Hmm, lets see what is better advice....the recommendation of dietitians and the aap or what people on the bump "think" isn't a good idea but actually don't have a better solution.

Well our dietician was fine with DD drinking no milk so there is that. She actually believes dairy plays too big a role in most kids diets!

I gave you my better solution ice cream for all! I mean since we don't care about sugar as long as there is calcium go big or go home!

In individual cases where kids have parents who can afford to buy them a variety of healthy, calcium containing foods and also have children who eat a varied diet of course it's fine. That doesn't apply to the masses though.

Also in country where the overwhelming majority of kids are calcium deficient obviously most kids aren't getting too much dairy. Not sure if i would trust that dietician.

But why can't we solve the problem without contributing to a whole host of other problems?

Well, there's a very limited amount of calcium containing foods. It's not like an iron deficiency where you can add meat, fruits, veggies, cereal, pasta, etc that are iron rich. And really on average kids are eating 12 teaspoons of sugar a day in foods. You're not going to snap your fingers and magically cure the problem so if kids are wired to eat these kinds of foods, isn't it a positive step when the sugar comes along with nutrients that their bodies are lacking? I mean in a perfect world schools would offer white milk, unflavored yogurt and broccoli to these kids and they'd happily gobble it up. That's just not going to happen.

You do realize supplements are far inferior to actual food, right? Calcium and vitamin d are fat soluable so when you're ingesting them with the fat contained in something like milk your body is absorbing the nutrients better.

I have a friend who read somewhere humans are the only mammals to drink the milk of another mammal and drink milk passed infancy, so now she only gives her kids almond milk because "mammals like monkeys and dolphins are smarter then humans so she's following their example."

If being a perfect parent is knowing supplements aren't as good as food, the bar is pretty damn low. Lmao

It's just the point that you know everything about everything. Really take it as a compliment I would so buy that book.

Oh I give up. You clearly see nothing wrong with my kid having access to (but not drinking, because even my kid likes white milk) up to 10 servings of unnecessary sugar every week, and clearly you are not changing your mind. My H comes from a family of diabetics and I am picky and choosy about what they eat and drink. So sue me.

That's great that your kid loves his white milk and gets plenty of calcium. Really. I just think we have a different definition of "unnecessary sugar". If a kid is not provided and/or doesn't eat other forms of calcium, I absolutely don't think the added sugar is unnecessary. I think calcium, healthy fat, protein and vitamin d is important enough to be worth 10 grams of sugar and if kids don't get it from milk, research shows they'll make up that sugar in less nutritious forms.

Man oh man I live these food nutrition debates! Why doesn't everyone just give the kids the choice and have faith their own uniquely glorious brand of parenting will prevail in their little darlings choosing the white milk? I honestly don't know what the solution is. Obviously water and white milk are good choices and of course kids will pick the sweeter choice. So limit the choices. Maybe chocolate milk Fridays or something?
