Can milk give you osteoporosis?!


Question: Can milk give you osteoporosis!?
Answers:
Yes milk can contribute to osteoporosis!.

One of the main selling points for milk is its calcium content – essential to equip us and our children with healthy bones, we are told repeatedly!. What we aren’t told is the fact that the countries where people drink the most milk have the highest rates of osteoporosis!. The 70 per cent plus of the world’s population which doesn’t touch milk and dairy tends to suffer little from osteoporosis!.

The process through which milk can reduce calcium stores is not mysterious and is well documented!. The digestion of animal protein causes an acid overload which the body neutralises by leaching calcium from the bones!. It is described by the WHO* as the calcium paradox

Not according to the National Osteoporosis Foundation!. They recommend Vit!. D fortified milk!.

And it's not true that 70% of the World population don't drink milk!. Cows milk maybe!. But more people drink goats milk in the world than cows milk!. There's also horse milk, camel milk, sheep milk, buffalo milk, etc!. etc!. Milk between species used varies, but not by much!. There's some kind of milk in pretty much every culture!.
And there is no estrogen in milk, not even with cows given hormones!. The hormone sometimes given to cows is a protein not a steroid!. Not even close to the same!.

Ok and also the International Osteoporosis Foundation recommends milk!.

Yes, milk causes osteoporosis!. Britney gave the best answer so far!. It is well documented by many scientific studies!.

You do need calcium, but not from animal sources!. Animal protein metabolizes in our bodies forming two strong acids, sulfuric and phosphoric!. To keep our blood pH slightly alkaline, our bodies need to neutralize (buffer) these acids, and calcium is the best substance our bodies have to do this!. And the most plentiful source of calcium is, you guessed it, our bones!. Animal protein also contains large amounts of phosphorous, which reacts with calcium to form an insoluble compound, inhibiting calcium absorption!. If you eat a diet high in animal protein, it doesn't matter how much calcium you consume, you will still lose bone mass!.

While soy or plant proteins do not leach your bone calcium and allow you to maintain a positive calcium balance in your body!.

Yes, in short, milk accelerates what it advertises to prevent: osteoporosis!. An excess of protein zaps calcium from the bones!. You don't see too many Asians with bone problems, do you!? Their consumption of dairy products up til the last century was null!. (Mongolia is an exception: they eat anything including horse muscles and goat cheese - they also die the youngest, go figure)!. On the contrary, how many Americans do you see with bone problems!? Plenty! Osteoporosis is an American epidemic!. Americans also happen to be the largest milk suckers on the planet!. Connect the dots and you'll come to the same conclusion as I have: dairy products suck!.

excess animal protein(found in dairy milk), leaches calcium from bones!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Yes, it contributes to it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Well if there are hormones in milk, they can contribute to excess Estrogen levels at a younger age in girls!. As they grow older, and go through menopause, the sudden lack of estrogen promotes rapid bone loss as osteoclasts break down bones to provide the body with calcium!. So it isn't a result of the milk from the cow, but rather the antibiotics and hormones that are fed to the animals before they are milked!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Why would milk give you osteoporosis when it builds up calcium in your bones, precisely the substance you need to prevent it!.

I only let my kids drink organic milk so we're fine!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

no, don't believe that propaganda, milk is healthy for you!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
