How milk can boost the brain
Researchers found milk drinkers were five times less likely to fail memory and brain tests than those who did not drink it. A group of 900 men and women, aged 23 to 98, were given a series of visual, verbal and memory tests, while their milk consumption was monitored. The results showed that regardless of age, those who drank at least a glass of milk a day had an advantage.
