With decades of great marketing by the dairy industry, most people still believe that milk is not only healthy, but also a good source of calcium to strengthen your bones. In reality, there isn't much evidence to support this. In fact, the dairy industry was forced to stop claiming that milk is good for you many years ago. A new book by Dr. Amy Joy Lanou called Building Bone Vitality reveals that contrary to popular belief, the best thing to build strong bones is not milk or calcium supplements, but regular walks, spending some time in the sun, and eating fruit and vegetables on a daily basis. It's no wonder that the countries that have the highest rates of osteoporosis also consume the most milk. (reference)
