Many dietary recommendations extol the benefit of milk: this drink is believed to be a source for our body essential trace elements and calcium. However, Harvard researchers David Ludwig and Walter Willett categorically disagree. They are deeply convinced that the milk - a completely useless product.
Of course, fans of dairy products, this news will not be happy, but the Harvard researchers are not calling to give up milk once and for all. They only emphasize that the established norms of consumption of milk - and that three servings a day - are not justified.
As proof of Willett and Ludwig give the results of some experiments. From these data, in particular, that the use of low-fat dairy products for weight loss is very abstract. Substitution whole skim milk did not lead, for example, in these experiments to weight loss in humans. Scientists even believe that low-fat dairy products, by contrast, could facilitate the recruitment of extra kilos, as they are "less nutritious" and, therefore, people will look at this more snacks to soothe your appetite.
Also, researchers have questioned the benefits of low-fat milk for heart and blood vessels.
As for calcium, milk is considered an indispensable source of his, as scientists say, too naive. Yes, a person needs a certain amount of calcium per day, for example, to strengthen the bone. However, Willett and Ludwig are based on statistical data, which shows that in countries where milk is not used because of the historical traditions, the number of fractures per capita is even less than the "dairy" countries. According to experts, this trend suggests that the right amount of calcium a person can get from other foods, and it is even more effective than the use of milk.
In general, to refuse or not milk - decide. Experts from Harvard believe that failure will not bring harm. (READ MORE)
