Research Finds Kids Who Drank More Milk Have Faster Walking Times And Better Balance As Older Adults

Probably all that training to quickly get to the toilet from lactose intolerance.

Starting a milk drinking habit as a child can lead to lifelong benefits, even improving physical ability and balance in older age, according to new research. A new study published in Age & Aging found an increase of about one glass of milk a day as a child was linked to a 5% faster walking time and 25% lesser chance of poor balance in older age. The researchers suggest a "public health benefit of childhood milk intake on physical function in old age" - a finding that has huge potential for adults over 65, a population expected reach more than 70 million by the year 2030, doubling over just 30 years.

The only "huge potential" is for Big White and the sale of Kaopectate.
