Milk Benefits

* Osteoporosis – if milk and milk products are removed from the diet, it can lead to an inadequate intake of calcium. This is of particular concern for women and the elderly, who have high calcium needs. Calcium deficiency may lead to disorders like osteoporosis (a disease characterized by bone loss).
* Colon cancer – some studies have found that people who regularly eat dairy products have a reduced risk of developing colon cancer.
* Blood pressure – research in the US found that a high intake of fruits and vegetables, combined with low fat dairy foods, will lower blood pressure more than fruits and vegetables alone.
* Type 2 diabetes – a 10-year study of 3,000 overweight adults found that consuming milk and other milk products instead of refined sugars and carbohydrates may protect overweight young adults from developing type 2 diabetes.
