I have read a lot of information that says that milk doesn’t help with osteoporosis and that it really doesn’t give you the calcium you think it does (These are studies from Yale and Harvard). I hear it’s really not that good for you after all like the milk industry wants us to think. We are the only species on the planet that drinks breastmilk. I hear that the high protein count in milk actually leaches the calcium from your body. I have also heard that broccoli and nuts are actually smarter sources for your calcium intake. Is this all true like I think it is? I am really thinking of becoming a vegan, for ethics, health, and the environment. I think I can be part of the movement.
Yes I heard that about the Maasai too!
Carped, the Harvard study doesn’t agree or disagree if you read the article. In fact when I read it, I get more of the evidence that we really should be getting more of our calcium from other sources rather than milk. But it really does go back and forth
Yes that’s what I meant about the breast milk issue Happyear, thank you!
Bettey I think it depends on what else you were eating in your diet…maybe you weren’t getting enough sources of calcium or some other mineral in other foods…
Ballgame, I don’t think that most of the sources I have heard from are propaganda-related. I am talking about actual scientific studies.
