Milk is low on calories, especially in proportion to the volume. A 500 ml portion of skim milk is a little more than 150 calories, which is a "bargain", for how filling it is. Protein content is arguably insufficient. For people in need (real or imaginary), the amount is too little per portion - for the rest of the masses, a balanced diet will give enough proteins (especially considering the average meat intake in western countries). Reasoned approaches to balanced nutrition look elsewhere for "slashing calories".

You realise a 500 ml Coca Cola has 210 calories, right? So calling 150 calories a bargain is a little strange. That's a high calorie drink. It has more calories than a 500 ml coffee with cream and sugar, and much more than a black coffee or a double-black/green tea (0 calories). Honestly milk's health effects are highly exaggerated. I don't love this article[0] and won't stand behind everything in it, however it begins to get the point across that the adverts for milk are just that: adverts.
