The only think you get from milk is fat and whatever chemicals they pumped into the cow. You want calcium? You'll get way more from dark green veggies and a half-dozen almonds.

Oh yeah... and osteoperosis only exists in dairy-consuming countries. In places like China where they don't drink milk, they have strong bones at 90. Osteoperosis is unheard of. They don't have rampant heart disease either.

Most of those "food pyramids" you see on school walls and such are 90% sponsored by the dairy commission. They often even have the cow in the corner.
if this is true you're blowing my mind
