Interesting Milk Facts
There are various beliefs lingering in our society surrounding the fact whether milk is good for health or not that good enough. Milk is an important part of diet, especially a breakfast is incomplete without it, either it is coffee or tea, shakes or corn flakes, everything requires milk. So in nutshell without milk, nothing can taste good. Children don’t like to drink milk, reason are various, it could be lack of good taste, presence of cream, sometimes it is not of good quality or is not pure, apart from all likes and dislikes, one fact is certain that milk is good for health, however the following points will help you to get some ideas about its benefits.
- Sometimes people believe that raw milk is better than pasteurized milk. They even nurture a conception that, it could help to cure IBS, eczema & several other ailments. However science doesn’t find it to be quite positive, unless of course you want to get some food poisoning experience. They believe in purchasing milk that has already gone through pasteurization, it leaves the nutrients while finishing the injurious bacteria.
- Usually we believe that for cow’s milk almond milk could be a great option, however it’s not true when it’s all about protein. A single cup of milk contains 8 grams, which is even more than a large sized egg (hard boiled). However it’s just 1 gm in a single cup of almond milk. Nuts are really a good source of protein, even so the very primary ingredient for almond milk happens to be filtered water, but not almonds.
- Whole milk contains more calcium than the fat free milk. Basically a single cup of milk (whole milk) has little lower (276 mg) than non fat (299 mg). However you can figure out from the carton that a full cup carries 30 % of the regular value of your calcium needs. That is established by the straightforward digit of 300 mg.
- There is a popular belief that regular milk contains most of the vitamin D. But FDA restricts the quantity to 100 IU in a cup of cow’s milk. Hence its supply is quite lower (around 25%) than your regular need. It is even lower than the soy milk, which is around 30 %. However both are equally great sources of vitamin.
