$A study in The BMJ medical journal said Swedes with a high intake of cows milk died younger -- and women suffered more fractures.$
The findings may warrant questions about recommendations for milk consumption, although further research is needed, its authors said, as the association may be purely coincidental.

A Swedish team used data taken from 61,000 women aged 39-74 and monitored for about 20 years, and more than 45,000 men aged 45-79 followed for 11 years.

$Higher milk intake was not accompanied by a lower risk of fractures but may be associated with a higher rate of death, the study said.$
Milk also has different nutrient levels that depend on factors like food fortification and cow diet.

$And the results could be skewed by a phenomenon called reverse causation -- osteoporosis sufferers at high risk of a bone break increase their milk intake, which then gets blamed when they suffer a fracture.$
