This is BS-statistics. Everyone I know who drinks low-fat-milk is also the one watching his diet and making sports daily.

The "study" didn't even connect the fat-milk to some biological behavior of our DNA. They just counted humans and the milk they drink.

As a whole-milk drinker, I can tolerate 2%, but 1% or less is simply gross to me. If that means that I'll take on more aging (which I really doubt), then so be it!

So drinking 0% milk should reduce age an infinite number of years. Yea, I know that's not how it works but I'm always suspicious of these milk studies since you never know if there's a positive bias towards the organization that funded it. I think all food studies are hard to trust. There's just no way to isolate the variable you are trying to test.

I always thought after a certain age humans dont need milk as we get the vitamins from our food.
