Surprising Link Between Milk and Mental Health Revealed

WooGlobe

Could a splash of semi-skimmed milk really help your mental health? A major UK study has uncovered a fascinating link between reduced-fat milk and a lower risk of depression and anxiety. Researchers tracked over 350,000 people for more than 13 years and found that regular drinkers of semi-skimmed milk were significantly less likely to be diagnosed with anxiety or depression compared to those who drank no milk at all.  Even more surprising? Semi-skimmed milk had stronger protective effects than full-fat or skimmed milk — and plant-based alternatives like oat or soya milk were linked to higher risks of mental health issues.  What’s the secret? Scientists believe the unique balance of fats in semi-skimmed milk could be boosting brain chemicals like serotonin and dopamine.
