During these 40 years (1970-2006),
American per capita consumption on milk has fallen by about 40%.
American per capita consumption of whole milk (i.e. milk with fat) has fallen by about 80%
During the above period, blood pressure, heart disease and diabetes rates have gone up significantly in America. So, less fat consumption could be the contribution factor for increase in blood pressure, heart disease and diabetes.
Also, is it wrong to implicate milk as cause for blood pressure, heart disease and diabetes?
However, note from the 2nd table below, the per capita milk consumption has not fallen that significantly among the 20 plus. It's fallen mostly in the 0-20 population. So, perhaps, milk may be causing blood pressure, heart disease and diabetes, we don't know anything yet for sure!
"Not long ago, milk was a standard part of Americans' mornings. Now, the calcium-filled fluid would be lucky to find itself on anyone's mind.
Americans, on average, drink 37 percent less milk today than they did in 1970, according to data from the USDA. Forty years ago, per capita consumption was nearly one and a half cups per day; now it's nearer to 0.8. While the fallout spans every type of cow's milk—whole, low fat, and skim—it's been most unkind to the full fat variety. Whole milk per capita consumption has tumbled by 78 percent since 1970 (from more than 1.1 cups per day to fewer than .24)."
