Researchers find consuming dairy, including dairy beverages, can extend life.

According to the university’s website, a 65-year follow up of a study into the eating habits of families carried out in the 1930s found that dairy products and a diet high in calcium made a difference to how long people lived.

The researchers found that those who had high dairy and calcium intakes as children had been protected against stroke and other causes of death.
