a vegetarian friend of mine recommended some documentary on netflix called "food choices" which i'm watching right now and i just saw a bunch of doctors and nutritional experts talking about how milk is bad for you
did some digging around and found this
there's a tonne of stuff that looks like vegan propaganda
http://nutritionstudies.org/12-frightening-facts-milk/Quote
A large observational cohort study[1] in Sweden found that women consuming more than 3 glasses of milk a day had almost twice the mortality over 20 years compared to those women consuming less than one glass a day. In addition, the high milk-drinkers did not have improved bone health. In fact, they had more fractures, particularly hip fractures.
i then tried to find the other side explaining why milk is good for you and keep finding stuff like this

Calcium and Strong Bones
The bone-thinning condition called osteoporosis can lead to small and not-so-small fractures. Although many people think of calcium in the diet as good protection for their bones, this is not at all the whole story. In fact, in a 12-year Harvard study of 78,000 women, those who drank milk three times a day actually broke more bones than women who rarely drank milk.1 Similarly, a 1994 study of elderly men and women in Sydney, Australia, showed that higher dairy product consumption was associated with increased fracture risk. Those with the highest dairy product consumption had approximately double the risk of hip fracture compared to those with the lowest consumption.2
How to Get Calcium into Your Bones
1. Get calcium from greens, beans, or fortified foods.
The most healthful calcium sources are green leafy vegetables and legumes, or "greens and beans" for short. Broccoli, Brussels sprouts, collards, kale, mustard greens, Swiss chard, and other greens are loaded with highly absorbable calcium and a host of other healthful nutrients. The exception is spinach, which contains a large amount of calcium but tends to hold onto it very tenaciously, so that you will absorb less of it.
has there been any studies at all proving how milk is good for your bones?
i bought into the whole milk being good for bones thing at a young age but it looks like the media has been lying to us
?
