It is generally accepted that milk has no benefit for adults; moreover, this product is even harmful to health. Is this so, answer the doctors quoted by Kuban24.tv.
According to experts, many adults do not actually produce enough lactase enzyme in their intestines to break down the lactose contained in milk. The lack of this enzyme leads to the fact that after drinking a glass of milk a person may feel discomfort in the intestines, and diarrhea is also possible. Often, lactase levels decrease not only due to age, but also due to gastrointestinal diseases, after surgery, or due to poor nutrition.
Milk can also cause allergies. Allergies usually occur in young children – in this case, you can replace cow’s milk with goat’s or sheep’s. With age, this allergy goes away.
A number of studies show that for women, excessive milk consumption is fraught with hormonal imbalances and the risk of developing breast and ovarian cancer. Men who drink a lot of milk have an increased risk of prostate cancer. Excess calcium can cause constipation, kidney stones, or kidney failure.
At the same time, adults can drink milk in moderation if the body does not rebel from it. According to doctors, the adult body needs 1 thousand 200 mg of calcium per day, the source of which is not only milk. In general, the total daily intake of milk and dairy products is 500 ml, experts note, adding that in the absence of contraindications, drinking milk will not harm an adult.
