A recent study claims that young adults are not drinking enough
milk -- at least according to press reports on the matter. But
according to the study's lead author Nicole Larson, the focus on
the study was on calcium.

The words "milk" and "calcium" are often used interchangeably in
the popular press. But while milk is a calcium source, no standard
other than that of the National Dairy Council considers it the best
calcium source.

The suggestion that you need to drink three glasses of the
secretion of a cow's mammary glands in order to be healthy is a bit
outrageous and doesn't fit the human evolutionary profile. In fact,
most humans around the world cannot easily digest cow milk.

***Yogurt has more calcium than milk and is easier to digest.
Collards
and other greens also have about as much or more calcium than milk
by the cup. Greens, unlike milk, have the added benefit of vitamin
K, also necessary for strong bones. Sesame is also very high in
calcium.

When you measure calcium by cup of food product, milk is high on
the list. When you view it by calorie, though, milk is at the
bottom. A hundred calories of turnip greens have over three times
as much calcium as 100 calories of whole milk.
