Milk
Hi Guys, I'm a newbie here.
Just wondered on your thoughts about milk. Is it any good when doing weights or is the fat content too high.
I have been guzzling the stuff like crazy.

Hi, welcome to the forum....
The human body has a job digesting pasturised milk. In raw milk there are active enzymes (lactase and lipase) which permits digestion. But pasturised milk is devitalised of lactase and other enzymes as as such can not be digested properly. The lack of enzymes and alteration of proteins also renders the calcium in milk largely unassailable.
It is better to obtain protein from normal foods or protein supplements. |

As Doug says, almost all adults are lactose intolerant. We are all born with the enzyme lactase, and can process milk efficiently as babies, but the body stops producing the enzyme after infancy. Drinking too much milk results in excess gas production, stomach aches and diarrhea. However, most adults can drink about 250 ml of milk per day without symptoms (although this doesn't mean that you're getting the benefits of milk).
What is interesting, however, is that 44% of lactose intolerant women regain the ability to digest lactose during pregnancy. So if you suspect that you're pregnant...

Use milk for calcium, not proteins.
Thats how I take it.

Hi..."The lack of enzymes and alteration of proteins also renders the calcium in milk largely unassailable". (see my post above for explanation) |
