November 19/New York/Nature World News -- Milk does not necessarily help to prevent hip fractures later in life and may even increase the risk in men, a new study found.
Published by JAMA Pediatrics, the report looked at more than 96,000 men and women with a follow-up of over 22 years. The researchers, from Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard University, asked individuals to recall their milk consumption as a teenager. In the follow-up, men reported 490 hip fractures while women reported 1,226.
