According to a new study published in Archives of Pediatrics and
Adolescent Medicine, dairy intake and calcium do not prevent stress
fractures. The study comprised adolescent girls followed for seven
years. Their diets, physical activity, and stress fractures were
tracked, and the results indicated that the girls consuming the most
dairy products and calcium had not only no added protection, but among
the most active girls, who got the most calcium in their diets (coming
mostly from dairy products), had more than double the risk of a stress
fracture, compared with those getting less calcium.

Dairy Products Do Not Promote Bone Health

Cows produce milk for the same reason humans do: for their
babies. Cow's milk is designed for a calf, who grows several hundred
pounds in less than a year. The dairy industry enslaves dairy cows,
steals their babies, steals their milk, and finally slaughters them
when their milk production decreases and are too worn out from giving
milk and having babies. How can this be healthy for our bodies, our
minds and our souls? Many plant-based foods such as collard greens and
kale are loaded with calcium, as well as plant-based milks (soy,
almond, rice, etc.) Dairy is certainly not needed at all in a human
diet.
