How much do you know about the misunderstanding of drinking milk? In fact, many taboos about milk may not have sufficient scientific basis. If you investigate them, most of them are untenable. Let's analyze some common taboos one by one.
Can't milk be drunk on an empty stomach?
Many people firmly believe that drinking milk on an empty stomach can't absorb the nutrition. However, one-year-old or two-year-old babies take milk as their staple food, and no one has heard that babies should drink half a bowl of rice porridge before drinking milk.
Then with the digestive ability of healthy adults, even drinking milk before meals can be well digested and absorbed. The fact is that drinking a glass of milk can effectively relieve hunger for more than an hour.
Some people say that drinking milk on an empty stomach will cause waste in protein. In fact, it is protein's waste to eat a lot of fish and meat instead of staple food at banquets, and milk contains about 4.6% lactose.
It belongs to carbohydrate, which will be decomposed first to save energy and protein; In addition, milk also contains about 3% fat, which also plays a role in supplying energy. Therefore, drinking milk on an empty stomach will not cause waste in protein.
It should be noted that if there is abdominal distension and diarrhea after drinking milk, it means that the body's lactose digestion ability is poor, or there are symptoms of lactose intolerance, so it is really not appropriate to drink milk on an empty stomach.
It is recommended to eat starchy food first, and then drink milk in small quantities many times, preferably yogurt. Besides, after getting up in the morning, you should drink a cup of boiled water first, and then drink milk 20 minutes later.
Milk can't be drunk with juice?
It is a normal phenomenon that casein in milk will precipitate when it meets weak acid. Therefore, some people think that milk precipitation loses its nutritional value or cannot be absorbed by the human body.
But think about it, the acidity of human stomach acid is much stronger than that of fruit juice, so even without fruit juice, milk will form precipitation in the stomach. In addition, yogurt fermented by lactic acid bacteria is also in a precipitated state.
All kinds of desserts made of milk and fruit are also very popular abroad, and I have never heard of digestive problems in Europe and America. If the gastrointestinal function is normal and you don't feel diarrhea and bloating when drinking cold milk, then you don't have to worry that drinking juice immediately after drinking milk will cause trouble.
Can't milk be drunk with sugar?
Some people think that adding sugar to milk will affect the digestion and absorption of milk. However, most milk powder products are sugared products, and consumers in various countries have been drinking sugared milk powder for more than a hundred years. Traditionally, Chinese consumers like to drink sugared milk, and there is no report of indigestion caused by adding sugar.
On the contrary, if you drink it when you are hungry, the nutrient source of milk energy supply can be more rationalized after adding sugar.
Must milk be heated?
Many people think that milk must be heated, even if it is sterilized milk, it should be boiled in a pot before drinking. In fact, the "milk scale" that sticks to the pot after boiling milk contains a lot of calcium, which causes serious nutritional loss. Sterilized milk can be drunk directly without heating within the shelf life after ultra-high temperature sterilization.
For those with cold stomach, excessive peristalsis of intestine after drinking cold milk may cause mild diarrhea. You may wish to use microwave oven or hot water to heat sterilized milk until it feels a little hot before drinking.
Only high calcium milk can supplement calcium?
The so-called "high calcium milk's calcium content is only 130 ~150mg/100ml, while the calcium content of ordinary milk can reach110mg/100ml or more, and some products can even reach100ml or more.
"High calcium milk has no obvious advantage over ordinary milk. Calcium in milk is easily absorbed milk calcium, which contains lactose, amino acids, vitamin D and other absorption promoting factors, while artificially added calcium is inorganic calcium such as calcium lactate with extremely low price, and its absorption rate may not reach the level of milk calcium.
It can be seen that if you need to supplement calcium, you only need to drink milk every day, and you don't necessarily need to drink "high calcium milk".
Will milk make you fat?
Milk contains about 86% water, and a bag of 250g full-fat milk only contains calories 150 kcal, which is equivalent to half a bowl of rice. However, eating 100 grams of biscuits will consume more than 450 kilocalories.
A can of coke also contains 140 kcal, which is equivalent to a bag of whole milk. Visible, milk is not easy to make people fat food, and the milk contains rich protein, vitamins and minerals, which is incomparable to Coke.
Milk has an excellent feeling of fullness. Drinking a glass of milk before meals can effectively alleviate hunger, reduce appetite and help people not eat so much at dinner. If you use two cups of milk and cold vegetables instead of dinner.
It can even help people lose weight. It should be noted that if you have the habit of drinking milk before going to bed at night, you should reduce your dinner intake accordingly to avoid getting fat by taking in extra calories.
The less fat in milk, the healthier?
The fat content in milk is only 3%. Drinking a bag of 250 grams (243 ml) of milk every day will increase the fat by 7.5 grams. For urban families, the daily intake of fat is usually more than 80 grams, and this fat in milk is not high in a day.
Even skim milk can only reduce 6.25 grams. In contrast, cooking with less oil, not eating fried food, eating less pork and going to restaurants are the major plans to reduce fat.

Milk, a food naturally similar to milk, avoids sugar-milk can react with fructose when heated to produce toxic fructose amino acids, which is harmful to human body.
Milk should avoid fruit juice-fruit juice can make protein coagulate into lumps, which will affect absorption and reduce the nutrition of milk.

Milk avoid leeks-milk mixed with leeks containing more oxalic acid will affect the absorption of calcium.
Milk avoids rice soup-leading to a large loss of vitamin A.

Avoid acidic drinks in milk-All acidic drinks will reduce the PH value of milk and make protein in milk coagulate into lumps, which is not conducive to digestion and absorption.
