Bio-availability of Calcium in Milk

 

 

 

 

Some say that osteoporosis is due to poor bio-availability of calcium in cow’s milk, causing a lack of calcium.

 

All children that grow up drinking cows' milk are perfectly able to grow strong bones.

There is no doubt that one can increase the BMD by consuming cow’s milk. Adults have, on the average, a higher BMD in countries where consumption of cow’s milk is high.

 

Even if bio-availability of human milk is 100% and bio-availability of cow’s milk would be 25%, still sufficient calcium would be absorbed from cows' milk.

 

This theory is too silly to be further discussed here.
