Why is Maggie Gyllenhaal milk’s new poster girl?
Maggie Gyllenhaal is the latest celebrity to don the signature milk mustache to promote the beverage’s health benefits. But we’d like to ask the New York actor (whom we adore) one question:
What are you doing eating dairy??
Although Gyllenhaal’s never claimed to follow a vegan (or vegetarian) diet, and she reportedly dug into a plate of pork sausage during a Marie Claire interview, she’s a high-profile patient of integrative physician Dr. Frank Lipman and is quoted on his website as saying, “Dr. Frank Lipman’s programs have changed my life. I eat and drink what he tells me to and I feel great for it.”
Well, we’re pretty sure he’s told her to avoid milk. He’s certainly told us.
We also spotted her dining at vegan hotspot JivamukTea cafe with husband Peter Saarsgard this summer. She may have been drinking a latte there, but she was definitely taking it with almond or soy. Maybe, for Maggie, dairy’s one of those hard habits to kick. It totally is for us.

Ugh, milk is so toxic. Healed my own chronic health problems by giving up dairy. There are many more cutting edge physicians who know this, and the type of dairy that should be consumed for optimum health – Dr. Mercola for one
Sad how these “celebrities” like Maggie sell out just for exposure and money, without regard for the misinformation they’re spreading that could potentially harm so many people’s health. Lost all respect for Maggie.
maybe she’s doing it for the $$…didja ever think of that?
I drink organic raw grassfed whole milk and eat raw organic cheeses. PLEASE! I’m healthy!
I mean I don’t necessarily agree with the whole milk mustache compaign since they push fat free industrial milk but I think we need to open our eyes to the fact that milk isn’t the villian or toxic it’s industrial food and dairy that is the villian and is toxic.
I wish Organic Avenue would do a print campaign, with celebs proudly showing off their green frothy moustaches. It would say, ‘GOT GREEN JUICE? – THEN YOU GOT STRONG BONES!’
