High milk diet 'may not cut risk of bone fractures'
Drinking lots of milk may not lower the risk of fracturing bones, a study in the British Medical Journal suggests.
The research ,conducted in Sweden ,showed women who drank more than three glasses a day were actually more likely to break bones than those who had less.
The researchers cautioned that their work only suggested a trend and should not be interpreted as proof that high milk consumption caused fractures.
Fractures such as alcohol and weight to likely to play and role ,they said.
Twice the chance
Milk has been recommended as a good source of calcium for many years but studies considering whether it leads to stronger bones and fewer fractures have had conflicting results.
