Perfect Food? Don’t too trust milk.

Doctors recommend three cups of milk to prevent osteoporosis. Experts advise women that want a bright and clear skin, also. Could milk be the answer to preventing of osteoporosis and keeping of clear skin?

Thierry Souccar, the author of ‘Lait, Mensonges et Propagande(우유의 역습; The counterattack of Milk)’, science professional writer and journalist from France, says devastatingly, drinking milk can bring about the opposite effect.
Milk makes a newborn calf’s weight to increase over 150kg for one year. Excessive consumption of such milk causes the chronic disease such as overweight, diabetes, breast cancer and allergy, even deteriorates. Also, milk contains the female hormone such as estrogen and progesterone, these hormones make the breast danger, and a growth factor of milk is indicated cause of prostate cancer.

So, why many people believe milk is perfect food?
The author analyzes some fact, and tells that is the answer to question. In 1950, Europe dairy industry lobbied the government to provide milk as school meals for children, it fascinated children’s flavor, and over the years, people were hypnotized. In 1950s, Europe even announced a guide of nutrition; drink two cups of milk with lots of sugar a day.

In 1970, Europe dairy industry received good news again. Doctors diagnosed, women in the menopause suffering from osteoporosis need intake of calcium. After that, people believe it is common sense that milk is necessary for intake of calcium. But the result was awry from their expectation.

According to a research, although Americans consume 250kg dairy products per year, frequency in fracture of the femoral region was six times higher than Chinese who don’t drink milk. It means that there is no scientific evidence that milk makes bones stronger than before.
This book accuses the harmfulness of milk, focusing on the actual circumstances in France and Europe, but it may affect Korean’s table that following to Western’s diet.

In the end of this book, it says that milk is not necessary to be best way to take calcium, and provide information that the intake and amount of calcium in each food and what food is good for keeping health.
