PCRM is wrong

I suggest you focus on advising people about medicine as your title indicates your area of expertise. I don't think milk nutritional value is discussed or covered in medical schools. If it is, and PCRM members are the proof, please redesign the 101 Nutrition course.
The tallest people in Africa are those who rely on milk as their main source of food such as the Maasai tribes. The Maasai have the lowest incidence of dental caries. The tallest people in Europe are the Dutch, who invented the highest milk producing cow, Friesian/Holstein. Take a look at the stature of first generation of American Italians, Hispanic and southern European vs. their parents. And why so many of them became well known professional athletes. The availability of high quality and affordable milk in this country for their children is the main reason. They had and consumed plenty of beans and green leafy vegetables in their countries.
You can't compare the quality of protein or calcium from milk to any other plant source. Have you noticed how much money is being spent on milk/whey proteins by athletes, average people and just healthy people? The use of the word Physician in PCRM should be taken out. It is being used deceptively to cover av ery harmful advice to our children.
