I have read a lot of articles and watched a lot of videos that say that milk (and other dairy products) are bad. Is milk really bad? Or are they just trying to create propaganda?

Milk is not bad for you, but humans do not require milk after birth at all. The dairy industry makes us believe we do, but we don't. There's nothing wrong with having milk, it's just not necessary.
If taking milk, organic milk would be the best choice, because it avoids the use of Recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone (rBGH) in cows.The only beverage humans were designed to drink is water, milk is only required at birth.
People who do not drink milk at all do not have calcium deficiencies, we acquire calcium from other foods. The food pyramid is a load of garbage, it was designed to make people buy more dairy products, it is not accurate. However, milk is much better for you than drinking cans of fizzy, sugary pop.
Some common myths about milk:
-You need it for your bones to be strong
People say this because of the calcium, but you are getting calcium from other foods as well, you don't need milk for strong bones
-Milk makes you grow
Your height is predetermined by your genes, the only way growth is stunted is with an unhealthy diet and lack of exercise, but you can't enforce growth
