Milk Stops Bone Loss

A study done to women who passed the menopausal stage showed that drinking milk fights bone loss. According to this study, women should drink milk during their adult’s lives. This will help fight the bone-thinning effects of a lifetime of coffee drinking

Women who do not drink milk but drink coffee containing caffeine can suffer bone weakening as they get older. This is according to a study conducted by Elizabeth Barret-Cannor and colleagues at the University of California at San Diego. This can place them at risk of suffering weakening and life threatening fractures. Previous studies have linked coffee drinking to an increased rate of hip fracture.

An intake of calcium or vitamin, later in life, is not enough to fight the bone loss caused by a lifetime of coffee drinking. Rather, it must be countered by enough calcium intake throughout one’s life.
