July 28/The Irish Times -- Children who eat a lot of dairy food are less likely to die from strokes in adulthood than those who consume little, researchers said. Diets rich in calcium, including dairy, can cut the chance of dying from stroke by 60%, they said.
Experts from the Queensland Institute of Medical Research in Brisbane, Australia, and the University of Bristol, examined results from a 1930s study into the diets of mainly working-class families in Britain. Details were taken of family diet as well as the health, growth and living conditions of the children in the households.
