Milk, Does the body good?

Research is now finding that dairy products have little to do with building strong bones in children. Low-fat or non-fat dairy products actually have the same amount if not more calcium than whole dairy products. Studies show no relationship between dairy calcium and bone health in children. Many Moms are worried that their children are not getting enough calcium because their kids are lactose and tolerant or their kid does not like milk, but we are starting to put calcium in everything such as maccaroni and cheese and orange juice. Another article stated that the best calcium is in tofu, vegetables, and soy milk. Do you think this will affect milk producers? Many have complained that milk is a necessity for children to grow strong bones.
