Milk And Its Effect On Teeth Posted: 08-18-04 00:27am
My aunt told my mom that I need to drink
at least 2 glasses of milk a day, or else
my teeth will rot.
I like milk, but the kind my mom gets is
that vitamin d milk that's high in fat and
saturated fat, which is why I don't like
drinking it. She refuses to buy skim, 1%,
or 2% milk.
..........
Will one's teeth rot if they don't take in
milk daily?

No your teeth will not rot if you don't
drink two glasses of milk everyday. For
goodness sakes!Lol. You do need to make
sure that you get enough calcium, but
calcium is in other things not just milk.
Milk is good for you don't get me wrong.
Maybe you could ask your mom to buy some
2% or something?

Once your teeth have formed,milk has
little to no impact.Like hot said,calcium
can be had through supplements.You do need
calcium,not nessasarily from milk.Many
foods have calcium.Broccoli,spinach and
other leafy greens,almonds are also a good
source.You do need calcium to prevent
osteoporosis later on.You start to loose
bone mass in your thirties and should get
at least 1200 mg of calcium a day.
