We have all heard “milk does a body good.”
If you bother to examine the facts about milk, however, you may not be so convinced that the slogan is right.

I am willing to bet that after the question about how to get enough protein the next question you are asked is “How do you get enough calcium?’

A cup of whole milk as 276 mg of Calcium which is about 1/2 of the calcium your body needs everyday. Short of supplementation how in the world do you get enough protien?

Dr. Thomas Campbell (son of T. Colin Campbell) has written a really great discussion of how to get the calcium you need. He provides a chart of foods and the mg of calcium contained in each:

Please inform yourself about the importance of calcium and how to make sure you get enough of it everyday. A great place to start is by reading this really great discussion by Dr. Campbell.
