unhealthy effects on health." "One of the only reasons people prefer milk is that it is going to help build strong bones," says Dr. Neal Barnard, president of the PCRM. There are better and healthier ways to get calcium such as eating beans, broccoli, cereals and tofu. Orange juice and soy milk that have calcium added to them also provide the nutrient.

　　Of course, calcium is important for healthy bones and teeth, but your genes, how much vitamin you take in and getting an hour's worth of exercise every day all play a part.

　　Some nutritionists disagree with the idea that milk isn't important. Keri Gans, a dietitian, says, "I think it's irresponsible to take away milk that children enjoy, especially among those who are unable to meet their nutrient needs for the day, and remove it from the lunch line."

　　The U.S. government is studying the request of the PCRM, but a decision may be a long way off. Meanwhile, Marion Nestle, a professor at New York University, puts it best, "milk has nutrients. Other foods have the same nutrients. It's just a food. Like other foods, too much might be a problem."
