Get your calcium and vitamin D elsewhere.
Humans are the only animal that drinks milk past infancy, and then it's not even from the correct species! Too many people are still trying to defend milk's supposed health benefits. Unfortunately, they are either using old information or information obtained from research funded by the dairy association. How many people would enjoy a glass of dog's milk or rat's milk? What makes cows special?
There are only two reasons which I've found to support humans drinking cow's milk. We have grown up hearing that it's good for us and we've grown accustomed to the taste and texture. There is absolutely no nutrition that can not be obtained elsewhere, minus the negatives. Calcium seems to be the major claim for milk. It can be found elsewhere in green vegetables, almonds, and many other sources. Where do you think the cows obtain the calcium to put into the milk? Where do other larger animals (elephants, horses, deer, whales, etc) get calcium? Why we continue to drink cow's milk laced with growth hormones, antibiotics, and who knows what else is beyond me.
Since I've given up drinking milk about 5 years ago my health has greatly improved. I suffer fewer allergy problems, asthma and breathing problems are greatly reduced, I'm sleeping better, and I have more energy.
In the '50s smoking was considered harmless but now we realize its dangers. One person at a time and eventually the truth will become widely known that cow's milk is only for baby cows. Milk is indeed the perfect food, but only for infants of the proper species.
Do some research online and decide for yourself. These sites have plenty of information, including recipes and other sources of essential nutrients including calcium.

Go for the yogurt...it has other properties that would be helpful to your body that milk does not offer.

Yogurt is wonder food. Try to eat one serving of acidophilus culture every day.

Yogurt may have extra nutrients because bacteria has worked on it. But cannot be certain.

Dairy is bad for you. Soy and rice milk are better than dairy. Take a calcium supplement instead.

neither is better than the other. they're both good. you need 3 servings of dairy per day, so go ahead and have both.
