BOSTON — Researchers from Harvard affiliated Hebrew Senior Life’s Hinda and Arthur Marcus Institute for Aging Research and University of Massachusetts Lowell have discovered that specific dairy foods such as milk, yogurt, and cheese are associated with higher bone mineral density in the spine and are protective against bone loss in the hip - but only among older adults who take Vitamin D supplements.
The study, titled “Dairy intake is protective against bone loss in older vitamin D supplement users: the Framingham Study” was published today in The Journal of Nutrition.
