1. lead to excessive protein intake, damage to health;
Professor Fan Zhihong of the School of Food at China Agricultural University pointed out that these claims are based on surveys of the Western population. First of all, the dietary structure of Westerners is characterized by high protein and high fat, coupled with a large amount of milk, cheese, ice cream, etc., but the Chinese people's protein intake is generally insufficient. She told reporters that the protein content of milk is 3%, much lower than foods such as meat, and even lower than soy products (5% for water tofu and 20% for dried tofu). From the point of view of dietary structure, it provides the body with a small proportion of protein, can only play a supplementary role. Therefore, "the stick of protein excess can not be hit on the head of milk".
2. Milk is acidic, which dissolves calcium and leads to osteoporosis;
There are tens of millions of middle-aged and elderly osteoporosis patients in China, and Prof. Fan said that the vast majority of them used to drink no or very little milk. In fact, milk is rich in calcium, magnesium, potassium and other metal elements, and is generally weakly alkaline -- according to authoritative estimates, 100 grams of milk contains 120 mg-130 mg of potassium and 110 mg-140 mg of calcium. Since milk is weakly alkaline, it will not break down the calcium in the bones, leading to osteoporosis. Surveys have shown that most osteoporosis patients in China
live
in rural areas and other areas where milk consumption is low.
3. Leads to increased chances of diabetes and skin allergies;
On the issues of diabetes and skin allergies, Prof. Fan pointed out that studies have found that infants who receive milk protein before 6 months of age have increased chances of developing diabetes as adults; and children fed with milk from 4-6 months of age are likely to have increased incidence of skin allergies. Therefore, she said, in infancy, we have to promote breast milk and less milk. But for children after 6 months of age, and especially for adults, milk consumption has little to do with diabetes or allergy incidence.
Here Gaffey says that allergy to milk is an individual phenomenon, usually to some milk proteins in the milk, just as some people can be allergic to pollen, and should not be expanded because of individual phenomena.
4. It leads to a higher chance of developing cancers such as breast cancer.
"Milk is carcinogenic" has received a lot of attention from researchers in recent years. They are based on a study conducted by the World Breast Cancer Society at its Ottawa meeting. The report said that after cows are injected with growth hormone, a growth hormone called IGF-Ⅰ will appear in the milk, which can cause breast cancer and other cancers. Prof. Fan pointed out, "The presence of growth hormone in milk produced in an unregulated manner leads to cancer, which is similar to how a person can become ill by eating pork containing lean meat extract." To solve this problem, milk producers must be required to strictly control feeding conditions, and it cannot be said that milk causes cancer. "In fact, milk contains a large number of substances similar to linoleic acid, which has an inhibitory effect on many cancers, especially colon cancer."
