All this complaining about milk in Switzerland is really ridiculous. I'd say about 90% of swiss people buy pasteurized milk (Vollmilch, 3.5% fat). So please stop writing that Swiss prefer UHT. Some people like their milk a little bit less fatty so they buy pasteurized fat reduced milk (Milchdrink). So if you can't find pasteurized milk with even less fat it's probably because Swiss like their milk to taste like milk and not like water.
I don't know how you've come to this conclusion, in my 20 years here in Switzerland I've only known of 1 Swiss who actually bought (and preferred) UHT milk (the guy was kind of weird anyway). By the way my X is French so I've spent a lot of time there and I'd have to ask the same question of the French, who's buying all the UHT...?!
We buy UHT at work for convenience, but everyone I know (who's expressed an opinion) prefers pasturised.
I can drink UHT in tea or coffee, but last year the company restaurant replaced pasturised with UHT in the drinks fridges which was annoying. I guess they didn't sell enough to keep pasturised fresh.
Can i just say that the reason the shelves are packed with UHT milk is because no-one buys it. There is much less fresh milk because its what the people want
but I did watch the BBC news 2 months ago that in the Uk they are considering stopping fresh milk production as it is harmful to the Ozone layer and all milk will be UHT by 2010 !!
It is a common misperception that UHT 'milk' comes from cows, like regular milk. In fact, just as with coconut 'milk', there is no bovine connection whatsoever.
UHT milk is produced in large quantities in industrial units established in desert regions such as Rajastan and Libya. There, camels are slaughtered and ground down, their bones extracted and refined, and the resulting powder mixed with sheep fat to make the beverage we call 'UHT milk'.
Many thousands of camels are cruelly and unnecessarily slaughtered in this way, so that Europeans can have a cup of tea that would be equally as refreshing made from cow 'milk'.

If this is a serious question: green leafy vegetables such as spinach have a lot of calcium (though they're not as calcium dense as dairy products). I find the following website rather useful, but keep an eye out for serving sizes and such. I wish they'd use weights/masses instead of volume, grrr!
Maybe not a counsellor, but a doctor maybe as your taste buds appear to have been destroyed .
UHT = ultra high temperature = all the proteins and fat molecules are pretty much destroyed along with the bugs resulting in a flat, almost homogenised flavour (homogenised milk is worse though).
As an ex milker I can recommend warm milk, straight from the cow and onto your cornflakes. Yum.
