congratulations on your bone density test results. I couldn’t agree more with you that it is not just enough to give up milk. We do have to make sure we’ll get enough of all the minerals and vitamins – if not through our diet, then with supplements. I personally think that watching your diet is not enough. I have met only a few disciplined people who would not eat any processed food and everything else only organic and considering always the labels. So supplementation in these “toxic” days is really necessary…

i love yoghurt and i think that’s a lot better for you than cow’s milk. after all some of the longest lived people on the earth include it in their diet.

i take your point about calcium form other sources but milk remains part of my diet. a recent test for bone density shows i have the bones of a twenty-something year old (really! the nurse doing the test didn’t believe it and did it a second time!) meanwhile a good friend of mine gave up milk many years ago for ‘health reasons”, and now has brittle bones and is borderline anorexic. we can get too scared of things, too strict with our selves!
