The Claim
Consumption of 200 grams of milk per day is associated with a 14% lower risk of cardiovascular mortality in non-sex-stratified studies, but is not significantly associated with all-cause mortality.
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.
People who drink 200 grams of milk daily have a 14% lower risk of dying from heart disease compared to those who do not, but their overall risk of dying from any cause is not different.
See the scientific wording
Milk consumption of 200 grams per day is associated with a 14% lower risk of cardiovascular mortality in non-sex-stratified studies, but shows no significant association with all-cause mortality, suggesting milk may have a specific protective effect against heart disease-related death.
Milk contains special fats that, when consumed, block blood clots from forming, reduce the amount of bad cholesterol absorbed from the gut, and calm down chronic inflammation in the body. These changes prevent arteries from narrowing and hardening, which lowers the chance of dying from heart disease.
What the research says
1 studyDrinking a glass of milk (200g) every day is linked to a lower chance of dying from heart disease, but not from other causes, and this study confirms that exact link using data from many people over time.
