Re: More energy, but that's about all

You need a certain magnesium to calcium ratio in your body. One of the problems with milk is that it's way too high in calcium in comparison to magnesium. When you consume calcium, you need to take magnesium with it. Otherwise, too much calcium causes the body to not absorb magnesium properly into the bones. There is a misconception about bone health to begin with. Many people think of calcium when bones are mentioned. There are far more nutrients your bones need besides calcium. My mother has corti-costeroid induced osteoporosis, so I have researched bone health extensively. I have found that there is more calcium and magnesium in green foods such as broccoli than there is in milk, and furthermore, these nutrients in plant-based foods are much more absorbable than those found in milk.
