SITE SOURCES

The individuals and organizations listed below have been quoted, referenced, or are otherwise relevant to the milk debate, so we created a 1-2 page biography of each listed source. Not all people and organizations relevant to this debate are listed on our site.

For individuals we provide their experience, education, contact information, position statement, and more. For organizations we provide their description, mission, affiliations, membership, budget, and more.

All sources have been assigned a theoretical credibility rating ranked by stars (with five being the highest), and they are categorized as Pro, Not Clearly Pro or Con, Con, or Not Found to our core question: "Is drinking milk healthy for humans?"
