Health Risk is Unlikely When Micro-ribonucleic Acid is Present in Milk

Micro-RNAs (miRNA) present in milk does not pose a health risk, reports a new study.

It is highly unlikely that the micro-RNA (miRNA) ingested with milk have any effect on human health, concludes a new study.

One type is micro-RNA (miRNA), and its job is to regulate numerous processes in a cell. It has been suggested, however, that some of these miRNAs are involved in the emergence of tumours and other health problems.

Milk Protein Helps Reduce Chemotherapy Side Effects
A milk protein known as lactoferrin can bring relief to millions of cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, as it helps reduce its side effects, reveals a new study.

‘Micro-RNAs (miRNA) present in milk does not pose a health risk.’

The German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR) was requested to assess the potential health risks of the miRNAs contained in cows' milk and dairy products.

Data on such factors as the intake of miRNAs are urgently needed for a definitive risk assessment, but no such data are available at this point in time. The data that are currently available do not permit the conclusion that miRNAs in milk pose a health risk.

Based on the available data on miRNAs, the BfR views it as highly unlikely that the miRNAs ingested with milk have any effect on human health.

Drinking Milk at Breakfast can Lower Diabetes, Obesity Risk
Consuming high-protein milk in the morning along with your breakfast cereal can slow digestion, lower blood sugar levels and improves satiety (feeling of fullness) at lunchtime. This dietary strategy can help reduce diabetes and obesity burden.

Current scientific knowledge does not supply any grounds to advise the general population to refrain from consuming milk and dairy products in the recommended quantities and amounts that are common in Germany.
