Actually I'm quite sure I've read something among the same lines.
Although it was about store-bought dairy.
Due to the the diet the animals are given, there's more omega-6 than there is omega-3 in the milk.
Organic milk also has a more favourable balance of the two fatty acids than conventional milk.
Long-term high omega-6 to omega-3 ratio has been proven to result in a higher risk of cardiovascular diseases.

However the leaking of calcium (and depositing it in soft tissue instead of bones) I believe occurs when there's a deficiency of Vitamin D.. So not because of milk.
I did read about it before but don't remember the details.
I think this person read these 2 truths and got confused, but yes, their statement isn't correct.0 -

Whats the scoop? What's the best and worst? What should I choose?
It depends on what you mean by "best" and "worst"..judging by overall calories? Texture? Flavor? Nutritional content balance? Fat? etc etc.
I'll say that we were not big fans of soy milk tastewise (even if flavored with vanilla) but have enjoyed coconut milk and almond milk.
Lately we've been stuck on cashew milk...quite creamy (my wife has lactose-issues and says the Cashew milk "ice cream" is as close as she's gotten to the real thing so far)..use plain for cooking and vanilla or chocolate for drinking.0 -
Silk Unsweetened Soy Milk is my favorite and is the most "milk like" to me. I know a lot of people that love almond milk, but it has a less creamy consistency in my opinion.0

I'm vegan and have been for a good while. My absolute favorite is Flaxseed milk. It's very nutritious and delicious (at least I think so). Coconut milk is fatty (in a good way!) and, I think, the second best, nutrition wise. You can also cook delicious things with it. The best one to use with your coffee and milk, too, if you're into that kind of thing!0
