Yep there are better ways to get calcium than through milk. I've also heard that milk leaches calcium from your bones. I'm not sure if it is true but if the main purpose of drinking milk is for offspring then drinking another creature's milk while your an adult doesn't make too much sense.
Methionine is a good source for sulfur. That's the problem. Eat foods containing too much methionine, and your blood will become acidic. The sulfur converts to sulfates and weak forms of sulfuric acid. In order to neutralize the acid, in its wisdom, the body leaches calcium from bones.
"Dietary protein increases production of acid in the blood which can be neutralized by calcium mobilized from the skeleton." {American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 1995; 61,4}
