Websites Note Research Into Dairy Food, Arterial Stiffness

The website Medical Xpress posted a UMaine news release about research into the connection between the consumption of dairy food and arterial stiffness. UMaine psychologist/epidemiologist Merrill Elias, and psychologists Michael Robbins and Gregory Dore, who collaborated on the research with colleagues in Australia, helped find that adults who include dairy foods in their diets might be reducing their arterial stiffness and decreasing their risk of cardiovascular disease. The website Dairy Herd Management also ran a story about the findings.
