Osteoporosis...

Having a good debate at work about Osteoporosis, and if Milk affects osteoporosis.

So far, its even, we have a few knowledable people who say milk causes it, and a few who says it doesn't.

I drink on average a glass or so a day, so I'm intreasted to know...

According to NotMilk.com (biast obviously) http://www.notmilk.com/o.html they say its a main factor.

I found a few articles which says Milk is a main factor that prevents it.

Whats everyone elses opinions regarding this?

The role of calcium is well recognised, but stick to the skimmed stuff to prevent artery clog.

To be honest, most of the damage for lads and lasses (especially lasses) has already been done.

Take your kids on long walks, (they'll probably moan but they will thank you in the long run,) to help prevent future problems.



cheers and good health !

or drink beer! (found these facts, unsure if they are factual or not)

Beer has zero fat; milk is loaded with fat.

Beer has zero cholesterol; milk contains 20 mg of cholesterol in every 8-oz. serving.

Beer doesn't contain hormones or antibiotics, while milk contains an ever-increasing variety of the pesticides and antibiotics fed to cows, including rBGH, the notorious growth hormone that can give guys breasts.

Beer has half a gram of fiber in every cup; milk has no fiber whatsoever.

Beer has only 12 mg of sodium per cup. Milk is sky-high in the stuff.

Beer has 3 grams of complex carbohydrates in a 12-oz. glass; milk has no complex carbohydrates.
