According to studies and other sources of information... Children should not drink milk at all for the following reasons: - Milk often contains estrogenic hormones that are normally given to animals to make them grow bigger and produce more.
- Milk often contains pesticides that cows are exposed to in the fields.
- Milk, when pasteurized, has it's calcium changed in such a way that it becomes (at least) partly unusable to humans and can contribute to bone spurs and other calcium-related diseases. Calcium should be obtained from dark-green leafy vegetables.
There are milk product substitutes such as NSP's famous: Tofu-Moo(although some are moving away from tofu product because of concerns about aluminum.) Additional details can be obtained here: http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/notmilk/
