What's The Story With Milk? Is it Healthy Or Not

Milk is a contributing factor to America’s obesity problem, type one diabetes, and prostate cancers. 

 Japanese people tend to avoid dairy products, could that be why the Japanese people live so long, they have some of the highest life expectancies in the world.

We’ve all heard that milk is good for you. It has vitamin D and calcium – both ingredients for strong bones and good health, right?

Today, some new data is casting some doubt on the claims. It turns out, scientists aren’t totally clear on how much milk actually helps your bones. Exercise and other sources of vitamin D may actually do a lot more for overall bone strength, as is demonstrated in societies that don’t drink milk. In milk-heavy communities, the rate of bone fractures is actually higher. Is milk to blame? Potentially.

Not only is milk not necessarily good for strong bones, a new study has found that there’s some real unhealthy stuff in milk.

The study, conducted in 2013 by CoBank, found fat content, flavorings, and added sugars contribute to childhood obesity, which has reached pandemic proportions in the U.S. and other western countries.

Milk, among other dairy products, is a major part of America’s obesity problem. Milk is one of the largest sources of saturated fats and has been linked to diseases like prostate cancer and diabetes.

Plus, a majority of adults can’t even digest it. 90% of Asian-Americans and 75% of African-Americans, Mexican-Americans, and Jews can’t digest milk. 

And yet with all this data, the United States Department of Agriculture still recommends that its citizens consume 3 cups of milk or another dairy product every day for citizens ages 9 and older. Why?

It turns out, Big Dairy is a big thing in Washington D.C. In 2010, the New York Times reported that, in an attempt to get out of a fiscal rut, the pizza chain Domino’s planned to heap 40% more cheese onto its pizzas, and the USDA did nothing to stand in their way, fearing the influence of big dairy.
