Is Milk Good For You?
Dr. Manny Alvarez of Fox news has published an article which highlights a long standing debate about the health benefits of drinking milk. As Dr. Alverez points out, “There have been several studies that warn of the risks of eating beef or high-fat dairy products, but there have also been several studies that prove the benefits of dairy and calcium and how dairy foods can help regulate body fat. The conflicting results of these studies shouldn’t come as a surprise, though. The human body is so complex that when one thing is found to be good for something, it’s inevitable that someone will find out that it’s bad for something else.”
Swedish researchers have now released information that has caused ripples through the dairy industry. A nine year study of 19,000 women has revealed milk was linked to lower weight. Women who drank or ate at least one serving of whole milk or cheese gained less weight than their counterparts who drank skim milk and consumed less dairy.
