Do Americans get weak bones if they don't get milk?

[–] Nomecks@lemmy.ca 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I wouldn't know, I'm not American.

Neither am I and I didn't get brittle bones after I stopped drinking milk. I just ate normal balanced meals. Getting weak bones after ditching milk might be an american skill issue
