Is it bad that i have never had milk?

I'm not lactose intolerant (lack toast and tolerant). I've never had milk like i don't even know what it tastes like. I also don't eat dairy so I don't have cheese, ice cream, and I've also never had yogurt so i don't know what that tastes like either lol. Is this bad? I dont take any sort of calcium supplement either. I am 16.

    Not eating dairy isn't bad - not getting enough calcium is very bad. If you aren't getting calcium from dairy you just need to be sure to get it from somewhere else. Your body needs it to build strong bones and teeth. You could also take calcium supplements but be sure you get a good quality one cuz they aren't all good

    No it's not bad. But on a health point of view drinking too much milk has been shown to be bad for you however has been suggested that eating a small amount of dairy products (not milk) once in a while may protect against certain cancers and reduce the possibility of getting diabetes.

    If you're lactose intolerant, it's not bad at all. Eating or drinking dairy products would make your stomach hurt very badly and cause diarrhea. You can always drink almond milk or soy milk. I've tried almond milk and it's actually pretty good. There's lots of non-dairy yogurts and cheeses too.

    If you mean bad as "wicked" or "evil" then I'd say no, not consuming milk doesn't make you a bad person in any way.

    Otherwise I doubt that anyone is interested one way or the other.

    you've had milk as an infant and probably very young child.

    Is it bad? Probably not.

    Where do you live? I have friends who were born in china. They never tried any type of dairy until coming to Canada at 28 years old.

    yes, it is totally bad because milk provides calcium to our bones. you can use flavours and shakes. You are only 16 years old.

    You need to talk to a good doctor about calcium deficiency. There are still other ways to get enough calcium but talk to a professional to be sure.

    It's great! If you've never had it you probably shouldn't start now anyway as you might be violently ill.
