It’s important to note this is merely an association. Of course, several other studies show consuming milk and dairy is one of the easiest and fastest ways to get the recommended daily amount of 1,000 mg of calcium for bone health. This leads the mainstream consensus to conclude that unless someone is lactose intolerant, people should continue to drink milk. The U.S. government channels millions of taxpayer dollars to dairy producers annually through indirect and direct subsidies and maintains dairy should be included not only in its dietary recommendations but also in school dietary guidelines. However, some people, such as Dr. Neal Barnard, believe milk is unnec- essary and even harmful for humans. Barnard references researchers who looked at more than 60,000 Swedish women who were older than 19 years and concluded there was no signifi- cant benefit to consuming more than 700 milligrams of calcium per day for bone health. Barnard maintains there is no reason for humans to consume cow’s milk; on the contrary, there are many reasons to avoid it. He says cow’s milk is full of fat and choles- terol and may increase the risk of health problems ranging from asthmaStill Unclear If Milk Is Healthy Or Not to certain types of cancer.
