sandy Brooks you know the woman Garth cheated on with Trisha Yearwood.

I like Milk it's Trisha Yearwood I can't stand.

marcia 8-09-2008 @ 9:22AM

True Diana. I agree and I cant stand her too. Looks like a lot of air brushing for that photo.

lisabfuller 8-08-2008 @ 10:36PM

I don't like milk but like Trisha and Garth. Like Trisha, I have step-children and you may not be their mother biologically but when you care for them and feed them, clean up after them and share their triumphs AND disappointments, you should be able to claim motherhood. I have an 18 month old son and I love all 3 of MY kids!

Milk causes alot of health probems for people. Unless organic, milk is loaded with chemicals, hormones, antibiotics, pesticides. Lots of people are unaware of this. Marketing makes you think you have to get calcium from milk/cheese. Not true at all. Some veg have more calcium then milk. I could go on for a while. I like Trisha but it is obvious milk has not helped her lose weight as it claims.

Bobby 9-11-2008 @ 8:02PM

Please define "loaded with"...it's only in the last decade that we have had the scientific tests with enough resolution to detect these chemicals and hormones. Not to mention that every product used in the food chain has been tested at 100s, and sometimes 1,000s of times the concentration you MAY find in the diluted form that appears in your milk! And these so-called scientific studies are just activists twisting epidemiology to their views- which can work both ways. Didn't the studies of the Atkins diet "prove" that vegetables were bad for you? You need clinical studies, not just epidemiology, to claim ill effects- especially from a food product as popular as milk.
What about the veg/vegans that drink soda and energy drinks? Don't you read the VALID clinical studies that corn syrup is PROVEN to have adverse health effects?
Maybe you're a veg/vegan not for love of animals, but for hatred of humans and vegetables ;)

Like the Pillsbury Cowboy her weight goes up and down and it has nothing to do with Elsie the cow. Trisha doesn't have children b/c she doesn't want them. She said her career comes first. If she's so into her STEP children why isn't she ever photographed with them. The editor should have caught the error. Boo hiss... or should I say "moo moo"
