cow’s milk : Bad for your health ?

It’s hard to believe that milk is so bad because it goes so well in our pancakes and other cakes. Nevertheless, if the food industry has been bombarding us with advertising that milk is good for our health, the figures speak for themselves: milk is not good for our health.

 

 

Here are 4 good reasons to avoid dairy products :

 

Milk is not easy to digest

From the age of 7, lactase, the enzyme that makes it possible to digest milk, disappears from our body, and in adulthood a very large majority of the population can no longer stand milk. 6 to 10% of adults in France would be intolerant to cow’s milk.

Allergy to cow’s milk

L’allergie aux protéines de lait de vache est la première cause d’allergie chez les bébés et les enfants. Ces allergies provoquent urticaire, gonflement du visage ou des lèvres, difficultés à respirer, vomissements, constipation, eczema, otites… Bref, la liste est longue. Si votre bébé ne se sent pas bien ou présente des signes d’allergie après la consommation de lait de vache, il convient de consulter en urgence.

 

Danger of cow’s milk (Diseases related to dairy products)

Apart from the many digestive disorders that cow’s milk can cause, milk can be much more harmful than it seems.

Migraine

A study analyzed a group of people suffering from headaches, and once the consumption of cow’s milk was stopped, the symptoms were significantly reduced.

 

Chronic fatigue

A study carried out in 1991 in Rochester (NY) concluded that drinking cow’s milk would increase the risk of chronic fatigue by 44.3%. Although the study is not very recent, these figures are surprising.

Cancer

Hormones present in cow’s milk have a relationship with the development of different cancers (ovaries, pancreas, prostate, stomach, breast, lungs and testicles)

Other diseases could be correlated with the consumption of cow’s milk (Asthma, Crohn’s disease, sclerosis, Ulcers …).

Alternative to cow’s milk

Vegetable milks are for us the best solutions to reduce or even stop our consumption of cow’s milk.

1. Almond milk

Very rich in vitamins E, magnesium and iron, it is one of the best vegetable substitutes for cow’s milk.

2. Oat milk

Very rich in vitamins B and E, its low glycemic index is comparable to that of cow’s milk.

3. Coconut milk

Rich in vitamins and minerals: it strengthens the immune system, bones and protects nails, skin and hair.

5. Soy milk

Very good but still be careful of the gluten allergy problems that may arise.
