Have another question?

Someone told me that when you have chocolate milk, something in it makes you not absorb calcium from the milk. Is it bad to drink chocolate milk? |

I'll take a chocolate milk drinker over a non-milk drinker any day. (I say the same thing for children too!) It may add a few extra calories (because of the sugar), but the nutrition is still there. There is an ingredient in chocolate (oxalates) that does decrease calcium absorption, however, the amount is so small that it really has NO effect. Enjoy your chocolate milk!
