Do adults need milk?

[momi]

Dear all,

I am just wondering if it's necessary for us women to drink milk? I am not really a fan of milk, except maybe still ok with fresh chocolate milk. Any health issues later in our life such as osteoporosis if we don't drink enough milk when we're in our 20s or 30s or even 40s?

Thanks for any input.

You can opt for hi cal soya bean milk instead.......or eat more veges tht are high in calcium like brocolli....etc

I have been avoiding soya milk ever since I had severe menstrual cramp after drinking soya milk couple of days before my period. I do eat a lot of vegies and fruits but seldom brocolli.

Calcium supplement is a better option than milk.

So far the only supplement I'm taking is Fish Oil. I try not to depend on supplements at my age, I'm in my 20s. What is the recommended age to begin calcium supplements?
