Negative Effects Of Milk On The Human Body

Teaser: If you new what was really in your milk, you may never want to drink it again.

Thesis: Humans are designed to drink human milk, not cow’s milk. Humans should really old drink milk during infancy and that’s because all of the hormones in cow’s milk can cause many health issues.

     Most of us do not realize the number of people that are lactose intolerant. Worldwide estimates suggest that two-thirds of the population have trouble digesting milk because of lactose intolerance. According to Teacher Magazine, minorities may have difficulty digesting a sugar in milk known as lactose. An estimated ninety percent of Asian Americans, seventy percent of African Americans and Native Americans, fifty percent of Hispanics, and fifteen percent of Caucasians are lactose intolerant. Hand in hand with lactose

In today’s society, the media, in many ways control the average consumer’s way of thinking. Bright billboards, catchy radio jingles, colorful magazine ads, and eye catching T.V ads play a major role in obesity in the United States. The one dollar double cheeseburger, offered by Burger King and McDonalds is a prime example. Burger King offers more meat with a better taste, and the advertisements are very colorful. Media tends to influence un-natural way of thinking among the average consumer. These ads usually misrepresent images of their target audience, using physically fit looking people in the fast food ads. A large number of these advertisements place a great deal of attention on the foods taste, rather than its nutritional value. This causes the consumer to overlook the risk and pay more attention to the taste and convenience. Well designed fast food media campaigns play a major role in the unnatural thinking that leads to obesity in the United States.

Throughout our lives we have been told that milk is good for our body and helps to toughen our bones. Drinking milk started when people domesticated animals for food, which happened around 7500 years ago in the central Balkans and central Europe. By that time consuming milk was not as common as it is today. It was only farmers in some specific regions that were using cow’s milk. Milk’s market grew the mass production of meat in the 15th century. Afterwards in the 17th century, the idea of eating out and going to restaurants was born and fast food industries, started using animal’s meat for producing their meals. The rate of milk users grew with the rate of meat users and milk’s market got bigger and bigger every day. Mothers

One of my reasons is that strawberry milk is way more unhealthier than chocolate milk or white milk, is It has 22 grams of sugar with natural sugar added from milk.That is more than any other types of milk. It also has high-fructose corn syrup, which scientists agrees force your brain to eat more than necessary. It confuses your leptin and ghrelin which control your appetite. It has no vitamin C while chocolate milk has 2% and white milk has 4% of it.

The milk in the school cafeterias was not good,and I hope it's not really a good idea to serving milk in the school cafeterias because milk produces gas and gives lots of unhealthy energy . Why it is not good? For example milk can make you diarrhea and this problem is really dangerous sometime diarrhea can make ulcer also ulcer can kill the people another example.Why it is not good because milk can also make people weak. According to (source 2) “the condition is more common in people of Asian, African, Native American or Mediterranean ethnicity, and, while not dangerous, it can cause nausea, bloating, gas and diarrhea.” This quote shows condition is more common in people of Asian, African, and others country because lots of young people drinks

Dairy is actually the focus of a very heated debate in the paleo world. Some paleo experts will say a little dairy is okay, others will demand that dairy be avoided all-together. As for ancient humans, they never had the opportunity to debate about dairy. In paleolithic times, there were no domesticated animals.

Is it in the processing of the milk or something different? It only makes sense that it has to do with the human’s ability to process the milk. People who are lactose intolerant lack an enzyme called lactase that is found in the digestive system to breakdown lactose. Lactose is a sugar that is found in dairy products most notably milk. There are four types of lactose intolerance and they are Primary Lactase deficiency, secondary lactase deficiency, congenital lactase deficiency and familial lactase deficiency. Primary lactase deficiency is the most common and develops when a person is under 20 years old. Secondary lactase deficiency is when there is a problem with the small intestines and lactase production is very low. Congenital lactase deficiency is caused by a genetic mutation that produces little to no lactase and is inherited from the parents. Finally, familial lactase deficiency means the production of lactase is good but it is not enough to breakdown the lactase into glucose and transmit it into the bloodstream adequately and this is also inherited from parents. Based on this research I am convinced that a large population of the world cannot process milk because they have some form of lactose intolerence given the four possibilities previously stated. Milk still has all the nutrients, calcium and protein to help develop growing children and provide health benefits to humans. Lactose intolerance or the lack of the enzyme causes people to become sick from the consumption of milk and not necessarily milk itself.

