Men with a high milk consumption who consumed 3 or more glasses of milk per day and 5 or more servings of fruits and vegetables were 7% more likely to die over some number of years compared to men with a low milk consumption who consumed less than one glass of milk per day according to a study that analyzed data from food frequency questionnaires completed by 45,280 Swedish men (1998 baseline).
“Dietary antioxidant intake [from fruits and vegetables], especially in women, seems to modify the elevated death rate associated with high milk consumption,” the authors of the study concluded.
