The big medical news story of the past week – at least in the “non-Ebola” category – is a studysuggesting that increased consumption of milk is associated with increased rather than decreased risk of fracture, and increased risk of all-cause mortality. Given all the positive press milk and dairy have had recently, this finding is provocative to say the least.
The study, published in the British Medical Journal, examined the associations between dairy intake and health outcomes in two cohorts, one of men and one of women. Overall, more than 100,000 people were included. Researchers followed the women for a period of roughly 20 years, and the men for a period roughly half that.
