American Council on Science and Health: What's the Story? The Role of Milk in Your Diet
What Are the Charges Leveled Against Milk?
Some extremist groups have claimed that milk is not a good food for infants and children. They also contend that milk should not be included in the official dietary guidelines because of the high prevalence of lactose intolerance among U.S. minority groups.

They also argue that hormones in milk are causing early puberty in girls.
