You don't need milk after infancy to have strong and healthy bones. Green vegetables, including broccoli, have lots of calcium. If you choose not to drink milk, make sure that you are eating plenty of green veggies. Not drinking milk benefits you if you get enough calcium. You will have even stronger bones than before, because you will be protected from calcium loss. The calcium in milk is indigestible, and therefore causes you to lose calcium. Never listen to anyone who tells you to drink 3-4 glasses of milk a day. Limit your milk consumption and try to get your calcium from other sources.

If you stop drinking milk and don't research other sources of calcium, you can wind up with calcium deficiency. Milk or no milk, calcium deficiency causes osteoporosis. If you have osteoporosis, milk can worsen your condition. Talk to your doctor about alternative ways to get enough calcium.

If you don't like milk, you don't have to drink it at all.
