Many people get diarrhea after drinking a glass of milk. This reaction of the body is due to lactose intolerance. Moreover, the Chinese people are particularly prone to it. Over time, lactase activity in the human body decreases or disappears completely. Symptoms of lactose intolerance include bloating, abdominal pain, diarrhea, skin rashes, etc.
For people who have recently had surgery on the abdominal organs, the gastrointestinal tract is not yet functioning as it should. Therefore, experts also recommend drinking milk only after full recovery.
There is a scientific study proving that milk increases the chances of developing liver and breast cancer. This study was conducted by professors from Oxford University, the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, and the Peking University Institute of Public Health. About 510,000 adults in China participated in the study.
It turned out that those who regularly consumed dairy products were more likely to develop liver and breast cancer than those who refused these products. So, if you drink 50 ml of milk every day, the risk of developing liver cancer will increase by 12 percent, breast cancer by 17 percent, and overall cancer risk by 7 percent.
Recently, another study was conducted in the United States on cancer and dairy products. The researchers concluded that there was an association between the likelihood of prostate cancer in men and the intake of calcium and dairy products. It turned out that those who consumed more calcium and dairy products were more likely to “acquire” this type of cancer.
At the same time, expert nutritionist Ruan Guangfeng says that on the contrary, some scientific studies show that dairy products protect against colorectal cancer.
However, it is best to follow the dietary guidelines established for the Chinese. The latest recommendations say you should drink 300-500 ml of milk a day.
