Is milk useful for an adult? Should adults give up milk?

Avoiding milk consumption and choosing lactose-free foods is a very common phenomenon nowadays. Various sources tell us that milk is harmful and has a negative effect on the body of an adult. Is the argument that no adult mammal drinks milk valid, and should we really stop consuming it?

How much milk should be in a healthy diet?

According to a healthy diet, you should consume at least two large glasses of milk per day. It can be replaced with kefir, yogurt and partially cheese.

A few words about lactose

Lactose is a disaccharide found in dairy products and in particular in milk. It consists of glucose and galactose. The enzyme lactase is necessary to break the bond between these sugars. With age, the production of this enzyme in the human body may decrease, but this is not the rule and is rare in our society. Lactose intolerance occurs more often after antibiotic treatment, but this is a temporary phenomenon, and after a while you will be able to consume milk again.

Lactose intolerance and milk allergy are the most common arguments for stopping the consumption of milk and dairy products. Is this correct?

Lactose intolerance affects less than 15% of people in Russia. This problem is much more common in other parts of the world. Milk allergies usually occur in young children who outgrow it over the years. Therefore, this argument should not be used as an excuse for not taking milk and other dairy products.

If you suffer from lactose intolerance, you can still consume milk and other dairy products.

Having lactose intolerance does not mean that you should stop consuming all the milk. People with this condition can consume 11-12 grams of lactose per serving, which corresponds to an average glass of milk. In this case, it is good to introduce fermented dairy products such as natural yogurt, kefir or buttermilk into your diet. Despite the lactose content, they are usually better tolerated. In case of lactose intolerance, it is recommended to choose lactose-free products or add lactase (an enzyme that breaks down lactose).

So, to summarize: everyone can drink milk - both children, adults, and the elderly.
