misconceptions about milk and calcium

Several studies proved the benefits of milk and calcium and how are they healthy and helpful for our bodies, we always advise our children to drink milk to make them strong and help them grow up fast the most important ones of these benefits are that maintaining bones, keeping dental health, obesity reduction and colon cancer prevention calcium also strengthen the backbone, ensures the right shape of our bodies, keeps our bones in the proper shape, alleviates the presence of back pain and helps cardiac muscles to contract and relax properly, Surely that's not all the benefits
It just a small portion now we should stop for a while and ask ourselves after knowing all these amazing benefits. Do we know the appropriate amount of milk and calcium we have to take daily? What kind of milk is more beneficial to our health? And what is the difference between the various types of milk? Let's correct many of our mistaken beliefs and see what has been proved by the recent studies.

goat's milk is better than cow's milk for those who have an allergic reaction to lactose sugar.

Sugar is found in many of the foods we eat it's found in fruits , milk and also added to food and drinks to give them the sweeter taste .sugar is a type of carbohydrate and there are more than one type of sugar .the first one is glucose that is the main energy source of our bodies, sucrose that is the white stuff we spoon to tea, coffee and cookies recipes actually it contains from mixture of glucose and fructose and it's made from sugar cane or beets, fructose the sugar which comes from fruits and lactose the main sugar in milk and other dairy products and we are going to talk about lactose sugar specifically .
The allergy to lactose sugar is caused by the deficiency of the enzyme that analyses milk sugar in the digestive system.
The intolerance to lactose sugar and other sugars often affects the gastrointestinal tract after eating these sugars you will see symptoms
like ;
Bloating, gas, nausea or vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal cramp.
One of our misconceptions is that goat's milk is useful for those who suffer from lactose intolerance, but this is not true. Actually, the different types of milk have the same amount of lactose sugar through the goat's milk contains a slightly higher proportion of sugar milk .so if you are an allergy to lactose there is no difference between goat milk and cows' milk

Cottage cheese has more calcium than white cheese

Many people think that but it's not right cause cottage cheese has less than 25 to 50 percent of the calcium of the milk it is made from because of the curdling process encourages the loss of calcium into the whey so cottage cheese has less calcium and lactose than white cheese and today there is a tendency to return this curdling to raise the nutritional value of the cottage cheese but cottage cheese is a low-calorie cheese and it's often recommended as a part of healthy diet cause it has a lot of protein and essential nutrients and it is also so helpful losing weight when combined with resistance training. On the other hand, many doctors have warned against eating the other types of cheese in large quantity because of the high fats and calories. Depending on the variety of cheese you are eating you are getting about 100 calories per ounce

pasteurized milk is better than raw milk as a source of calcium.

People always talk about the benefits of milk, but they actually refer to the pasteurized milk, which is the only variety we can find in every grocery store. Many studies have proven that there is a serious doubt about the calcium in pasteurized milk. One of the worst side effects of the milk pasteurization is that it wastes a large amount of calcium, whereas the raw milk is a valuable source of not only calcium but also numerous beneficial nutrients such as vitamins, enzymes and useful bacteria like lactobacillus acidophilus. During pasteurization process, the milk is heated up to 150 degrees and sometimes higher it takes about 30 minutes to an hour typically for 45 minutes and actually, the high heat destroys enzymes, kills off most of the good bacteria, denatures most of the amino acids in protein, damages many of the vitamins and minerals and even makes things like calcium basically unusable by our bodies.

The higher calcium intake the greater muscle density you gain.

It is a long-held belief that if you want to increase your muscle mass you should drink large amounts of milk and concentrate on other calcium sources in the daily diet but it's not accurate as we think. Numerous studies have found no relation between high calcium intake and reduction of the fracture risk. There is a really superb book which simplifies the issue "the calcium lie" written by Dr. Report Thompson, our bones is a composition of a dozen minerals not only calcium. So if we focus excessively on the calcium-rich food we won't increase our muscle density because of the deficiency of the other minerals and that will also increase the risk of heart disease, osteoarthritis, and other diseases. Silica and magnesium are really important to our muscles, silica forms collagen and gives our bones the majority of its strength and flexibility and magnesium is important to nearly every organ, tissue, and function in our bodies. It's a vital factor in energy production and muscle contraction.

Non-fat dairy products helpful for health.

Growing number of experts and doctors around the world arguing that it's healthier to eat and drink dairy products which contain a full-fat left in. The fat dairy products are about 50-60 percent saturated fat. Dairy products contain oleic acid "what makes olive oil healthy ", along with another type of fat called conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) that may help with weight loss and lower the risk of cancer, there are many studies have proven that raw milk fats are so beneficial in the otherwise lots of people still believing that free fat or low-fat foods are healthier. But we must be aware the natural saturated fats are good for our health and always will be. Actually, the only type of fats we should limit are man-made fats. The palmitoleic acid, which occurs naturally in full-fat dairy products protect against insulin resistance and diabetes. So the belief that saturated fats increase the risk of heart diseases is completely wrong according to a 2010 study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, which presents 21 studies associated with the risk of heart diseases.

Soy and coconut beverages are healthier than real milk.

While some milk alternatives considered as a good sources of protein but they don't offer the same healthy nutrients package found in real raw milk and its products such as calcium, potassium, phosphorus, protein, vitamin A, D, B12 and K2 and many of us are deficient in K2 vitamin which found only in the real raw milk. There is no doubt this proliferation of choices comes from an increased market demand for milk alternatives as a result of the limited access to a good source of raw milk. Coconut milk may be the least nutritious, with no protein or one gram of protein and only a small amount of added calcium. Soy beverages often contain as much protein as cow's milk but have no calcium though many soy beverages are artificially fortified with calcium. Nutritionally, the plant-based milk like soy, almond, coconut, oat and hemp milk noted pale in comparison with raw milk and most of these beverages are fortified with calcium and vitamin D.

Drinking juice supplies more nutrients than milk

Milk contains twice as many vitamins and nutrients as fruit juice. The fruit juice contains vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants but it lacks fibers and also loaded with sugar. Actually, fruit juice contains as much sugar and calories as soft drinks and sometimes even more and we should be aware, reducing sugar is much more important than getting few nutrients so if you want to drink juice, it's better to eat fruits
