Maybe there's something here that requires a little more attention." At the very least, the findings of this study are definitely worth pondering. You'd think, 'Whoa, everybody should be drinking more milk.' If someone said do the opposite, I could also do that. "If someone asked me to put together a presentation on the value of drinking milk, I could put together a 1-hour presentation that would knock your socks off. "Milk is probably the most controversial food in our country," Tucker said. Meanwhile, 10% consumed 1% milk and another 17% drank nonfat milk. Just under a third of the adults reported consuming full-fat (whole) milk and another 30 percent reported drinking 2% milk. Nearly half of the people in the study consumed milk daily and another quarter consumed milk at least weekly.

When Tucker analyzed the extremes of milk drinkers, adults who consumed whole milk had telomeres that were a striking 145 base pairs shorter than non-fat milk drinkers. 1% milk), telomeres were 69 base pairs shorter in the adults studied, which translated into more than four years in additional biological aging. The study revealed that for every 1% increase in milk fat consumed (drinking 2% vs. Therefore, the older people get, the shorter their telomeres.Īnd, apparently, the more high-fat milk people drink, the shorter their telomeres are, according to the new BYU study, published in Oxidative Medicine and Cellular Longevity. They act like a biological clock and they're extremely correlated with age each time a cell replicates, humans lose a tiny bit of the endcaps. Telomeres are the nucleotide endcaps of human chromosomes. weekly drinkers or less) and milk fat content consumed (whole vs. Tucker investigated the relationship between telomere length and both milk intake frequency (daily drinkers vs. "If you're going to drink high-fat milk, you should be aware that doing so is predictive of or related to some significant consequences."

"It was surprising how strong the difference was," Tucker said. adults by Brigham Young University exercise science professor Larry Tucker, Ph.D., found people who drink low-fat milk experience several years less biological aging than those who drink high-fat (2% and whole) milk.
