[Time]A Harvard study suggests skim milk and other products may decrease a
man's risk of developing type II diabetes.
Get ready for another skirmish in the milk wars. Whenever there's anything
positive to report about the health effects of milk， it seems some group always
tries to shoot down the results. Often that's more because of an ideological
gripe about whether people should drink milk from cows—or any other animal—in
the first place.
The latest study， published in the Archives of Internal Medicine looks at
data from an ongoing study of more than 40，000 male doctors， pharmacists and
other health professionals that's being lead by doctors at Massachusetts General
Hospital， the Harvard Medical School and the Harvard School of Public Health.
The conclusion： regularly consuming low-fat dairy products—such as skim milk or
low-fat yogurt—slightly decreases a man's risk of developing type II diabetes.
The effect was modest but held true whether or not study participants were
physically active， overweight or had a family history of diabetes.
Previous studies have shown that low-fat dairy products， as part of a diet
that's rich in fruits and vegetables， also helps to reduce high blood
pressure.
