I doubt drinking milk is all bad as has been said here. Here's why. My grandma didn't drnk much milk during the depression. She didn't drink all that much during the War either I believe. Once she had grandchildren she found out that she was allergic to milk, beef, chicken eggs, and numerous other food items. From that time on she only drank soy milk. The year before she died her gall bladder had to be removed and the description that my mom gave me of that organ was that it was black with infection. Also she lost about 5 inches in height during her later years from osteoperosis and I know she took vitamin suppliments and made sure she got more than the minimum daily allowance of calcium.
She had plenty of health concerns and they were obviously not a result of drinking milk. If anything she had osteoperosis which to me supports the claim that the calcium in milk is needed by the body.
I will just drink in moderation. I LOVE whole milk but as a family we drink 2% because none of us seem to gain as much weight that way. We also don't drink that much milk but make sure we eat the amount of vegetables that we should. Keeping a balance in what you eat never seems to be dangerous.
