A member asked:

People say it's better not to drink milk, but isn't it an important factor for calcium intake?

Yes: Milk contains calcium but has 200 calories per glass. If you like milk switch to 2% or better yet to skim. If you don't have a weight problem then go for whole milk.

Dr Rosenblatt and another doctor agreed
