Wenyuan Shi, PhD Biography
- Title:
- Chair of the Department of Oral Biology at the UCLA School of Dentistry
- Position:
- Pro to the question "Is Drinking Milk Healthy for Humans?"
- Reasoning:
-
“Mothers seem to have a ubiquitous knowledge of the ability of dariy products to deliver calcium to the actively growing bones of adolescents and can be tenacious in their promotion of these benefits. While there is certainly an abundance of data to support this notion, the other health benefits of milk consumption have yet to incorporate themselves into the psyche of the general public.”
