There’s nothing inherently wrong with it as a food, like most other foods, but it’s not a health panacea as it was portrayed in milk advertising previously. Its main drawback for public health is that it is fairly calorically dense, so while it may be better for you than soda, for those looking to lose weight, milk should not be your primary beverage.
Also: the dairy industry is questionable at best, from an animal treatment standpoint, as well as environmental.
It's also got an unexpected amount of sugar in it, so people don't realize what it can do to a kid's teeth.
Very true, the same fact also makes it a bad choice for those with diabetes as well.
