Milk increases the risk of Heart Disease

Here is another interesting discussion that has been going around - does milk increase the risk of hear disease?

*Myth*: Dairy can increase heart disease risk.

*Truth* Milk and milk-products do not lead to heart diseases.

In fact, heart diseases are caused by a diet which is high in fats rather than any other reasons. When you take low-fat milk products, for example, skimmed milk or reduced-fat yogurt, not only will your fat intake be lowered, the absorption of other essential vitamins and minerals are enhanced.

It is a well known fact that milk products contain a lot of goodness for us. By removing excess fat content, skimmed milk fortified with minerals and vitamins are definitely good for our overall well being.

So, do not be misled. Avoid a high fat diet. That of course includes over indulging in milk products like cheese and rich cream. Other than that, enjoy your diary products, they are good for you.
