If an individual is in the growth phase (childhood), milk might have a positive effect on growth indeed. Milk is a source of Calcium which responsible for formation of all bone structures. This might not affect though strong enough the growth in height but in width (bones). The nutritional factor is very important for growth though the most important role plays the inheritance of genes from parents. Intake of Calcium will help to achieve the genetic goal of growth though might not contribute to exceeding the limits which are already set.

In the elderly Calcium will be also rather preventing osteoporosis than making the individual grow taller.

Raw milk is full of healthy stuff that the process of pasteurization kills off. Many people who are lactose intolerant are not affected by raw milk. But to answer your question, yes, milk does affect a person's growth. It helps in a big way to prevent Osteoporosis, which means 'porous bones'. Osteoporosis is caused by lack of calcium in a person's bones, and milk is full of calcium. There are myriads of other benefits to be had from milk, and not many if any downsides to it.

Drinking milk is good for you, and it kind of does make your boobs bigger. But flax seeds are better.

Of course not! It helps kids teeth grow strong and their bones be flexible and strong, but not make them grow taller!

Cool.
