Yes, milk causes osteoporosis, despite the massive deceptive advertising campaign by the ADA stating that milk prevents osteoporosis.
Several studies have concluded that drinking milk is more likely to cause than prevent osteoporosis, which is the result of calcium intake, because the amount and type of protein (casein) in milk results in a great loss of calcium in the bones. For those who believe that taking calcium as an adult will help them have strong bone, calcium contained naturally in vegetables is much healthier, easier to absorb, and more abundant. A cup of the Latest Tropicana calcium -enriched orange juice contains more calcium then fortified milk - 350 milligrams versus 302 milligrams in a cup of milk. Moreover, whatever benefit calcium intake may have in avoiding osteoporosis probably stops in adulthood when bone mass stops increasing - despite the fact that ADA milk advertising is targeted toward toward adults and older Americans.
The worst thing about dairy products is not the disease they cause, the torture for the animals involved, or the terrible impact on the environment - the worst thing about dairy products is that the major cause of more than 65 percent of our population being overweight and obese.
But of far more concern than contributing to osteoporosis, milk contains hormones and carries infectious diseases. A typical cow in nature can produce up to 10 pounds of milk per day, whereas today's tortured modern cow produce up to 100 pounds of milk per days. This is because cows today are given massive amounts of specialized horomones like bovine growth hormone (BGH) to increase milk production - making their udders so large they often drag on the ground. This results in frequent infections and the need for constant antibiotics - the USDA allows drinking milk to contain from 1 to 1.5 million white blood cells (that's pus to a nonbiologist) per milliliter. These growth hormones, antibiotics , and pus remaining in the milk after processing, which causes dire medical consequences for people, especially children, who consume dairy products.

Ask your doctor if they drink milk. Next blog relating to milk "Why young girls seem to physically mature quicker and the harmful results of hormone enriched milk."
As a side note I personally don't drink milk anymore. I started drinking Soy and Almond milk with my protein shakes. And now that's all I drink. Almond is my favorite for the low fat and great calcium content.
