Q: Is cow's milk safe to drink? The recent controversy brought about by the findings of PETA and other doctors is confusing? Are they questioning the goodness of milk and asking us to turn to other options?

A:Cow's milk which has been boiled & cooled with fat removed after refrigeration is fine. The goodness of milk is not questionable, particularly for maintaining good bone health. Even though many other calcium rich goods exist, milk is one of the most bio-available sources of nutrients for our skeletal system. Soya bean is the only good vegetarian equivalent to dairy milk. However after the age of four years only low fat (less thatn 1% fat) should be consumed.
