Be leery of any dairy haters, a lot of that bullshit kicking around these days. Milk products are absolutely good for you, you can drink lots with only good things coming from it including muscle gain and helps with weight loss. I have been drinking lots of milk all my life and I have never broken a bone or have gotten a cavity and i'm 34 years old, played football for 6 years, used to box, used to wrestle and still quite active today. I have lots of arthritis in my family history and have yet to have ANY symptoms of it myself and i attribute that to an active lifestyle mixed with a diet including dairy.

PR_Glen,
Like you say Soy is not a replacement to milk. 90% of Soy is GMO i.e. Monsanto, so people need to make sure it is Organic Soy they are buying.
I won't get into the dairy debate for now, as it would take far too long, the only thing I'll mention is that cutting out dairy reduces your risk of various cancers. (same with cutting out red meat)
The bit at the end where you use yourself as an example only gives a sample size of one which doesn't help to prove the point (not statistically significant). Arthritis is not something you'd expect at 34, but has been linked to the consumption of dairy
