"We started to research the question because professional recommendations around milk intake were unclear and doctors and parents were seeking answers," said Dr Jonathon Maguire, a pediatrician at St Michael's Hospital and lead author of the study.
Maguire and his team looked at how cow's milk affected body stores of iron and vitamin D — two of the most important nutrients in milk — in more than 1,300 children aged two to five years. They found that children who drank more cow's milk had higher Vitamin D stores but lower iron stores.
"We saw that two cups of cow's milk per day was enough to maintain adequate vitamin D levels for most children , while also maintaining iron stores. With additional cow's milk, there was a further reduction in iron stores without greater benefit from vitamin D," Maguire said in a statement.
The researchers recruited healthy children during routine doctor's appointments between 2008 and 2010.
The study suggested that children with darker skin pigmentation may not have enough vitamin D stores during the winter months.
