I've been drinking milk all my entire life because my parents believe that it helps me grow. And only now, I've found out that it might actually cause osteoporosis? Why hasn't this been in the news? There are people out there who still consume milk, ignorant of it's potential damage ...
You've definitely convinced me. But the hard part is convincing my folks that it doesn't help me in any way.

People don't know this info because it is called a lobby...there is a lot of money to be made in the dairy industry as well as from people being sick from drinking it, sad world we live in! Best you can do is educate yourself don't be a statistic.

I like how this article talks about how bad milk is for you and that it increases the risk of hip fractures by 45% but then goes on to say to eat it in moderation are you kidding me, no wonder so many people are still drinking milk you can't even fully tell them not to after these kind of studies have proven milk to be horrible! What did they pay you to say that too or are you afraid you might get sued for telling people not to drink milk?? Get off it, milk is making people sick, have enough balls to say it straight up... DON"T DRINK ANY MILK.

Wow... from her ability to jump straight to conclusions, it seems that Michelle here is so much smarter than all the scientists who are still trying to find out whether or not excessive milk consumption can contribute to osteoporosis. I guess it does prove her point about the ignorance of the public after all.

if this research indeed proves to be true then i wonder whether milk will still be called as the best diet for babies. in fact milk is considered to be one source of nutrition which contains all nutrients in varying proportions except for vitamin D which we get directly from the sun and which is required to fight rickets.

where is your source for these numbers?

We only drink milk as infants because our mothers naturally supply it. Why would we even think about drinking the milk from a cow in the first place?

It isn't milk that is the issue. It is the vitamin D that is added to it that keeps our bones from absorbing calcium and causes numerous autoimmune problems -according to recent studies about vitamin D that I have read. Another recent discovery is that rickets only occurs in 1 in 20,000 children. The deficiency is caused by a specific gene defect and they are unable to produce D from sunlight. Only those children should be given D supplements- not the entire population!!!!

Also, milk today has very little nutritional benefits because all the probiotics and vitamins are boiled/pasturized out of the milk. We would get more health benefits from drinking muddy water.

Raw Milk, raw cheese, and raw yogurt that are not fortified w/ vitamin D, and are not pasturized, are in demand by many whole food consumers. Google realmilk.com and find local raw milk suppliers - if you are
interested in knowing more.....

This was a surprising find considering the vitamin D found in calcium heavy products like milk are known for strengthening and increasing bone density. It seems like a very counter intuitive conclusion.
