Can Dairy Milk Be Consumed?


There are many controversial issues in food industry and dairy milk is one of them. Many claims that dairy milk can lead to calcium deficiency, increase breast cancer risk, acidify body and so forth. With such a wide range of claims, it is no wonder most people are confused about should we continue to consume dairy milk? With the increasing advancement of medicine and technology, milk controversy has gradually become clear. The source of this controversy lies not on milk, but rather on human factors.

HUMAN FACTOR 1: ARTIFICIAL ADDITIVES

Some dairy farmers may use high protein fodder to feed the cow as well as injecting antibiotics and growth hormones to enhance the health of the cows and to increase milk productions. Injection of antibiotic has been approved by the government to treat the unhealthy cows. However, the unhealthy cows can not be milked after the injection for 3-4 days as the antibiotic residues may move from blood into the milk. Without strict inspection, this contaminated milk will be sold to the market. High intake of such milk will increase the risk of developing prostate cancer and breast cancer as well as sexual immaturity among children.

HUMAN FACTOR 2: EXCESSIVE PROTEIN INTAKE

Protein is the basic building block of life. Every single cell in our body needs protein, in other words life can not be sustained without protein. For a healthy adult, 0.8-1.0 grams of protein is needed for each kilogram of body weight. If an adult weighs 60 kgs, daily protein intake will be 48-60 grams. Imbalance protein intake will lead to health crisis. Protein deficiency delays growth among children, decreases metabolic rate and reduces immunity. Long term protein deficiency can even damage the organs. Whereas excessive protein intake may cause acidic body, accelerate calcium loss, burden kidneys and even cause death. There are many food containing protein such as dairy products, meat, poultry, eggs. seafood, beans and nuts. Thus, milk is not the only protein source from our daily diet!
