A new study published in the British Medical Journal is suggesting milk may not be that beneficial to overall bone health.
The authors of the document, from Sweden, followed over 100,000 people — 61,000 women and 45,000 men.
They tracked the women for 20 years and the men for 11.
The researchers discovered that women, particularly, who consumed more milk products were associated with greater mortality and fracture risk.
Men who consumed the same amount were only 10% more likely to die with no difference in fracture risk.
Details on the study can be found here.
A local dietician is weighing in by saying this is just “food for thought”.
