First, read this article :
http://www.news-medical.net/news/2005/09/12/13120.aspx
Dairy milk is singled out as the biggest dietary cause of osteoporosis because more than any other food it depletes the finite reserve of bone-making cells in the body.
So although milk makes bones stronger in the short term, in the long term it erodes bone-making cells, increasing the risk of osteoporosis. This explains a paradox: black people are known to be less tolerant to lactose in milk, and consequently they drink less milk, yet they get much less osteoporosis than white people. This new research resolves the paradox because by consuming less milk you are less likely to get osteoporosis.
Growing evidence is showing that calcium in milk does not protect against osteoporosis. For example in a 12-year Harvard study of 78,000 women, those who drank milk three times a day actually broke more bones than women who rarely drank milk. Similarly, a 1994 study in Sydney, Australia, showed that higher dairy product consumption was associated with increased fracture risk: those with the highest dairy consumption had double the risk of hip fracture compared to those with the lowest consumption.
Author Russell Eaton says: 'Dairy milk does increase bone density, but this comes at a terrible price. The latest research is showing that far from protecting bones, milk actually increases the risk of osteoporosis by eroding bone-making cells. Also, people with osteoporosis have a much higher incidence of heart disease and cancer, and the evidence is pointing at milk as the common factor. '
It had been thought that prostate cancer was caused by harmful fats in the diet, but this may not be so. Calcium and phosphorus in milk serve to feed nanobacteria, causing calcification and cancer.
It seems that harmful calcification, caused by nanobacteria in the body, is at the root of many diseases such as arthritis, kidney stones, heart disease and stroke. These microscopic organisms get fed calcium and phosphorus from the bloodstream and then secrete calcium phosphate to cause calcification. In the book The Milk Imperative the author shows how dairy milk feeds nanobacteria, thus causing many serious diseases.
Commenting on the book Dr. Amy Lanou (Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, USA) said: ‘There is a compelling argument that today’s pasteurized milk, in all its guises, has virtually no redeeming features at all, and serves only to cause disease and poor health. By simply switching from dairy to non-dairy milk we will make a dramatic and long-lasting improvement to our health.’
My comments :
The actual problem (that's not openly revealed) is pasteurized vs raw milk.

It's a "caught between the devil and the deep blue sea" dilemma. Pasteurize milk, and not only does it lose it's nutritional benefits, but it actually becomes biochemically harmful. If you don't pasteurize milk and drink it raw, pathogenic bacterial contamination is a risk.
Ideally, humans should live in closer proximity to nature, including animals such as cows, and we could obtain our healthy raw milk safely. However, in this modern, urbanized society, there are logistical and other constraints. Immediate refrigeration actually helps, but all Governments of the world have to play it safe, and make pasteurization compulsory by law. This kills bacteria, but also biochemically alters milk, making it unhealthy.
And bear in mind that this doesn't just affect people who drink milk, because almost most foods contain pasteurized milk in some form or other. This is one (of many) reasons why all modern societies suffer from increased rates of related diseases such as cancer (compared to pre-pasteurization era).
There is no simple solution of course. But on a personal, practical level, you could substitute pasteurized cow's milk with raw coconut milk (and fortunately for Singaporeans and Asians, coconuts are cheap and aplenty in this part of the world), juiced from the white flesh (and the coconut clear water is also highly nutritious too).
Like cow's milk, coconut milk once cooked (eg. in laksa) becomes biochemically damaging. The same can be said of all oils and fats. Eg. Olive oil is extremely beneficial when raw, but becomes damaging when cooked.
Of course, on a practical level in modern society, we still gotta eat cooked food (for pathogenic bacterial contamination reasons). But less cooked oils and fats in our cooked food, and more raw oils and fats in our raw foods (eg. sashimi), that's one of the important keys to a healthier diet and life.
