The Reason for Not Drinking Milk from Cows

Many people are firm believers that cow’s milk is the “perfect food” and you won’t be able to change their minds. But parents need to train themselves about milk allergic reactions and lactose intolerances with their children in mind to be forewarned. One big reason why cow’s milk isn’t that good for you is that it was made for cows, not humans. Second, if you are not consuming magnesium along with cow milk, you are not benefiting from the calcium. Last, if you eat something with iron in it, your body also can’t uptake calcium at all. So, red meat and a glass of milk, is not a great idea.

Milk allergy is the reaction of the immune system to milk proteins and products. These are signs and symptoms that will appear while the child is an infant. This affects the digestive system along with skin and airways. Milk allergic reactions can be dangerous to infants if not realized and treated. Infants who develop milk allergic reactions are usually put on soy milk by the family doctor.

Milk sugar intolerance shows up a couple of years later and is caused by the body not being able to break down the milk sugar milk sugar. This affects the digestion only, and causes symptoms such as gas, bloating, and loose bowels. This happens only after drinking milk or eating dairy products. This is not a serious intolerance and many people can still drink milk or dairy products in small quantities and not really sense any symptoms.

If a child or adult is found to be milk-allergic, it is best to know that not all “milk-free” labels are misleading, and they still can have milk protein in it. Some of the soy cheeses that are labeled as milk free can still have some milk in it, so read the labels very carefully.

Many non-dairy foods can be substituted for milk or milk products. Be conscious, however, that just because it is is labeled “nondairy,” it does not inevitably mean that it is milk free. Even a “milk-free” label can mislead you. For instance, some soy cheeses claim to be milk free but may still contain milk protein. That’s why it’s constantly significant to look at all food labels when you have a milk-allergic child.
