Claim: The animal protein in cow milk is a significant contributor for Osteoporosis disease.
Fact-check: This video alleging milk being a significant contributor to osteoporosis disease is misleading - FACTLY
Verdict: although it's true that calcium absorbed from milk is employed to offset the urinary calcium losses caused by milk's animal protein, the precise ratio between calcium intake and its utilization for compensating urinary calcium losses remains uncertain. while drinking milk can improve bone density and prevent osteoporosis in elderly people, some research studies suggest that consuming excessive amounts of milk could lead to increased calcium excretion in the urine that could potentially weaken bones over time. hence, the claim made in the post is misleading.
