Side Effects of Drinking Milk

For a long time it was believed that animal milk was an excellent source of calcium but recent studies reveal that calcium from animal milk is not absorbed into the body as well as plant based sources. It also has certain side effects as well, which include:

•          Bone Strength: A Swedish study team concluded that women who consumed large quantities of milk daily were more likely to sustain fractures than those who drank little to no milk. Instead of promoting bone health, animal protein in dairy products can have a calcium-leaching effect

•          Cancer: There are several evidences that suggest consumption of milk and other dairy products leads to an increased risk of prostate cancer. It was also found that women who consumed four or more servings of dairy products each day were twice as likely to develop serous ovarian cancer.

•          Cholesterol: A single serving of milk can contain as much as 24 mg of cholesterol and contain more than 20 percent of the recommended daily allowance (RDA) of saturated fat which means that when you consume three servings of whole milk, you’re already at 60 percent for the day, even before eating any food.

•          Acne: Several studies reveal that cow’s milk was linked to an increased prevalence and severity of acne in both boys and girls.

•          Weight gain: Contrary to what people believe more than 12,000 children showed that the more milk they drank, the more weight they gained.
