The Claim
In Japanese adults aged 35 and older, daily milk consumption is associated with a 6% lower risk of all-cause mortality compared to consuming milk less than once per week, based on pooled data from 10 cohort studies involving over 400,000 individuals followed for up to 24.4 years.
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 adults aged 35 and older who drink milk every day have a 6% lower risk of dying from any cause compared to those who drink milk less than once a week.
