The reason why people cannot give up on dairy products is that they still blindly believe in the same famous old myth which says that consuming dairy products means stronger bones! But guess what ? you might be doing just the opposite and causing yourself others serious health issues.

Dairy is highly acidic that’s in addition to the fact that it contains very high amounts of calcium which in return acts as an alkaline agent by nature. Milk, for instance, is loaded with natural acids.

The latter can cause the calcium deposits to build up and therefore result in serious health conditions such as arthritis and long-term inflammation. Stronger bones are not necessarily related to milk and dairy products in general.

So, if your objective of consuming dairy is making your bones healthy and strong, you can opt for plant-based foods that can definitely give you much better result because the calcium that these plants contain is well-absorbed by the body than that found in dairy. Plus plant-based foods cause you no chronic inflammation.

A health study carried by the Harvard Nurses followed 75,000 women over a period of 12 years exposed that the high consumption of milk didn’t result in protective effects, in contrary, the increased calcium consumption increased fracture risk amongst those participants!
