This is not true all the time. For instance, my dad had a Ford Ranger in which both heads were bad (V-6) and it would burn about a gallon of coolant per month. He had no driveability issues with it what-so-ever. There was no white smoke, no coolant in the oil, etc... The only way he found out was by getting the engine torn apart at his cost.
Antifreeze maybe cheap to replace as the level goes down, but when it burns in the combustion chamber, it's very hard on internal engine components. I'm not sure exactly how(heat, corosion, etc.) but I've heard it's bad.
Pulling the head and replacing the gasket would be your best bet. If it continues, you will have to get the head checked by a professional as some cracks may not be apparent.
