But you are potentially introducing yourself to elevated cancer risks because of the hormones found in milk and heart disease from the cholesterol. You are better off getting calcium from green leafy vegetables, beans (soy, chickpeas…) and nuts than dairy products.

Dairy is a double edged sword. Some components prevent cancer, some are found to likely contribute to cancer devlopment. Factor in the environmental and humane impacts to dairy on top of that, and it is even less compelling to lean on it for health reasons. It might be about time to remove subsidies that benefit the meat and dairy industry. It’s costing the US consumer way more than one would think. The cost/benefit is really upside down.
