I will ask.

Bollocks. He brought us a ring and then his body fell apart because he wouldn't drink a glass of fucking milk once in a while. Stupid burnt-out hippie cost us a dynasty.

You do realize that his issue was a genetic fault in his bone structure and had nothing to do with milk, right?

And because he didn't drink milk as a child, the bone structure never gained super strength. Milk makes bones stronger. Does a body good

Milk is not the only thing that makes bones stronger, and Im not sure that it's anything more than an over embellished rumor about Bill that he never drank milk as a kid and thats what caused his foot issue.

I say that because I doubt he's the only person who didn't drink milk and had issues. The technology of the day was a lot different then it is today, so back then minor injuries could end a guys career. Having him come back early from the injury probably had as much to do with his continual ankle injuries as anything. Improperly set bones, or adding undue stress on a bone that isn't fully healed, isn't a good idea.

Look at Sam Bowie, his legs were brittle, and then all the sudden they weren't. Why? Probably because he fully healed, and I doubt he all the sudden started drinking milk more.

Could drinking milk have helped Bill (if in fact, he didn't drink it as a kid)? Maybe. Could him not having genetic flaw in his bone structure have helped? Yep.

Could drinking milk on the regular have minimized the impact of the genetic flaw in the future? Absolutely. Does not drinking milk out of some sense of morality make you a nitwit? Incontrovertibly.

I thought that adults can't increase the calcium density of their bones, and that can only happen in childhood? IIRC he was laid up for a long time even as a teenager due to some genetic problem with his legs. The poor medical treatment he received as a professional athlete is fairly well supported. Blaming milk or the possible lack thereof for his injuries sounds like an urban myth, and is frankly kind of lame. Pun intended.

do you know for a fact he didn't drink milk out of some "sense of morality" or are you just talking out your beard?
