Does milk actually cause kidney stones?

[winny]

I consume lots of milk a day because I like it and because I think its good for the body but guess what, I read from a magazine that milk causes kidney stones, is it true or one of those baldadash that writers give to readers?

No, drinking milk does not cause kidney stones.
There are several causes of kidney stones such as high salt concentration in the body, overproduction of the calcium controlling hormone(parathormone), chronic infection,inherited condition, excessive uric acid production.

Hope this helps!

I don't think milk causes kidney stones, i read that they have a study in harvard university which found that milk can actually reduce the risk of kidney stone.

Wrong diet, excess intake of acid-forming foods, lack of vitamin A and an excessive intake of vitamin D are the factors that can lead the formation of kidney stones.

well i don't believe so because based on experience most of our family members have taken milk for decades and no one had problems when it comes to their kidneys, so there is a big possibility that drinking milk would cause kidney stones is not true.

milk doesn't cause kidney stones but soda does cause kidney stones because of the combination of several chemicals in soda such as calcium and oxalate or phosphate which cause kidney stones. These chemicals are good to the body but combination of calcium and oxalate or phosphate may cause kidney stones. Soda contains high amount of calcium oxalate
