I agree milk is bad for us, osteoporosis and all the other things the healthsecret article says BUT when they also tries to push the detox product,  they reduce their credibility and invite skepticism. 

Milk contains a large percentage of dietary estrogen, it contains VA, lactose, beta casomorphin 7, casein and a variety of human identical hormones. I think it likely exerts negative effects in a variety of ways. I don't want to rule it out as a helpful food though since it has a long history of use. My only concern with avoiding dairy is calcium intake in people that are still growing. I think that children possibly chewed bones a lot in the paleolithic which would have provided calcium and would have also promoted proper maxilla development. When Weston Price observed excellent cranial development in primitive tribes perhaps that was to do with K2 but it could have been primarily due to parents letting their children chew things like bones.

Effect of long-term beta-carotene and vitamin A on serum cholesterol and triglyceride levels among participants in the Carotene and Retinol Efficacy Trial (CARET)
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10488974/
[..]
The Carotene and Retinol Efficacy Lung Cancer Chemoprevention Trial (CARET) ended prematurely due to the unexpected findings that the active treatment group on the combination of 30 mg beta-carotene and 25,000 IU retinyl palmitate had a 46% increased lung cancer mortality and a 26% increased cardiovascular mortality compared with placebo. This study was designed when the CARET intervention was halted to evaluate the effects of long-term supplementation with beta-carotene and retinol on serum triglyceride and cholesterol levels, in an attempt to explore possible explanations for the CARET result.
