Paul wants to know what evidence I have that drinking milk causes osteoporosis. I urge the readers to google “Animal protein robs body of calcium, say health experts”. J Ellis writing in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition notes that vegetarians have lower rates of osteoporosis and greater bone mass than meat-eaters. Again the culprit is animal protein, which is so prevalent in cows milk.
The American Journal of Public Health reported that a 12-year study involving over 750,000 women found “no evidence that a higher intake of milk will reduce bone fractures among women”.
If you take the 11 countries with the highest rates of osteoporosis, in 10 of those countries people drink more milk per person than people drink in two-thirds of the remaining countries in the world.
Finally, when Paul says his evidence is “common sense”, that’s just a euphemism for saying he can’t back up anything he writes.
