Kefir and Fermented Milk: A Heart-Healthy Choice

A study involving around 100,000 Swedish participants found that consuming non-fermented milk is linked to a higher risk of ischemic heart disease and myocardial infarction in women, but not in men. Fermented milk products, like yogurt, did not show this risk and may offer heart-protective benefits. The study suggests that sex-specific metabolic differences might explain the increased risk in women. Experts recommend considering fermented milk in dietary guidelines due to its potential health benefits.

Milk Consumption Linked to Increased Heart Disease Risk in Women

A study from Uppsala University in Sweden, published in BMC Medicine, suggests that women who consume cow's milk daily may face an increased risk of ischemic heart disease (IHD), with risk levels rising with higher milk intake. The study found that women drinking 400 ml of milk daily had a 5% increased risk, which rose to 21% with 800 ml. The research indicates that lactose in milk might trigger inflammation, affecting heart health, but this risk was not observed in men. The study suggests replacing non-fermented milk with fermented options to potentially lower risks.

"Debunking Dairy Myths: The Truth About Milk and Bone Health"

Experts question the long-held belief that cow's milk is essential for bone growth and overall health, stating that it may not be as crucial as previously thought. While plain milk is considered more nutritious than many flavored drinks, removing dairy from a varied diet is unlikely to cause health issues for those who don't consume it due to intolerance or preference.
