Growing up, most children heard the same refrain from an adult.
“Drink your milk!”
As an adult, the question may linger: Should adults drink milk for strong bones? Is milk the best choice for bone health?
Milk is probably one of the most ubiquitous drinks around the globe. An infant’s life journey begins with milk. Traditionally, dairy milk was accessible across economies and cultures, coming from sheep, cows, goats, and even camels.
Today, more plant-based milk products like almond milk offer consumers even more choices beyond animal milk. Milk comes in many forms: pasteurized, raw, flavored, organic, fat-free, lactose-free, and fortified with extra vitamins or minerals.
