I never said that you "shouldn't" consume dairy. I eat yogurt, cheese, milk, soy milk - on a daily basis. But not all of that in one day. That would be overkill for me. I would be constipated beyond repair, LOL, if I had that much dairy in one day! 1000 mg is a lot of calcium for one day, as the article states.

It also states that it's difficult to get 1000 mg from food and may be necessary to take supplements - vitamines - which is how I get my recommended dosage of calcium. I would suggest that to everyone. Especially for people that won't consume dairy because they can't or don't like it.
