Condensed milk?

[Stevo]

OK, I enjoy drinking tons of milk for the strength & flatulence enhancements, but don't like that my pants keep having to get "upgraded" due to my gut. Any thoughts on drinking "condensed" milk? Seems like there'd be more bang for buck without having to feel like I'm about to explode out both ends (?)

"Condensed" just means that the water's been taken out. If water is your problem, you've got a problem.

I made the mistake of buying condensed milk (which is highly sweetened and looks like white corn syrup), when I actually wanted to by evaporated milk, which is milk with the water reduced. Evaporated milk tastes like cream, and is good for putting on your cheerios or on peaches, but condensed milk is super sweet and is used for making frosting.

I asked essentially the same question a while back...


Canned milk? It makes a good sub for a protein drink, but it's not going to be easier to drink a half gallon of it than a gallon of real milk. Aside from the expense, the same amount of milk solids are there, just less water. Same gastric effect.

Not only did I still get the shits, but condensed milk gave me horrible heartburn too, which normal milk doesn't. Just be patient, your body will get used to it.

SWEETENED condensed milk, like "Eagle" brand from Borden, is used for dessert preparation. "Evaporated" milk is just canned condensed milk. Please tell me that's what you had in mind.
