Milk may be very good indeed for the skin, according to Australian researchers.
In fact some of the chemicals in milk are so powerful scientists believe they may be capable of healing wounds.
Scientists at CSIRO in Australia - the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation - have successfully used milk extracts to heal wounds in animals.
They are now about to test the chemicals on human wounds. The chemicals can be extracted from whey, the part of the milk left over when cheese is made.
Among the substances found in milk are growth factors - which are thought to be responsible for encouraging wounded skin and tissue to grow.

Australian scientists also claim to have discovered new chemicals which can rejuvenate ageing skin.
The scientists at the CSIRO - the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation - say the chemical Beta Alistine is naturally present in human tissue.
A long list of benefits is claimed for Beta Alistine. It restores a youthful appearance to ageing skin and provides protection against the sun's ultra-violet rays, it is said.
It may also prevent the wrinkling of collagen fibres.

The flu vaccine was devised at the University of Michiganand has been tested on 1,600 children across America.

It is claimed that the new vaccine was 93 per cent successful in the trial.

A breakthrough has been made in unlocking the mysteries of the Hepatitis C virus - one of the most deadly of the new viruses to emerge during the 80s.
Scientists at the US National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases have for the first time isolated the virus in a form that can be cultured in the laboratory.
The findings open the way for full-scale research into hepatitis C - reckoned by some doctors to be more infectious and deadly than HIV and than other hepatitis viruses.
According to the NIAID, hepatitis C causes up to 10,000 deaths a year in the US and leads to another 1,000 liver transplants.
