I'm very surprised to see milk negatively correlated with cancer risk - I usually see people calling milk unhealthy. Do we know exactly what the benefits are?

- simmerup 3y agoMilk has minerals like potassium and a low glycemic index as lactose takes a while to digest. That could help.

- consilient 3y agoSomethings are simply bad for you, without qualification, but for the most part it only makes sense to use "healthy" or "unhealthy" to describe a diet, not individual foods. Milk has lots of protein, minerals, and fat. Whether that's good or bad depends on how much of those you're getting from other sources.
- Qem 3y agoI suspect the plant-based "milk" makers are investing a lot of marketing resources in smearing the reputation of milk as unhealthy, just like the margarine makers did before to promote the replacement of butter with cheaper hydrogenated vegetable oils.
