You would think we have our own cow at our house with all the milk that we go through. I believe we went through 4 gallons just last week, alone. We all know that milk is so important to us, but some may not realize the importance of it.
Since forearm fracture rates of children and adolescents have increased sharply in the United States in recent years, and as the weather and summer sports season heats up, the last thing anyone wants is a fracture or broken bone to put a cramp in their plans—we’re embarking on program to raise awareness of building strong bones. (Did you know that moms who drink milk are likely to have daughters who drink milk, and the availability of milk at meals and snacks was associated with meeting calcium recommendations and bone mineral status?)
I firmly believe that drinking the milk that I have, has helped me to never have a cavity. I am 33. Also, I have never had a broken bone. I really think that my daily routine of a large glass of milk has truly helped my health in so many ways!

Regular calcium, especially from milk, helps build bone mass and avoids osteoporosis later in life!
Milk and milk products are the major source of calcium in the diet and provide other important bone-building nutrients including vitamin D, protein, potassium and phosphorus.

The researchers suggest that early beverage choices, including choosing milk, learned well before rapid growth could have significant impact on bone health during adolescence.

One fact: Regularly drinking milk during the growing years is associated with greater height, bone size and bone mineralization, while research has linked skipping milk to reduced height and increased fracture rates.

I think drinking milk from an early age instead of juice will be a tooth lifesaver as they grow!
One important fact about drinking milk is that it gives you a better bone mass
We go through 4 gallons a week at our house also it used to be more before my oldest son moved out.
For me, its one word: calcium. From childhood through the aging process, sufficient calcium keeps your bones healthy. And its good…

While losing weight may cause your bones to weaken, drinking milk while dieting can help prevent this. I love smoothies because, with skim milk and fruit, they are good for you and taste like dessert.
It helps you to have strong teeth and bones.

Between the ages of 20 and 80, Caucasian women lose about one-third of the bone mineral density in their hip. Drionking milk regularly helps slow down and/or prevent some of that loss.

If you’re trying to lose weight, you might want to consider drinking more milk. While previous studies have shown that weight loss can cause dieters’ bones to weaken, a new National Institutes of Health study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, found that dieters with adequate calcium intake did not lose bone mass while losing weight
I learned that not drinking milk can lead to increase in fracture rates and drinking milk leads to greater bone size and greater height
I learned that drinking milk is linked greater height and bone size and that not drinking milk causes an increase in fracture rate
Drinking milk as a child leads to greater height, bone size and bone mineralization. In the end, mom was right. It’s good to drink your milk!
A study published in Obesity Research suggests that drinking milk while dieting may help you double the amount of weight you lose.
I was impressed by the fact that in over 3000 published reports strongly hold the importance of milk for nutritional and metabolic health.
It’s important to drink milk because ” Regular calcium intake, especially calcium from milk, had a favorable effect on girls’ bone mass and attainment of peak bone density, which are critical factors in determining risk of osteoporosis later in life.”
It is important for my little guys because milk avoiders can suffer fractures more easily and low bone mass.

Milk helps build strong bones and teeth.
In a two-year study of young children with a history of prolonged milk avoidance, the milk avoiders were more likely to suffer from osteopenia (low bone mass), were shorter, and had higher body mass indices (an indicator of body weight) compared to children who regularly drank milk. That’s reason enough for me!

Children who don’t get enough milk end up as adults with low bone mass {osteopenia.} That is me as an adult because I’ve always been allergic to milk. One fact, which was not mentioned in the site, is that calcium helps to regulate the heart beat. I learned this the hard way and am now on medication to help calcium pills absorb into my body. Moms, please make a mid-year resolution to add calcium to your child/ren’s diet.
