We’re at the tenth entry of the myth series about the nutritional value of cow’s milk. Today’s myth….
Milk helps coat the stomach and ease the pain of ulcers.
This idea has been passed down through the last few generations and seems to still be floating around.
Dairy products are acid-forming foods. Milk will aggravate an ulcer. You’ll want to talk to your doctor if you think you may be dealing with an ulcer.
Intolerance?
If you suffer from bloating, cramps, gas and even diarrhea after eating a grilled cheese sandwich or drinking a milkshake, you may be “lactose intolerant.”
After age four, the intestines slow down the production of lactase, an enzyme needed to digest milk. Makes sense, nature says that around that age it’s time to wean off milk anyway. For many people, the enzyme completely stops being produced, so when the milk enters the intestines, the lactose (milk sugar) ferments. Thus causing various degrees of discomfort.
The solution!
A switch from animal based to plant based drink. If milk is a major part of your life style and you are looking for an alternative, you should consider soymilk. It’s high in calcium and its protein is easy to digest. And when you make it yourself, it costs a factor of store bought.
