[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Those of you giving milk, is it cows milk? Organic? I’m always concerned about the hormones, especially for girls. I don’t think I’d feel comfortable with my kids drinking it every day.[/quote]

We don't serve milk (but we do serve grass-fed organic yogurt and they eat organic cheese) - this is one of our concerns. Ped is fine with it, our kids get plenty of fat, calcium, protein from other sources. They drink water with meals.[/quote]

We serve organic whole milk with all meals.  It is a great source of protein, calcium, and vit D- plus fat to absorb those vitamins.  My kids do eat yogurt and cheese but not nearly enough to have those be the only sources of calcium, plus they don’t contain D.   They enjoy milk and will drink 3 glasses per day.  [/quote]

^to add:

Bone density in adulthood is dependent on bone density acquired in adolescence and early 20s.  This is why calcium and vit D consumption is so very important, especially for girls.  This is real science.  This outweighs any pseudo science concerns about hormones in milk causing health problems.  No teen is getting enough calcium and vit D from leafy greens and an occasional yogurt [/quote]
