In fact, it has been shown that you can live only on potatoes and butter indefinitely (the study was 2 years I think) and not incur deficiencies.Potato is really good, it will drain you of the extra ammonia all protein produces through metabolism.
I agree with user "john" above - iron stores would be the only concern on high milk diet. My ferritin dropped from 87 to 59 in just 6 months of high milk and cheese diet. Milk chelates iron very well so be aware of this potential side effect.

Do you mean inside the body or the grinds would bind the manganese and not let it go into the brewed liquid?
The manganese figures I got for coffee are based on brewed coffee. Are you proposing that the manganese wouldn't be absorbed from this?
I think things like lead and cadmium are retained in the actual grinds.

No one has really defined how much of the 2 of these things a person would be eating if they were to be living off this diet. When I answered above I was thinking 16 cups of 1% milk and 16 cups of juice. I would do most, if not all, of the juice in concentrate form as to lower the liquid. A friend of mine combines milk and OJ concentrate and calls it orange milk (clever name! ), this way when he drinks 1 cup of milk he is also getting the equivalent of one cup of juice.
16 cups of OJ and 16 cups of milk give 9.1mg of iron, which for me is 114% of DV.
Haidut, do you think this amount of iron would not be enough given the large amount of milk present?
Of course if I were to do this diet I would add coffee in. Who wants to live without coffee? Though the thread simply asks about living off OJ and milk so the coffee is kind of beyond the threads question. However, the coffee would give you the manganese. You would be relying on bacteria for your vitamin K, unless you were drinking grass-fed milk.
