Health Talk on Milk

 

Do not drink milk( if you are a non-vegetarian or have teeth or if you are more than 6 years of age and less than 70 years of age)


Lactase is an enzyme that breaks down milk in to glucose and galactose. The concentration of lactose enzyme levels are higher at birth so you digest milk faster but as you grow older the level of this enzyme(lactase) declines. 50 million people in USA have partial or complete intolerance to milk and milk products.
Mal-absorbed lactose is fermented by intestinal bacteria, producing gas and organic acids, resulting in increased stool volume and loose motions, flatulence and fullness in stomach.

So friends if you have gas problem or flatulence please consult your doctor and probably you have to stop drinking milk .For normal people who is taking a balance diet there is no point drinking liters of milk which will only increase your cholesterol and chances of intestinal diseases.
