A member asked:

I stopped drinking milk a few years ago without compensating with more calcium rich foods. what kind of harm have i done to my body? age 30.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

May not be much: You need about 500 mg day of calcium suplements and vitmain D up to 4000IU/day depending on your levels. You physician can help you with the monitoring. At your age you can still improve your bone bank of calcium with diet.
