So I went around looking at all the many milk products throughout the store:

Instant Dry Milk (2 brands)
Sorrento Mozzarella
Publix lowfat milk
Sorrento Ricotta
Publix Yogurt

None of them said anything whatsoever about bones. None of the products said, "helps build strong bones". (Zip, zero, nada) They cannot say, "helps build strong bones" if it hasn't been proved. That's because they would be in violation of the law. Anyone doubt it?

I think you need a hobby..........other than doing research at the supermarket.

I do believe it's the calcium in milk and dairy that supposedly is good for your bones........

The Laleche League encourages and supports young mothers who are breast feeding their infants..........it's all the craze now.

What is old is new again..........and these young moms take it very seriously. Our moms breastfed us.......then there were the "bottle babies" during the Doctor Spock era........and now breast feeding has made a resurgence.

In all due respect, you've obviously never had children or you would know what those chocolate powder additives are......that moms used to put into their children's milk to make it tastier.

Many moms today do not encourage the stuff at all. All the little ones we know are on very natural healthy diets.....and begin their lives with breast milk. The nutrients that the mother eats are passed through to the babies and toddlers.........and yes, for strong bones and teeth. It's a no brainer actually. Calcium is the reason.

Yes, cheese is also a good source of calcium as the folks in the Nordic countries (Sweden, Norway, Finland, Denmark, etc.) will be happy to tell you. Years ago when our Swedish sister in law visited America with her baby......she was a vegan and ate a lot of cheese while she was breastfeeding..........the child grew up strong and healthy and is now 35 years old.
