Studies

Milk study

The optimal type of milk is a topic of much debate. Scientists at Boston Children’s Hospital are conducting a study in 9- to 12-year-old children to compare the effects of whole vs. nonfat milk on nutrition and health outcomes. Eligible children whose parents decide to enroll will receive free milk deliveries for a full year.
