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.

Right but that is "personal experience" - that's the point most neutral people make. Some people don't react well to milk - my wife is half-Asian and lactose intolerant and can't do milk. I'm northern European and milk is a normal and healthy part of my diet as it is for millions of people. And it's yummy along with steaks that are still red inside and various BBQ'd products - in moderation, none are very likely to hurt me or millions of others.
It's the blanket condemnations of milk and all things milk-related that are quite frankly ill-informed and highly biased.
