Milk Doesn't Prevent Bone Fractures, Study Shows

Most kids are brought up with the advice milk will give them strong bones, but research may have spoiled that popular idea. A study from researchers from Sweden's Uppsala University published in the British Medical Journal found drinking more milk doesn't save people from bone fractures, and may even lead to higher death rates. "Our results may question the validity of recommendations to consume high amounts of milk to prevent fragility fractures," the report authors wrote.
