I've been reading lately that milk doesn't give us as much calcium as previously claimed. I've even heard that milk saps nutrients from you.
I really love milk -- I drink it a lot...Usually 2 per cent or goat's milk. But part of the reason I love to drink it is that I was always under the impression it was really healthy...
Also; is soy milk better than cow milk? I heard that it can contain as many chemicals as regular milk and can be unhealthy.

Drinking 2 cups of milk daily gives 100% of calcium that a person needs. I personally like 1 per cent rather than 2 per cent or whole because it has less fat.
Soy milk is definitely better than cow milk b/c it has chemicals to lower cholesterol and contains calcium, whereas regular milk only offers the recommended daily calcium.

Goat's milk is better than cow's milk and goat's milk yogurt drink is better. But milk is not good for you unless you are a baby cow or goat. Adults never drink milk. Try feeding a cow milk. Americans get plenty of calcium from ice cream but do not get enough vit. D,
See this site for more on healthy foods. In Pumping Iron the CA governor was asked if he drinks milk. He said "no, milk is for babies." Almond milk is the healthiest milk. Go to a HEALTH FOOD STORE to get it.

I say milk is not good for you. I haven't drank milk for 4 yrs. The calcium is not easily absorbed and it causes increased mucous production which is bad for your sinuses. Soy milk isn't so great either. You can get calcium from other sources, such as spinach, kale etc...dark leafy green veggies, and supplements. Most people think they need milk to go with cereal, but cereal isn't good either for the most part.

Any one that says milk is bad for you is under false impresions or just insane. Milk is one of the best liquids for you besides water. It contains calcium which helps give make strong bones.
