New Canadian research has found that children who drink whole milk appear to have a 40% lower risk of being overweight or obese than children who drink reduced-fat milk.

Led by St. Michael’s Hospital of Unity Health Toronto, the new review and meta-analysis looked at 28 studies from seven countries that included 20,897 children aged one to 18 years of age.
