The short answer
Provides complete protein, calcium, phosphorus, vitamin B12, and often vitamin D when fortified.
- Evidence and scope
- Food context; study findings do not grade the whole food.
- Important limitation
- Dairy trials and cohorts assess bone nutrients, protein, blood pressure, and cardiometabolic outcomes; effects differ by product and population.
- Before deciding
- Choose an option that fits lactose tolerance and dietary needs; flavored products can add substantial sugar.
01 / NUTRIENTS & FORM
Nutrient snapshot
The exact food form matters. Raw, cooked, drained, dried, fortified, and branded versions can have meaningfully different values.
Provides complete protein, calcium, phosphorus, vitamin B12, and often vitamin D when fortified.
We have not assigned a specific composition record to this food yet. Values will appear only after the food description, preparation state, edible portion, and serving weight are verified.
How nutrient values will be verified
- Planned display basis
- Practical serving and per 100 g
- Planned nutrient fields
- Energy, protein, carbohydrate, fiber, fat, sodium, and the most relevant micronutrients
- Publication rule
- Show the database, record ID, food form, serving weight, and verification date

Evidence map: baseline and emerging signals
The current baseline stays visually separate from credible findings that are mechanistic, responder-dependent, small, or not yet replicated.
The general interpretation that does not depend on one unreplicated positive result. An established limitation is as important as an established benefit.
Daily milk consumption and all-cause mortality, coronary heart disease and stroke: a systematic review and meta-analysis of observational cohort studies.
The abstract reports a qualified or outcome-specific signal. It does not establish a general health benefit beyond the tested form, population, comparator, and duration.
- Study design
- Systematic review and meta-analysis
- Tested form / scope
- Whole food
- Editorial interpretation
- Dairy trials and cohorts assess bone nutrients, protein, blood pressure, and cardiometabolic outcomes; effects differ by product and population.
- Screening record
- One relevant human PubMed source was verified and classified. This is a source card, not a complete evidence synthesis or a count of favorable studies.
