Br J Prev Soc Med. 1977 Jun;31(2):81-5. doi: 10.1136/jech.31.2.81.

Abstract

Epidemiological and clinical evidence is presented on an association between the quantity of milk consumed and the incidence of ischaemic heart disease. It is suggested that the daily intake of liquid milk for adults should be at most one-third of a pint (less than 0-21).
