Milk Could Be a More Effective Hydration Source Than Water

A TODAY health expert says milk (skim or whole) can outperform water in hydrating the body because its natural electrolytes, plus fat and protein, help retain fluids longer. Small studies suggest milk may keep people hydrated longer than water. For extra hydration, options include milk, water paired with a salty snack, coconut water, or a DIY electrolyte drink; people who sweat heavily, are ill, or take certain medications may benefit from electrolytes, though most can stay hydrated with regular water and meals.

Milk Could Hydrate You More Than Water, Study Finds

While water is the standard for hydration, several studies since 2007 find milk—thanks to its electrolytes, protein, and fat—can maintain fluid balance longer than water and even rival specialized rehydration drinks. However, these studies have small sample sizes and short observation periods, so experts still emphasize water as the default hydrating option and caution about added calories and sugar.

Noem commutation linked to new murder charges in SD case

Milk Hydration Edge: It Keeps You Hydrated Longer Than Water—But It's Not a Daily Swap

Milk can keep the body in positive fluid balance longer than plain water in short-term tests due to its mix of electrolytes and macronutrients that slow gastric emptying and promote fluid retention. Multiple trials, including 2007 and 2016 studies, show milk beverages reduce urine output and have a higher hydration index than water, with milk permeate potentially performing even better. However, the hydration advantage appears only in the hours after drinking and comes with a high calorie cost (more than 1,000 calories per serving), making it impractical for everyday hydration. Water remains the recommended default for routine hydration, while milk may be useful for post-exercise recovery or specific needs.

The Hollywood Reporter confirms that the Oscar Sean Penn lent to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in 2022 was the Best Actor statuette for Mystic River (not Milk), after re-examining photos to identify which statue was handed over. Penn previously hinted it was a loan rather than a gift and had even threatened to melt the statues if Zelensky didn’t get a chance to speak at the ceremony.

Dairy’s double-edged effect on gut bacteria

A study analyzing wall-attached gut bacteria from colon biopsies finds dairy foods can have both positive and negative effects on the gut microbiome: higher total dairy and milk intake were associated with greater bacterial diversity and higher levels of beneficial microbes like Faecalibacterium and Akkermansia on the colon lining (with lactose likely driving part of this effect), while higher cheese intake correlated with lower levels of certain bacteria. Yogurt signals were inconclusive due to low consumption. Overall, dairy’s impact depends on the type of dairy, lactose content, fiber intake, and individual microbiome, and more diverse research is needed.

Rethinking Dairy: Its Impact on Heart Health and Disease Risk

A 25-year study suggests that full-fat milk may not be as harmful to heart health as traditionally thought, with findings indicating a potential link between whole dairy consumption and reduced artery calcification, challenging old dietary advice to always choose low-fat options. However, the study shows association, not causation, and emphasizes the importance of overall diet quality and moderation.
