Your body maintains its own cycle, replacing old material with new one. However, not drinking milk at all seems like a way to spend your old age on wheel chair. Too much of anything is bad. There is a reason "balanced diet" is mentioned by professionals every 2 second
Depends on the dairy products. Is milk even an acidic food?
What is the difference between a vegetarian and a vegan?
*Rofl***
What kind of vegetarian would you like to be?
Yeah, that's true, too much of anything does become harmful. But a balanced diet certainly does not necessitate drinking milk. Calcium can easily be obtained from other sources. And studies are showing that exercise is the main thing that strengthens your bones, not milk... so if you don't want to be in a wheel chair, exercise is probably the best thing. Other studies are showing that milk actually might have a negative effect. But there's no consensus on whether milk depletes calcium or not sadly. I think the best option would be to obtain calcium form a variety of sources and don't only rely on milk if you're a milk drinker.
One that doesn't eat meat at all I guess. I mean like considering the sacrifice of Abraham you know? He was asked to sacrifice the thing he loved the most at the time for the sake of God as a trial from Him since Only He Truly Deserves to be loved as much as can be and as Abraham in his old age got a son so unexpectedly and started to love him so much so that he started to slightly forget that Only God Truly Deserves that much love, God Tested him by asking him to sacrifice his son as a Command from Him that should simply be obeyed if Abraham truly believes in God and loves Him more than anything else.
Going for alternatives especially things like supplements is the most harmful thing you can do to your body. You can't say "Exercise is what makes your bones healthy and not milk". Literally NO good trainer or nutritionist would ever tell you that. Diet IS part of your exercises. "Do this, eat that" thats how it always is. Milk has so many benefits other than just providing you with calcium, its rich in other minerals, it gives you vitamin D and it prevents so many diseases.
Typically strength training with methods like progressive overload will increase bone density but for the training to be effective, as you said, diet is the most important factor and most trainers will say it accounts for 80% of any athletes physical regimen. I agree with you there but I disagree on the supplements because not everyone absorbs everything from food like iron or vitamin D and supplements in different forms usually help.
Ofcourse those are exceptions, we aren't talking about those exceptions. There are people who are lactose intolerant too.
I didn't say anything about "alternatives or supplements". I said the best option would be to get your calcium from a variety of sources and not just milk. Milk is not the sole source of calcium... if it was, then all adult mammalian animals (besides humans) would be deficient in it because they stop drinking milk when they become adults... but they're not deficient. Calcium naturally occurs in a lot of vegetables so eating those is not an alternative source or a supplement, it's just another very common way that you get calcium in your diet. Milk isn't a necessity, everything you can get from milk, you can also get from other sources of food. As long as you're getting the proper amount of nutrients, you should be healthy.
Studies are showing that the main thing that strengthens your bones is exercise... milk itself doesn't help your bones and could actually have a negative effect. I never said that diet isn't important either, but it has nothing to do with milk. If you have no deficiencies and you're eating a balanced diet with all of the nutrients you need and you are exercising on top of that, the exercise is what will strengthen your bones and prevent fractures in old age, not the amount or calcium or milk you're consuming. The proper amount of calcium is necessary for the overall health of your body and there are plenty of calcium rich foods that you can have in your diet without drinking any milk. Again, milk itself is not a necessity.
There is something called "the best source" and again milk doesn't only contain calcium. It is the best source for alot of other things.
The only time i have heard about these "Studies" is on vcf. And again, diet is a part of exercise. If you go to a nutrionist or hire a proper trainer, the first thing they do is give you a diet plan.
If you "NEED" them.
That's just your opinion... there are foods that provide more calcium than milk. Chia seeds are just one example, they contain more calcium than milk and they have an abundance of other vitamins and minerals in them as well. You can easily get calcium and other vitamins/minerals from different foods besides milk and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.
Maybe you should research it then... Regardless of if exercise is the most important factor in bone strength or not, milk is still not the only source of calcium and people are easily able to get enough calcium and minerals from other foods if they want/need to... it's not a problem. And I never said that diet wasn't an important component to exercise so I don't see why you keep bringing that up. That's not even very relevant to my initial claim.
Yeah, that's what I said... supplements are good if you need certain vitamins in supplementation with your diet. That's what they're made for... I don't see what you're arguing against.
Lol, you keep operating off of the assumption that milk is necessary but it simply isn't. A vegan would replace the nutrients they might get from milk with plant foods that actually offer more or the same level of nutrients, not pills. Some people simply do not drink milk... it's not a big deal and it's not unhealthy at all. Also, milk being "ancient" doesn't matter.
What is with bringing in the minority or the exceptions to justify their points. We are NOT talking about those exceptions, i already mentioned those before. No fucking shit there are people who can't drink milk that isn't the point.
You said veganism is healthy and people can just replace the stuff they can't get from normal food, with supplements. So...
Again, like i said million times before, milk has more to it than JUST calcium. It prevents so many diseases other than providing you with vitamins, calcium and alot of other minerals.
Maybe YOU should research it then. Like i already said, i looked it up and it was a hypothesis with NO scientific evidence, experiments or facts to back it up. It can not be even called a theory considering how weak it is.
What exceptions? People who are not lactose intolerant are the exception. The majority of the human population is lactose intolerant. Did you even read my comment before replying to me?
I didn't say anything about supplements... I was talking about plant sources of calcium and other vitamins/minerals, not supplements. You were the one who randomly brought up supplements even though it had nothing to do with what I said. Vegans get their calcium and other vitamins/minerals from plants, not supplements in the first place.
I have already addressed that... it really has nothing to do with what I was saying anyway. I feel like you didn't read a single word I wrote.
Lol no they don't.
No shit Mecca, if someone can't digest something and will get a reaction from it, they shouldn't eat it. Lactose intolerance and allergies are not the freaking point. Ofcourse if you can't eat something, you'll adjust your diet to fit to that. If i can't eat peanuts, i won't eat them. That doesn't make them harmful on their own right or make them not have any benefits.
The entire thing started because you said that according to "Studies" milk depletes calcium from the bone. And then you said milk is not what makes bones healthy, exercise does.
And why would you think that? Do you not understand that there is an abundance of calcium and mineral rich plants that people eat? Leafy green vegetables like collard greens for example are a great source of calcium. People eat those plants and they get calcium and various other nutrients from them. Vegans eat those plants... there entire diet consists of plant foods and that's where they get their calcium and other nutrients. This is a basic fact. Please understand that milk is not the only food that contains calcium/other minerals.
I didn't say anything about allergies... again, you were the one who randomly brought that up even though it's irrelevant to what I said. And lactose intolerant people are certainly a part of the point... The people who are lactose intolerant and can't drink milk (who are the majority of people in the world) can still have a perfectly balanced diet with the correct amount of calcium and all of the other minerals and vitamins because they can get those nutrients from different foods besides milk. And if you're not lactose intolerant and simply choose not to drink milk, you can still do the exact same thing. Don't you understand this? You're acting like people can't be healthy without having milk in their diet, but that's a demonstrably false idea.
