Yes, milk contains calcium. But milk is also liquid protein that is called acid lactic. So milk is actually acidic! (gastric patients are asked to drink milk, which is also very foolish, I will explain in another post). When you drink too much milk, your body become acidic. But our body cannot tolerate acidic and cannot function well (and will even die) if it gets too acidic. But our body is a very intelligent machine that it will try to correct everything by its own. So when your body becomes too acidic, it starts to drain calcium (alkali) from your bone and teeth to neutralize your blood! Your body has choose to respond to the crisis by ‘borrowing’ calcium from your bone and teeth!

if milk was acidic,wouldn't it taste sour?n i think milk is lactose not lactic acid.

Why drinking milk leak calcium out of your body?

Because I want you to do the investigation yourself (using Google is enough), I will just explain it in a few short sentences. If that drive your curiosity, investigate on it and see if you will still let your mum drink milk.

THE MILK LETTER : A MESSAGE TO MY PATIENTS

    It seems that the countries with the highest intake of dairy products are invariably the countries with the most osteoporosis.

    For the key to the osteoporosis riddle, don’t look at calcium, look at protein. Consider these two contrasting groups. Eskimos have an exceptionally high protein intake estimated at 25 percent of total calories. They also have a high calcium intake at 2,500 mg/day. Their osteoporosis is among the worst in the world. The other instructive group are the Bantus of South Africa. They have a 12 percent protein diet, mostly p lant protein, and only 200 to 350 mg/day of calcium, about half our women’s intake. The women have virtually no osteoporosis despite bearing six or more children and nursing them for prolonged periods! When African women immigrate to the United States, do they develop osteoporosis? The answer is yes, but not quite are much as Caucasian or Asian women. Thus, there is a genetic difference that is modified by diet.

    To answer the obvious question, “Well, where do you get your calcium?” The answer is: “From exactly the same place the cow gets the calcium, from green things that grow in the ground,” mainly from leafy vegetables. After all, elephants and rhinos develop their huge bones (after being weaned) by eating green leafy plants, so do horses. Carnivorous animals also do quite nicely without leafy plants. It seems that all of earth’s mammals do well if they live in harmony with their genetic programming and natural food. Only humans living an affluent life style have rampant osteoporosis..

how true is this....profesionals here..please rectify

please spare 5 mins of your life to see this vid

The liquid milk you are drinking is pasteurized and homogenized milk. The calcium from this processed milk has poor bio availability. This is gonna poison your body. Drink raw milk instead.

That guy has a hidden agenda.

Not only did he NOT MENTION many important points regarding calcium metabolism, and he got some 'facts' wrong.

It's just like those idiots who say coffee causes dehydration... ignoring all the statistics that point out that coffee is not much more a diuretic (causes someone to pee) than plain water - although technically it is a slight diuretic, it's effect is barely noticeable.

Protein deficiency is alot more serious.... and anything to increase a population's protein consumption should be encouraged.

The glue I used in kindergarten came from tapioca (yam / ubi keladi). Shock Horror!!! Those damn koreans are selling our schoolkids MILK based bubble tea with Yam added to it.
That guy is just like any politician. He played on emotions and used false logic to justify his claims. He speaks with passion and the illusion of authority... but if you put down his points in bullet points, you'll notice he's talking crap.

CAUSE AND EFFECT IS NOT ESTABLISHED

in any of his points.
It's just like:


Behold! Global warming is caused by a decline in the number of pirates in the high seas

so drinking milk from dutch lady, etc is not a good source for those seeking calcium? i drink lots of milk a day, not for the calcium though, more for the protein... so is that good or bad for me?

how much is too much milk?

our body use bicarbonate to neutralize acid, not calcium. 
the bicarbonate will be reabsorbed at the kidney to neutralize the excessive H ion,

Dawson-Hughes and her co-workers report that only bicarbonate-receiving volunteers had significant reductions in calcium excretion, which indicated a reduction in bone resorption.

“When fruits and vegetables are metabolized they add bicarbonate, an alkaline compound, to the body," said Dr. Dawson Hughes. "Our study found that bicarbonate had a favorable effect on bone resorption and calcium excretion. This suggests that increasing the alkali content of the diet may attenuate bone loss in healthy older adults."

Reacting to the increasing acid levels, the body counters this by bone resorption, a process by which bones are broken down, releasing minerals such as calcium, phosphates, and alkaline (basic) salts into the blood. Bone resorption weakens the bones and increases the risk of fracture.
