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.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
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.
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 studyThe 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.
