Drink milk and DIE!! (allegedly...) More sensationalistic twaddle to frighten people into not knowing their a*** from their elbow when it comes to what to eat / drink. I know it is hard to use common sense when confronted with this amount of bullsh*t on a daily basis so heres a quick and dirty reaction. 1) This is the most boring study weve ever read. Whoever worked on it must be angry with the world. 2) We cant slaughter it but we can discount just about everything they suggest. Even the authors state that it only shows correlation, not cause and that it may be an example of reverse causation. Eg, people who know they have osteoporosis are more likely to drink a lot of milk. 3) Also, the study is done on people aged from 39-79 at the start, and presumably aged 59-99 at the end. Of course we would expect these people at average age 80 to react differently than young people to the simple sugars in milk. Im a young and sprightly (cough!) 41 and the 8 pints of full fat milk a day that I used to drink (gotta get big bro) as a lanky teenage giraffe would cause me some serious issues these days. 4) However, the study does show that milk is positively associated with oxidative stress in these same old people (as measured age 77). So it may be beneficial consume dairy products without lactose rather than straight up milk when you are old. telegraph.co.uk/health/healthnews/11193329/Three-glasses-of-milk-a-day-can-lead-to-early-death-warn-scientists.html
