From what I've heard, it's true that milk has a high level of calcium, but also a substance that breaks down the calcium.
Ever heard of genetic predisposition? You don't see many cases of osteoporosis in Africa and there isn't a big dairy industry there

Calcium can help to slow down osteoporisis, but genetics say its more then likely you'll get it regardless, if you fall into a certain genetic pool.
