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.

May I ask , "What exactly makes you such an expert on other people's parents?" If my mother ate yoghurt mostly every day of her life from childhood to old age......never broke a bone even though she'd fall on ice and snow.....walked all over town with the speed of a teenager, never had to take the modern bone building drugs such as Boniva and Fosamax......never had a hip replacement or a knee replacement and passed at 91 which is a ripe old age, how can you say her bone health is poor? Just wondering.
You have a bad habit of taking everything someone says and picking it apart..........or else taking it out of context. I was NOT referring to any commercials at all, but to something I'd read doing my genealogy research.
For your information, most people do eat yoghurt daily nowadays, including the little ones.
Although I do know people who are vegans and vegetarians, most people eat a diet of moderation and partake of a wide variety of foods.
It would be totally joyless to invite folks over for a big pot of KALE.
