Milk is unhealthy - until you see what is in all those other fluids. Carbonated drinks are the worst. They literally zap the calcium out of bones which is why there is a masssive increase among the young in bone failure. In experiments with chickens who only drank carbonated water, their bones were so brittle as to break simply when walking. Carbonated fluids (which were never consumed with meals among the 1950 and 1960 kids) is expected to lead to massive bone deficiencies in older age Americans after 2020.

What journal was this chicken/carbonated water study published in?

The only stuff I can find says that there <i>may</i> be a link between caffeine intake and calcium loss. But there are also many conflicting studies in that area.

Carbonated water? I mean, water, with CO2 in it. That causes calcium loss?? C'mon..
