For decades the simple public-health message has been that milk builds strong bones, but the latest reviews and clinical trials paint a more nuanced picture: milk is a convenient source of calcium and protein for some people, fermented dairy may offer stronger fracture protection, and overall diet and exercise appear to matter more for long-term bone strength than drinking extra milk alone (Does Drinking Milk Build Strong Bones? — The New York Times). This shift matters for Thai families deciding whether to push children to drink more milk, for older adults at risk of osteoporosis, and for policy makers planning nutrition guidance in schools and aged-care services.
