What is Wrong with Milk/Dairy
It’s killing us, that what's wrong with it!
Milk is unhealthy and the people who sell it to you don't want you to know that. Milk and dairy are two of the most popular food items in the world. They are also two of the most disliked foods.
Too many people in this world have been brainwashed into thinking that milk and dairy are good for them.
There are so many alternatives to milk/dairy these days that it’s hard to find a reason to consume them.
The truth about milk/dairy
Milk is not the key to a healthy diet. There are many alternatives that can help you achieve an optimal health balance with much less cholesterol and saturated fat. Almond milk, rice milk, oat milk, and soy milk are great alternatives to dairy.
If you’re looking for something that will help your heart, avoid dairy as it has been linked to an increased risk of heart disease.
Many alternative kinds of milk don’t need refrigeration, which means they can be enjoyed without any artificial preservatives or artificial flavors. They also don’t need to be pasteurized so they’re often lactose-free and gluten-free as well.
If you feel like you should drink something more natural, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t choose these alternative kinds of milk over drinking dairy products.
There Are a Lot of Hormones in It
Milk and dairy have a lot of hormones in them, which can have negative effects on your body. The main hormone in milk is estrogen that has been linked to breast cancer.
Other hormones in milk are IGF-1, which has been linked to Alzheimer’s disease and prostate cancer, and sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), which can harm your liver.
This is just the tip of the iceberg! It’s not worth it to put these hormones into your body. Another reason to stop drinking milk/dairy is that they don’t even contain calcium.
Your body needs to consume calcium every day so you can maintain healthy bones, but cows naturally produce it internally.
So why would you drink cow’s milk if it doesn’t even contain what you need?
It Creates Mucus
There’s a reason why you have to spit after drinking it. It’s because milk contains mucus-forming proteins.
Mucus is a natural secretion from your body that helps with the fight against infection and disease.
When you consume milk, it creates mucus in your stomach, which can cause all sorts of health problems, including irritable bowel syndrome, acid reflux, and more.
Causes Colitis and Celiac Disease
Milk is a poor source of Vitamin D and calcium, which is why you need to supplement your diet with these nutrients from another source.
The high lactose in milk can cause gastrointestinal distress, which can lead to diarrhea or constipation. What’s more, lactose intolerance is associated with chronic inflammatory diseases like irritable bowel syndrome and Crohn’s disease.
Lactose intolerance also causes the body to produce excess gas and may make digestion difficult for those who have difficulty digesting carbohydrates.
Milk has been linked to an increased risk of colorectal cancer due to its high sugar content.
