Milk consumption has fallen over the past 20-25 years in many countries, although Feed For Health says milk is healthy.

 In UK the fall overall has been about one third during the past 25 years and within the UK. In most countries more than half the dietary intake of calcium comes from milk, and particular concern focuses on younger people. The annual Feed for Health-meeting in Milan came to the following conclusion: „Set against the proportion of total deaths attributable to the life-threatening diseases in the UK, vascular disease, diabetes and cancer, the results of meta-analyses provide evidence of an overall survival advantage from the consumption of milk and dairy foods”.
