Bruh..... Do you even know what osteoporosis is? It's when your body needs more calcium and starts absorbing your bones for the calcium. (Or when your body can make new bone fast enough or starts absorbing your old bone too fast) This happens because your don't have enough calcium in your diet in the first place. By not getting your diary, you're most like to get osteoporosis.

 

FTW, correlation does not equal causation 

 

Epidemiological studies are the best thing for nutrition studies as causal studies are not very easy to carry off in nutritional science.

 

I am completely aware of what osteoporosis is. Just google the topic on google scholar or on pub med or look into any recent nutrition journal.

 

The calcium in dairy is not as accessible as you may think.

 

Here are some scientific articles on the matter:

And a non-scholarly article to break it down for you

Many of these pertain to Osteoporosis, acidosis and fracture rates.

Above I've linked nearly two dozen studies, some inconclusive some conclusive, read them and make up your own mind but don't just spout nonsense. One of the cohort studies (the second linked study IIRC) is inconclusive, you can use this to help educate yourself on it. However don't just spout something you read on reddit etc without first looking into it. At very least don't be so rude "bruh"
