By chance I was looking up info on milk and butterfat, and found this article saying that drinking milk high in fat on a regular basis can decrease your lifespan. Any opinions on this? Especially Nigerian dwarf breeders who drink their milk whole?
"In this study---the data showed that---for every 1 percent increase in milk fat (2 percent versus one percent milk, for example), telomeres were 69 base pairs shorter. That translates to over four years of additional biological aging depending on which carton study subjects chose at the grocery store."
but later it says this.
"The correlation is compelling, but Tucker cautioned that the study isn't designed to show causation, so it's not certain that milk preferences are behind the changes in telomeres..."
I could be misunderstanding something, because 4.5 years for every percent? I'ma keep on reading up on this.
If anyone cares to read up on it too, here are the links I've found:
