DAIRY Calcium Myth:

  • Once again, the biggest Calcium/Dairy Myth of all time perhaps. Contrary to the biggest misconception, Milk actually leaches calcium from your bones contrary to the belief that it actually provides calcium for bone regeneration and contributes to Fractures (Case-Control Study of Risk Factors for Hip Fractures in the Elderly”.
  • American Journal of Epidemiology. Vol. 139, No. 5, 1994).
  • Further research has shown, that the countries with the highest milk consumption also have the highest rates of Osteoporosis.
