Good evening.When as a child .Do not recall if I had milk or not. Milk was stress that we should drink milk for our bones and strong teeth. No wonder I lost mine

I read this in the paper that Adults do not need to drink milk. No one at the age of 2 needs milk.This add calories a cup. This displaces other things that we should be eating instead. Ok to drink milk .But do not need to be drinking milk by the glass. Many have given up on milk and choose other option.Soy,Almond etc. How many glasses of milk do you consume? Photo freebie online

Some advocate it in order for you to obtain the necessary amount of calcium needed-- but you can also get calcium from kale, broccoli, yogurt , cheese and other foods.

@Kandae11 So true and the acidity of milk is a counter effect to the calcium that it offers. As a matter of fact, it makes more bad than good to the bones.

You need to get calcium from somewhere but I guess if you are getting it in other foods you don't need to drink milk.

I do drink milk on cereal or in my coffee. Adults do need calcium. My sister switched to almond milk and developed osteoporosis in her bones.

We do not drink milk, the doctor told us that it's better not to drink dairy milk as adults. Parmesan cheese contains a lot more calcium and many veggies have more calcium than milk and they are a lot better for the bones.

@amadeo Alfredo the foods with more calcium are Seeds, Aged Cheese, canned salmon, almonds and some leafy greens such as kale and collard greens.

I still like milk in my cereal but generally don't drink it by the glass. Don't know if I agree that we don't need to drink milk but I guess everything in moderation is okay
