Research Scientist at the National Research Council of Italy (Instituto Nazionale di Ricerca per gli Alimenti e la Nutrizione)
Position:
Pro to the question "Is drinking milk healthy for humans?"
Reasoning:
"Milk fat is a good source of excellent quality proteins and fat-soluble vitamins, such as TH [vitamin A], retinol and beta carotene, that play a beneficial role in protecting milk lipids from oxidative degradation... Dietary intake of TH may be protective against cardiovascular disease, mutagenic alteration, and cancer whereas carotenoids appear to have cancer preventive properties."
