72% of the calcium in the U.S. food supply comes from milk and other dairy products. Aside from that, milk has the basic nutrients and is an important source of protein, and it’s thought to be the ‘perfect’ food. As a result, many consider milk a necessary and healthy part of every individual's diet, but that’s not necessarily true. While milk does offers many nutritional benefits, research has proven that milk, and other dairy products, are bad for one’s health.
Consumption of milk can lead to higher risk of heart disease. Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States and worldwide. Unfortunately, milk may be contributing to that number. Margaret Moss, the director of Nutrition and Allergy Clinic in the UK, says that “Several …show more content…
Professor of Epidemiology Peter Elwood, MD has a valid argument for why milk can be healthy. His examination of milk consumption finds that “men with greater consumption of milk experienced in the risk of ischaemic [inadequate blood flow] stroke and a possible reduction in ischaemic heart disease risk.” All the same, milk is high in cholesterol and that still introduces the risk of heart disease. In an effort to counter and eliminate heart disease once and for all(and as suggested by Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine) one could try and adapt to a “low-fat, plant-based diet that eliminates dairy products…” plus a few lifestyle changes. The FDA[Food and Drug Administration] is responsible for public health and in 1994, rBST(another name for synthetic bovine growth hormone) was being used to increase milk production. They said there was “currently no way to differentiate analytically between naturally occurring bST and recombinant bST…” and that “such unqualified statements may imply that milk from untreated cows is safer or of higher quality than milk from treated cows. Such an implication would be false or misleading.” Since this information is slightly outdated, and though the FDA approves bST as an animal drug, and numerous studies have proven that there are differences and effects. Calcium-rich foods lose their profitable value after a specific extent. The more pressing needs of calcium abate after the developmental childhood years and depends more on the amount of exercise a teenager gets. As it turns out, bones are barely affected by dairy and don’t hamper
