This article from the February issue of the Tufts Nutrition Newsletter details the recent Swedish study linking higher milk consumption with negative health outcomes and points out that the takeaway message on milk is hard to determine at this point.
Despite the article’s headline, even the Swedish researchers cautioned against making sweeping dietary changes based on their findings. In the paper they wrote, “Our results may question the validity of recommendations to consume high amounts of milk to prevent fragility fractures. The results should, however, be interpreted cautiously given the observational design of our study.”
