Is Milk a Health Food?


This might come across as shocker but the answer is a No. (a Might be no, actually).

Kinda depressing eh? Especially for people like me who loves drinking milk. Full cream somemore.

The last few weeks, I have been researching on the topic of milk being a health food for the purpose of my gene cell team's project. The module is sort of like a bio-molecular, health and life science *all rolled into one* module. Well, anyway, I think I had enough on the huge fallacy that milk is a health food. Apparently as what the research indicates, we have been blinded by the milk industry. Think Got Milk? advertising.

Milk can lead to increased risk of osteoporosis, cancer, and heart disease. Blah blah blah...

Sometimes, too much knowledge or rather awareness ain't necessarily a good thing.

After all that's being said, I'm still sticking to drinking my favorite Meiji milk and yes, still full cream.

Hahaha. I'm a stubborn milk drinker.
