Reply #14: This is just my theory. I gagged over milk when I was a child

I would not offer anything sugary to a child. My son was the same way. He loved fruit. All fruit. We kept any fresh fruit in season available and frozen blueberries at all times. Remember, cows make milk by eating grass. All vegetables have calcium. My son's teeth are great as an adult. I don't believe we are made with identical needs. He tended to be constipated. I think he needed the fruit. Other son never constipated. Glugged milk by the quart. Milk is binding, if you get my drift. A constipated person does not need a lot of cheese. I would avoid fake "dairy" products as they are just sugar and chemicals. We are related to the apes and they eat a varied diet, lots of fruits and vegetable matter as well as meat, but no sugar nor fake chemical products. Tofu is great if you saute it in enough butter and olive oil. Can stick it in spaghetti dishes. This is just my theory and experience. I actually tried to drink milk at my 5th grade teacher's house to make her happy and threw up on her dinner table.