Nichol’s writes that the USDA reports that low-fat milk is a low-cholesterol food, while foods with saturated fats are high-cholesterol food. The USDA states that foods “high in saturated fats and cholesterol” raise “low-density lipoprotein (LDL)” and can lead to coronary heart disease. This term dictates risk factors associated with a high or low LDL. This claim is backed up with Dr. G’s PowerPoint which states that cholesterol blocks the PVP pipes and arteries, which ultimately lead to coronary heart disease and atherosclerosis. Another claim that we would argue is accurate is that humans are not meant to drink and eat dairy. Nichols’s states that humans are the only species that drinks milk as adults and drinks milk from other animals. This seems very accurate, as both of these points are true. However, this statement is not backed up by any credible sources.

Babies can digest breast milk because their bodies produce lactase. Some adults cannot drink breast milk because, after childhood, their bodies stop producing lactase. The LCT gene made up of DNA, which is a nucleic acid, instructs the body to make lactase. After infancy or childhood, most human lose this gene resulting in the inability to digest lactose. Without the lactase enzyme, the body is unable to break down lactose to absorb into the blood stream. When the body is unable to digest lactose, it becomes lactose intolerant.

Dr. Taylor (2016) reports the average human infant rarely weighs as much as ten pounds and takes about one hundred eighty days to double their birth weight. The nutrients of milk from a cow are not meant to nourish a child, because it contains far more amounts of proteins and other nutrients than humans need. The only milk with the chemical makeup suitable for an infants’ consumption is the milk from his or her mother. Dr. Hyman (2016) reports that compared to human’s milk, the milk from a cow has three times more protein, and seven times more mineral content. He also states that ten times as much essential fatty acids and three times as much selenium is found in a human’s milk than a cow’s. Numerous people do not realize that milk is not where they receive most their calcium intake. In fact, Dr. Hyman (2016) says nearly all humans obtain much of their calcium from plants, just like cows. The milk from a cow is made up to grow a calf into a large cow. Humans do not need to grow as big as a cow so consuming what a calf would is not what people should be doing. Not to mention everything else found in the milk of a cow.

Not all people can drink milk. In early Egypt, milk was only for rich and wealthy (Molland 1). This was because not everyone could afford to pay for milk, or trade for milk because they are poor or unwealthy which means you have any money to waste. Also today a lot more people can drink milk but there are those people who can’t drink milk because they are lactose intolerant. Also, “around two-thirds of humans

Humans were already visually and linguistically different 8,000 years ago, but the introduction of raising cows led to humans gaining access to milk. Those that could drink milk and could gain nutrients from milk after their infant years had an advantage over those that could not drink milk. These were likely the humans that survived and had kids that also had the mutated gene that allowed them to drink milk as an adult. Due to their geographic location, some humans at that period of time had easier access to pastoralism. Those humans, after raising livestock would then have a higher lactose digestion capacity (Holden and Mace 615).

It has been brought to the public’s attention that drinking cows milk is not healthy for humans to consume. Should this product be taken off the shelves at the local grocery store? Milk is one of the most popular beverages in the United States. There are multiple advantages to the human body when milk is consumed. Milk contains nine essential nutrients, it creates bone and teeth health, and it is a large contributor to the economy in the farming communities of the United States. There are also cons to human’s intake of cow’s milk. There are negative health effects, lactose intolerance in the body, and false advertising of the product in regards to weight loss. Humans drink cows milk by the gallons since “it does a body good”; yet,
