Milk and diet

Milk and dairy

"Now we come to one of the most controversial and misunderstood items in the Western diet.

Orientals and Africans have traditionally avoided milk- except as a purgative. But in the Western world, people are told to drink milk everyday throughout their lives.


If we look at nature, we see that the young feed exclusively on milk until weaned away from it with other foods. The natural disappearance of the milk-digesting enzyme lactase from the human system upon reaching maturity proves that adult humans have no more nutritional need for milk than adult tigers or chimpanzees.


Today, milk is made even more indigestible by the universal practice of pasteurization, which destroys its natural enzymes and alters its delicate proteins.

Aye! I pretty much stopped drinking milk as a teenager just out of personal preference. After learning about raw milk I decided to give it a try. I not only enjoy raw milk, but my issues with heartburn and/or acid reflux have decreased dramatically.

Just my personal experience.

Everyone thinks that after drinking milk we become fatty and our weight goes higher.But this view is not right.Milk is useful in weight loss also not for weight gain.From milk we can get strength from the internal body which is in blood but our weight of body can't get so high.From milk we can get calcium.We can get tired quickly when there is lack of calcium.And one glass of milk a day useful in diet because this milk made other food in all milk and burns some unneeded calories of food.Thus way milk useful in diet.

The argument against milk often heard is that humans are the only animals that drink it after infancy. That is because we are the only ones to have domesticated other animals. However other animals will drink it regularly if they retain the lactase gene, and milk is offered to them - think of domestic cats. In the case of humans, those populations who have not had domesticated sources of milk have lost the lactase gene, so they get the abdominal upset from milk products, and those who did have domesticated sources of milk have kept the enzyme and are able to digest milk products without problem (look up lactase deficiency in PubMed - http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/arti...tool=pmcentrez is one article on point).

It is hard to isolate the elements of a diet that contribute to health. Dairy products are a part of the DASH diet and the Mediterranean diet. They include foods that are high in calcium and potassium, which contribute to lower blood pressure and denser bones, and those populations consuming those diets have increased longevity and lower cardiovascular disease. And milk has a highly desirable ratio of protein to carbohydrate.

I am unaware of any rigorous studies showing detrimental effects of pasteurization. One positive is that it does prevent scrofula, which I developed from unpasterized milk as a child. If you can be sure that your source of unpasteurized milk does not carry the tubercle bacillus, you can be safe from scrofula.

Milk is very important for everyone but sadly very few use it in their daily lives. A quote illustrates this:
"A house is not a home unless it contains food and fire for the mind as well as the body."

I agree with you, only that milk is rich source of protiens & calcium which is in pure form before pasteurization process. Only pure milk has the property to be get spoiled after 8 to 10 hours because of the bacterial growth which spoil the milk. So it always good to take it within 6 to 8 hours after its natural production.

If you like to have milk, you can have Almond milk as best choice, or rice milk. A would think that a cup of coffee would be OK if that would help you keep you in track.
