Dont know about being essential..
but i have been raised on it and
still pour down 1/2 to 1 liter a
day, and my bones do not break
easily, that i know. Sometimes I`ve
slammed into things and was 100%
sure something had to break, got up
and was ok, not a scratch - would be
interesting to compare that with myself
not drinking milk at all, think i would be
more brittle |

No, except for babies. Adults can get all the calcium and vitamins they need from pills. I worry about too much milk...afraid it will make me fat.

I drink milk not because it's good for me but because I think it's good, especially with chocolate mix added to it.

I can't stand the stuff. I always taste an after taste that reminds me of how cows smell. Yucko. So, I almost never drink it.
The first migraine I ever had (at 8 years old) I got after drinking whole milk that had been taken straight from the cow that morning. Blehhk!
My bones don't break easily either. They measured how much calcium I had in my system once and it was really high. In fact, if I take calcium/magnesium pills I will start to puke after about three days of it.

I love milk, but when I moved to B.C. the milk had this weird funky taste, the I started getting lactose intolerant which is no fun.
The milk in the prairies taste way better, and so do the vegetables. |

No, not at all. I haven't had a glass of milk in nearly 17 years.

Those of European descent have evolved to drink animal milk. It's, lyk, in our genes.
Me just like the stuff really.

| Cow milk only has calcium because cows eat grass. (or they should, I doubt how much calcium there actually is in milk from grain-fed cows) The best source of calcium is dark leafy greens, it is also the most easily absorbed by our bodies (how bio-available a nutrient is, is much more important than doseage). |
