Is milk good for nutrient bone maintenance?

Milk from your mother when you are a baby is good for your bones. Milk from animals however has been purported not to be good for human bone maintenance. The problem with milk from animals is that they are acid forming in the human body. The body needs protein to build healthy bones. But as your body digests protein, it releases acids into the bloodstream, which the body neutralizes by drawing calcium from the bones. So too much protein from milk or meats is bad for bone maintenance as to balance the acid the human body strips calcium from the bones.
