Milk is beneficial to bones.

For decades, milk has been marketed as essential for building strong bones, thanks to its high calcium content. While calcium is indeed vital for bone health, the relationship between milk consumption and stronger bones is more complex than advertisements suggest. Recent studies have shown that drinking more milk does not necessarily reduce the risk of fractures or osteoporosis. Bone health is influenced by a combination of factors, including genetics, physical activity, and overall diet. For example, weight-bearing exercises like walking and resistance training play a significant role in maintaining bone density. Additionally, other sources of calcium, such as leafy green vegetables, nuts, and fortified plant-based milk, can provide the same benefits without the potential downsides of excessive dairy consumption, such as lactose intolerance or high saturated fat intake. While milk can be part of a healthy diet, it is not the sole determinant of strong bones, and a balanced approach to nutrition and exercise is key.
