Milk Study Makes a Splash

PCRM made headlines in early March with a surprising new review showing that dairy products do not improve children’s bone health. The study appeared in the March issue of Pediatrics, a leading peer-reviewed medical journal.

News conference speakers Tom Lloyd, Ph.D.; Amy Lanou, Ph.D.; Neal Barnard, M.D.; and Susan Berkow, Ph.D., C.N.S.

PCRM’s senior nutrition scientist Amy Joy Lanou, Ph.D., and co-authors Neal Barnard, M.D, and Susan Berkow, Ph.D., C.N.S., presented their findings at a news conference at Washington’s National Press Club on March 7. Also speaking at the press briefing was Tom Lloyd, Ph.D., a nutrition researcher from Pennsylvania State University, who has shown that exercise, not dairy products, is the key to bone health.

The media coverage was enormous. CNN, CBS, MSNBC, CBC, Associated Press, Reuters, the Washington Post, dozens of newspapers, and hundreds of TV stations all reported on the study, helping correct the long-standing myth that bone health depends on milk.
