Drinking milk lowers risk of diabetes, hypertension: NUS study

An NUS study led by Prof Koh Woon Puay from the Saw Swee Hock School of Public Health at NUS and Duke-NUS Medical School, found that adults who drink at least one 240ml glass of cow’s milk every day have a 12 per cent lower risk of diabetes than those who do not drink milk at all. They also have a 6 per cent lower risk of hypertension, another common chronic ailment affecting Singaporeans.
