Fears that drinking milk could lead to a higher risk of heart disease and stroke could be misplaced, research suggests.
Concerns over the effects of drinking milk have been raised by evidence that it drives up cholesterol levels as well as studies linking the number of deaths from heart disease in some countries to their national milk production levels.
But using the results of a major 20-year study of men in south Wales, a group of researchers have argued that rather than increasing the likelihood of stroke and heart disease, drinking more than average amounts of milk could even provide protection.
In a paper published in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health a team of researchers from Cardiff, Bristol and the University of Ulster challenged the view that drinking milk can be a cardiovascular risk.
The team used data from a study of men aged 45 - 59 from South Wales whose health and diet were monitored over a 20-year period from 1979-83.
When each joined the study he was asked to weigh all of his food and drink for seven days to build up a detailed picture of his diet which was monitored throughout the period using questionnaires.
The researchers then estimated how much milk his diet contained and compared his health patterns over the period to his milk intake.
According to the researchers, men with the highest daily milk intake - at least one pint including that in cereal, tea and dried forms - had a lower energy intake, which may have indicated higher levels of activity.
When compared with those who consumed the equivalent of less than half a pint of milk a day, this group had similar blood pressure and cholesterol readings.
But when the diet figures were compared with the incidence of strokes and heart disease, the researchers found that those who drank more milk appeared to have a lower rather than a high risk.
They concluded: "The present perception of milk as harmful in increasing cardiovascular risk, should be challenged and every effort should be made to restore it to its rightful place in a healthy diet."
