Milk is healthy and makes us strong.

Critical voices from science and natural medicine, and increasingly doubt this claim precisely the opposite, namely that milk can make us ill. American scientists found a link between milk and some cancers.

The fact is first of all that milk is classified incorrectly by many as a beverage. Due to the high protein and fat content of milk but is actually about the food.
With a calorie content of 320 calories in a pint of milk, we are not talking just about a "light" product-a not altogether insignificant detail for many overweight people or those who want to be.

The milk supply is also critical view of naturopathic point of view, since it can lead to allergies in many people (see lactose intolerance or milk protein) intolerance.

The use of the much publicized calcium from milk is to incorporate into question, since it does not seem possible that the body actually calcium in the bones. Due to the high proportion of animal fats, the intake of calcium and phosphorous from these sources may be even lower than from other foods.
To inject calcium into the usable form for the body, other calcium-rich foods such as: green vegetables, sprouts, fish, cereals, and soy is recommended.
The natural medicine recommends, especially in children frequently suffer from colds, and reduce the milk supply, since 70-80% is located in the intestinal immune response, which is heavily stressed by the complex digestive performance of cow's milk.
The myth of milk, therefore, we should also consider a more critical perspective.

What to do about lactose intolerance?
Lactose intolerance is one, as already mentioned above, the form of milk intolerance, namely, a lactose intolerance. It occurs when the body is able to cleave lactose. Is included in the diet lactose is not digested and, therefore, reached stable in the large intestine.
There he is broken down by bacteria which can cause the following symptoms:
1. Heartburn, bloating, diarrhea, constipation, vomiting (especially in children).
2. after some time:
3. Increased infection tolerance, fatigue, insomnia, general malaise
4. Mental disorders:
5. Learning / concentration problems, restlessness, irritability, mood swings, chronic. Fatigue, pleasure and unhappiness

Lactose intolerance can be diagnosed assayed.
It is noted among other things, how much lactose free of symptoms can be tolerated.
Because if only a limited amount of lactose intolerance is should not be completely avoided but can be in small amounts throughout the day were taken.
Acidified dairy products are better tolerated (yogurt, sour milk, cottage cheese, buttermilk), as well as more mature cheeses (hard cheese, soft cheese there) here, the lactic acid bacteria have been a part of the lactose removed.
Recommended is definitely a food diary to write how much you have eaten what food and how it was tolerated.
