Highthief: they may not be "wrong", but by personal experience via family members, not one of those studies or theories rings true. Spouse drinks milk exclusively-his cholesterol levels are astronomical. His dad drank milk, died of a heart attack at 62; brother drinks milk, had a heart attack at 49. Of course, none live exemplary lifestyles(think beer, cigs, sedentary, etc). My dad only drinks a small amount of milk-he's in damn good shape for 78(and I never saw him drink milk when I was growing up).
I can't drink milk, but it was that, water or orange juice growing up-never any soda-and my bone scans came out great, cholesterol is really low, blood minerals are fine. I had bad PMS when I was able to drink the stuff.
I took my kids off milk because of their severe acne on the advice of Amonkie via her own doctor-daughter's acne cleared up almost immediately, son's not so much.
