It's no surprise to me but I thought it might be interesting for those who have bought into the idea that dairy builds strong bones.

The reason I did the search is because I was wondering if the dairy industry advertises that milk builds strong bones. I don't think they do because if they did, I believe the FTC would get after them. But they don't have to because many people assume that milk builds strong bones when they advertise that milk is rich in calcium.

See if you can find any dairy products advertised as "builds strong bones".
I don't think it exists. And if it does exist, I'll call the FTC myself.
I'm confused about the point you're trying to make. Is it that milk doesn't build strong bones, or that calcium doesn't build strong bones??? I drink almond milk which is advertised as having "50% more calcium than milk".
