    Calcium isn't only found in milk. In fact, to prevent osteoporosis, there should be adequate calcium intake as well as vitamin D and exercise. If milk was all that was required, there wouldn't be such a high rate of osteoporosis in this country.

    Some people have ethical issues, as was mentioned.

    Many people may not be lactose intolerant, but may be lactose sensitive. These people may suffer from things that they do not know are related to dairy consumption, such as allergies, ear infections, congestion, digestive issues including constipation, acne, etc. Cutting dairy could alleviate these symptoms for those who are senstive to lactose.

    An interesting read is The China Study, by T. Colin Campbell. You could read it, and take it or leave it as you see fit.

    If you were lactose intolerant, I could see why they would ask you to stay away from it!
