Milk contains fat-soluble vitamins, proteins, carbohydrates and minerals. This makes milk one of nature’s most perfect food. But which milk is most recommended? Lets examine the relative merits of different types of milk.
Soy Milk:
Most soybean grown today are genetically modified varieties.
Hence it is not that good an option. Further commercially manufactured soybean milk is generally sugared up and made nutritionally inferior. Even the ‘plain’ soy milk is loaded with sugar.
Processed Cow’s Milk:
Processed milk is homogenized and pasteurized. Homogenization artificially modifies dairy fats and pasteurization kills all the beneficial microorganisms.
Hence this too is not a good option as ultimately today processed milk is coming from cow’s which have been injected with a lot of antibiotics. So ultimately this milk is bad for health as well as bad for the cow who gives it!
Raw Milk:
This is a good option as raw milk is neither homogenized nor pasteurized. It is easier to digest and is probiotic. Raw milk is not as popular as it is not allowed to come in the public eye by the processed milk industry. Rather it is publicized as dangerous, because the live cultures might get contaminated with unfriendly bacteria and harm someone. But it is still superior to the processed milk which is in fact nothing but ‘dead milk’.
Good options in raw milk are raw cow’s milk and raw goat’s milk.
Fermented Raw Milk:
This is known as the best dairy beverage for health. It is manufactured by inoculating raw milk with bacterial cultures. It is a nutritionally superior beverage which is very easy to digest.
Hence it can be said that any day more of raw and natural milk is beneficial to us. As far as possible we should avoid chemically treated milk. Happy Drinking!
