My Ukrainian mom ate yoghurt every day of her life for 91 + years.
She never broke a bone or had any type of joint replacement surgery.
Never took Boniva or Fosamax, etc.

That's only an anecdote so I'm not sure it really proves anything. And long life was attributed to yogurt by yogurt commercials on TV. I remember those commercials as I'm sure many others do. Are we supposed to base our judgements on commercials and anecdotes?
Many observtional studies have been done comparing communities around the world. Wherever dairy consumption is high, bone health is poor. But, again, most people will just go on believing the commercials.
