The Claim

In Japanese females, daily milk consumption is associated with a 10% lower risk of cerebrovascular disease mortality compared to consuming milk less than once per week.

Source: Association between dairy intake and all-cause and cause-specific mortality: a pooled analysis of 0.4 million Japanese adults from 10 population-based cohort studies.

In plain English

Japanese women who drink milk every day have a 10% lower rate of death from stroke and other cerebrovascular diseases than those who drink milk less than once a week.

See the scientific wording

In Japanese females, daily milk consumption is associated with a 10% lower risk of cerebrovascular disease mortality compared to consuming milk less than once per week, based on pooled data from 10 cohort studies.

Why this might work

Drinking milk daily provides calcium, vitamin D, and specific proteins that strengthen blood vessel walls and help blood vessels relax, which keeps blood pressure stable and prevents blockages in brain arteries.

What the research says

1 study
  1. Study: Association between dairy intake and all-cause and cause-specific mortality: a pooled analysis of 0.4 million Japanese adults from 10 population-based cohort studies.

    The study found that Japanese women who drank milk almost every day were slightly less likely to die from stroke or brain blood vessel problems than those who drank milk rarely—about 10% less likely. This matches what the claim says.
