For all my milk lover friends, as much as how milk is claim to be healthy ever since we are young, there are potential dangers to it.
Studies show that there's a link between cancer n dietary hormones and drinking milk might increase our chances of getting cancer. It's better to go for skim milk to prevent overly high levels of oestrogen.
Drinking milk contributes to high cholesterol. It is due to the saturated fat in milk (full-cream milk especially), which causes high blood cholesterol. Opt for soy milk which has no saturated fat and its fat content is half of that of whole milk!
Lastly, there might be a link between Crohn's disease and drinking milk.
So what is Crohn's disease? It is an inflammatory bowel disease, the general name for diseases that cause swelling in the intestines. This is because the symptoms of Crohn’s disease are similar to other intestinal disorders, such as irritable bowel syndrome and ulcerative colitis, it can be difficult to diagnose. Ulcerative colitis causes inflammation and ulcers in the top layer of the lining of the large intestine. In Crohn’s disease, all layers of the intestine may be involved, and normal healthy bowel can be found between sections of diseased bowel.
This disease has been linked to a bacteria that resides in the pus of cow's milk!!
