    Spot on about exercise. Increasing your intake of calcium (whether from milk, leafy greens. etc.) without exercising, and then thinking it will increase your bone mass significantly, is like eating more protein and thinking you’ll get a muscular physique even if you don’t exercise.

    Thank you very much! 'Milk Makes Bones' is the biggest product of the powerful dairy lobby, 'big business'. Milk is not particularly good for you (or a particularly good source of calcium) but criticizing dairy products puts you into the 'endangering our kid's teeth and bones' category. Calcium is also important for our emotional well being. A good calcium, magnesium, zinc and D (combined) supplement is good to take (and harmless) esp as we get older.

    A key piece of advice is missing here. Don't eat a lot of or supplement with calcium and D3 without also supplementing with K2. D3 helps with uptake into your bloodstream, while K2 sheperds the calcium from your arteries into your bones. High calcium serum levels without adequate K2 are instead associated with hardening of your arteries, which you don't want.

    A lot of stuff missing here. but I guess it's fine for a 4 min video.
    for example. your body doesn't really absorb calcium from milk that has been heated. like the ones on store shelves. in order to increase the time, it can stay on the shelf for you to buy.
    The same goes for foods that have been artificially supplemented like cereals and tons of other processed foods.
    the less processed the food is. the better it is for you.

    Drinking calcium-rich milk is not the only thing you can do for a strong and healthy skeleton? It doesn't do anything. Heck, there isn't even any evidence out there that cow's milk does have a positive effect relating to healthy bones. There's a lot of articles claiming that milk is a good source for calcium, but actually none of them that have any evidence to back it up properly. Something containing a lot of vitamins doesn't necessarly mean your body will absorb them properly. Most of the artificial vitamins don't have any positive effect other than raising your risk to get cancer and leave the planet early. Besides that, most of the extra added artificial vitamins that are added to foods and whatnot don't even have a single positive effect on the body either.

    Yes you can get calcium from other places than milk products. BUT they didn’t mention any portion sizes. To get the same amount of calcium than from a cup (=2.4 dl) of milk you would have to consume: 300 g of spinach / 1,5 dl of almonds / 5 eggs / 2-3 oranges / 3 tbls of tahini / 5 dl of soya beans / 150g of salmon / 1 kg of broccoli. An adult needs 800 mg of calsium a day, which is about 3-4 portions daily. Yes, you can live with out drinking milk, but getting enough of calsium with out any milkproducts is hard.
