๐ซ๐ถ๐ Why you should stop/reduce cow's milk and dairy ??? ๐ซ๐ถ๐
My dear steemians,
Today, I want to talk about cow's milk! I'm tired of hearing people talking positively about the benefits of cow's milk while it's very bad for your health. I really love cows but their milk is not compatible with an adult diet.
I based my research on several serious sources and with my personal diet experience. I learned a few months ago that I am lactose intolerant. And since, I read about it, I stopped consuming dairy products and I saw the changes.
So, I will try to share my knowledge on this subject and tell you why you should reduce or even stop cow's milk and dairy.
Why do the media extol the benefits of cow's milk for health ??? Simply because dairy is a huge business in industrialized countries. They can't afford to lose their income ...
A bit like gluten and sugar. Sugar will be the subject of a future post :).
If you are interested in gluten, I invite you to read my last post:
[EN,FR] ๐พ๐ซ Why you should stop/reduce your gluten intake ??? Pourquoi vous devriez stopper/rรฉduire votre consommation de gluten ??? ๐พ๐ซ
5 reasons to reduce or stop cow's milk and dairy.
1- Cow's milk is allergenic
Allergy is a reaction of the immune system when it encounters a food allergen (a protein). In cow's milk, there is three times more protein than in breast milk.
This can cause allergies and pathologies such as:
- asthma
- eczema
- asthenia
- headache. migraine
- bronchitis
- nasopharyngitis
...
Lactose is a naturally occurring sugar in milk. To digest it, you have to have an enzyme called lactase, which mammals have from birth. This lactase production stops almost completely after weaning.
Therefore, continuing to consume dairy products causes bad effects such as intolerance.
Intolerance is triggered by the enzyme, which causes lactose to accumulate and ferment in the gut. What causes:
- bloating
- flatulence
- diarrhea
- nausea
- intestinal pain
...
2- Cow's milk is indigestible
Lactose and saturated fats in milk do not allow the human stomach to digest it. Casein adheres to the intestinal walls, causing the production of antibodies by the body and therefore more or less severe inflammation.
3- Cow's milk can bring many diseases
Depending on the milk origin and the feeding of the cows, we can find in the milk: pesticides, heavy metals, but also hormones ...
A good cocktail for your body, right? ๐ท
The fatty acids contained in the milk would be harmful and would increase the chances of.
- breast cancer
- coronary disease
- pro-inflammatory effects.
Antibiotics can destroy your intestinal flora and weaken your immune system, which can no longer protect the body against disease.
4- Cow's milk is not good for bones
It is a popular idea to think that milk is good for bones! The industrials use it sales argument because it is a big lobbying in the agribusiness.
Superman, you are a lier because excessive intake of more than three dairy products per day weakened bone structure. It becomes more friable and therefore more prone to fractures.
The calcium content in milk is a myth. Sardines, spinach, almonds, nuts, oranges, seafood, white beans, chickpeas, spirulina or wholemeal bread.
5- Cow's milk generates cholesterol and acne
A high intake of milk or dairy products promotes the presence and increase of the bad cholesterol that is responsible for most cardiovascular diseases.
Dihydrotestosterone, present in milk, is the hormone of acne and that's what activates the production of sebum therefore acne.
In summary,
There is nothing in dairy products and cow's milk that can not be found elsewhere in other foods.
There are many alternatives and lactose-free products today. I advise you to taste the plant milks like almond milk, coconut milk or rice milk that are very tasty!
Here are some simple and delicious recipes lactose and gluten-free:

I gave up meat and dairy over 2 years ago. Everything is just so much better without it. I have no inflammation, I used to get serious sinus and chest infections. I also used to get really bad digestive discomfort after drinking or consumption anything with dairy in it.
So glad to see you doing a post like this @flamingirl. It is really great as you have such a large reach with your following.
Keep up the great work. ๐
Thank you for your comment @moonunit! It's great to share your experience with us! All people who have stopped milk and/or meat, feel much better! I am convinced that it is good for health and for the planet. At the moment I consume meat occasionally but I think I will stop a day too!
Have a Nice Sunday! ๐

Hola @flamingirl, muy interesante tรบ articulo comparto tu opiniรฒn con respecto a las aparentes ventajas del consumo de leche, ciertamente es mรกs el รญnteres de ventas y no perder los recursos financiero๐ต que cualquier otra cosa; los niรฑos y niรฑas al nacer deberรญan consumir en exclusivo leche materna hasta los dos aรฑos o mรกs depende de el caso y comenzar el consumo de alimentos solidos con cremas y papillas a los 6 meses; existe evidencia cientรญfica que lo niรฑos que consumen leche materna se mantienen mรกs sanos y son menos propensos a cuadros alergรญcos,problemas de reflujo e inclusive de problemas o enfermedades respiratorias. Asรญ que si no deja de consumir leche de vaca ,por lo menos reduzca en gran medida su consumo.
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
ยกGracias por este comentario que completa muy bien este artรญculo! Estoy de acuerdo con los bebรฉs porque, digan lo que digan, la leche quรญmicamente modificada no puede ser mejor que la leche materna natural, no lo creo porque es lรณgico :).
so nice artical dear @flamingirl nice to read it thanks for sharing this is the best article read on steem it hope you also visit my blog
You make it sound like milk is only thought of as healthy because of industrialism.
Europeans have been drinking milk and eating cheese for a long long time, way before we even had corporations.
I try to drink at least a half liter each day. It's a great source of energy and nutrition.
Before, milk, like many other foods, was much healthier because much less modified. There are some serious studies (which are not funded by industry giants), which show that it is bad for the adult organism. But you are free to think what you want;) Good Sunday!
:-) you too, I will never give up cheese!
I can understand... cheese is life!!! But I can't anymore... sniffffffff
all bro I really like all of your posts. It conveys the mind of everyone. To post such a lot of thank you. Do not you know how this comment was made, if you like it, will certainly upvote.
Nice post. Really a good topic as me also lactose intolerant .
and the points are true and those effects but i don't think it happens to everyone. Cow milk does suit many people and they really benefit them a lot. But Cow milk are really bad for lactose intolerant people.

Voili voilou, en tous cas je suis heureux de voir que de plus en plus de personnes prennent conscience qu'une surconsommation de lait est trรจs mauvais pour la santรฉ.
Mike.
