Got Milk? You’d better hope so

OP / ED

Dairy milk is making a comeback -- and not a moment too soon for America’s bone health.

For years, calcium intake has declined, even as bone-weakening lifestyle factors have surged. Americans are spending more time indoors, sitting at desks, getting less vitamin D, and doing fewer weight-bearing activities. All of this contributes to an overlooked but growing crisis: our bones are becoming weaker, at an earlier age, and in greater numbers than most people realize.
