This study is looking at how drinking whole milk versus skim milk affects your heart health. Researchers want to see if one type of milk is better for reducing your risk of heart disease. You could be eligible if you are at least 18 years old, use a smartphone, can use the Eureka mobile app, and drink at least one cup of dairy milk most days. You cannot join if you are lactose intolerant, have a history of heart attack or diabetes, or have familial hypercholesterolemia (a genetic condition causing high cholesterol). The main goal is to measure your Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), which is a measure of blood sugar control, at 2 and 4 months. The current status of this study is unclear, and it plans to enroll 110 participants.
