    i am hearing lots of things lately about dairy and how our body's don't need it.. Linking it to cancer? If so, why do pediatrician still recommend that kids drink milk when they can get more calcium from almond milk?

    Missed this so far. Who told you almond milk can provide children (or anyone else) with calcium? Almond milk is very low on calcium compared to milk. Furthermore, calcium needs fat to be absorbed by the body, and almond milk has little to no fat (do not confuse almonds wiht almond milk) and is also very low in proteins.
    If you mean almond milk fortified with calcium, you could say the same for any fortified beverage, or just take supplements and skip the almond milk.
