A member asked:

What is the recommended daily milk/dairy intake for a child that is 12 yrs old?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

None: Cows give milk for their calves until they can eat grass. Why have we made it a staple for us? I know you have the impression that it is the only source of calcium but green vegetables, nuts and seeds from mother nature are good for this too.
