A member asked:

Does drinking milk every morning for breakfast make us get fat?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: It's unnecessary and doesn't provide any benefit. You can get vitamin d from leafy green veggies and being in the sun just a few minutes every day. And you can get calcium from lots of other foods or supplements. That is the purported health benefit of milk - nothing else except fat.
