THE FACTS:<\/h3>\n

Rumours abound that milk is full of hormones.

THE FACTS:<\/h3>\n

The idea that plain milk is full of additives or artificial ingredients couldn\u2019t be further from the truth.<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”30″][vc_column_text]Plain milk is naturally nutritious and nothing is added to it! There\u2019s also very little processing involved in getting fresh milk from the farm to our homes, either.<\/p>\n

Firstly, milk is pasteurised to destroy harmful bacteria so that it\u2019s safe to drink. All this means is that the milk is heated up very quickly and then cooled down again. Next, milk is separated into its cream and liquid parts. These parts are then blended back together again so that the amount of fat in the milk can be standardised, depending on whether it\u2019s to be sold as whole, semi-skimmed, 1% or skimmed.<\/p>\n

Finally, most milk is homogenised to break up the fat globules, so that they don\u2019t separate and float to the top to form a layer of cream. This simply involves pushing the milk through a nozzle at high pressure \u2013 a bit like a power hose \u2013 which breaks down the fat globules and disperses them evenly throughout the milk.<\/p>\n

So, whilst milk may undergo a number of different processes depending on the final product, claims that plain milk is packed with additives aren\u2019t true.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” vertically_center_columns=”true” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” bg_color=”#ffffff” scene_position=”center” text_color=”light” text_align=”right” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” id=”milk-causes-mucus-and-congestion” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”padding-3-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color=”#dd9933″ background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ font_color=”#ffffff” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” centered_text=”true” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][milestone heading_inherit=”default” subject_padding=”0″ color=”Default” effect=”motion_blur” milestone_alignment=”default” number=”4″ number_font_size=”158″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”left” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”25″][vc_column_text]\n

THE FACTS:<\/h3>\n

For several years now, there’s been a theory that our health can be improved by eating fewer acidic foods.<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”30″][vc_column_text]Supporters of alkaline diets believe that high-protein foods like milk make our blood more acidic. In response, they say the body attempts to offset this acidity by leaching or taking alkaline minerals such as calcium from the bones. They say this in turn weakens the bones, and increases the risk of osteoporosis. Hence claims that milk leaches calcium from bones were born.<\/p>\n

However, the acidity or alkalinity of our blood (which is known as the pH) is very carefully controlled by our kidneys and lungs, and isn\u2019t affected by what we eat. Furthermore, research shows acid-forming foods have no negative effects on calcium levels or the health of our bones.<\/p>\n

As with many \u2018fad\u2019 diets<\/a><\/u>,<\/span> this is based on flawed theory and a lack of evidence. There\u2019s no evidence whatsoever that what we eat affects our blood pH at all!<\/p>\n

The truth is, foods that provide protein and calcium \u2013 such as milk, yogurt and cheese<\/span><\/a><\/u> \u2013 are far more likely to benefit<\/i> bone health as both of these nutrients are needed for the growth and development of bone in children and maintaining normal bones in adulthood and older age.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” vertically_center_columns=”true” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” bg_color=”#ffffff” scene_position=”center” text_color=”light” text_align=”right” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” id=”dairy-is-bad-for-your-skin” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”padding-3-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color=”#dd9933″ background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ font_color=”#ffffff” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” centered_text=”true” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][milestone heading_inherit=”default” subject_padding=”0″ color=”Default” effect=”motion_blur” milestone_alignment=”default” number=”6″ number_font_size=”158″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”left” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”25″][vc_column_text]\n

THE FACTS:<\/h3>\n

Is there a link between dairy and acne? Whether it\u2019s acne, oily skin or rosacea, dairy products often find themselves unfairly blamed for causing skin conditions or making their symptoms worse.<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”30″][vc_column_text]Overall, skin experts agree there\u2019s not enough proof to suggest a clear link between dairy and acne, nor is dairy a key trigger for skin problems in most people. For example, according to the British Association of Dermatologists<\/a><\/u><\/span>, there\u2019s little evidence that any food causes acne or that hormones in dairy products affect it.<\/p>\n

Similarly, when it comes to rosacea \u2013 a condition that causes a flushing of the skin, especially on the face \u2013 the British Association of Dermatologists highlight hot drinks, alcohol and spicy foods<\/a><\/u> <\/span>as possible triggers but make no mention of dairy products.<\/p>\n

The reality is, rather than dairy being bad for your skin, different dairy products provide a range of nutrients, such as zinc, iodine and vitamins A, and B2, which are needed for the maintenance of normal skin. For example, milk and yogurt contain vitamins B2 and iodine, and Cheddar is a source of vitamin A and zinc.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” vertically_center_columns=”true” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” bg_color=”#ffffff” scene_position=”center” text_color=”light” text_align=”right” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” id=”dairy-is-fattening” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”padding-3-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color=”#f2f2f2″ background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” centered_text=”true” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][milestone heading_inherit=”default” subject_padding=”0″ color=”Extra-Color-2″ effect=”motion_blur” milestone_alignment=”default” number=”7″ number_font_size=”158″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”left” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”25″][vc_column_text]\n

THE FACTS:<\/h3>\n

It\u2019s impossible to pick out individual foods, or group of foods, and suggest they make us put on weight!<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”30″][vc_column_text]Gaining weight occurs when we consistently take in more energy or calories than we use up through our daily activities and exercise. This excess energy is stored as fat. Everything we eat contains calories, so it\u2019s our total diet, rather than individual foods, that contributes to expanding waistlines. Claiming that dairy is fattening therefore misses the bigger picture, of their role in a healthy or balanced diet.<\/p>\n

In fact, according to a large UK survey<\/a><\/u><\/span>\u00a0that looks at the nation\u2019s food intake every few years, milk and cream account for, on average, just 4% of the calories in the diets of adults; cheese provides only 3% of calories; and yogurt, fromage frais and other dairy desserts such as ice cream, provide just 1% percent of calories.<\/p>\n

The truth is, dairy products contribute far fewer calories and much less fat, saturated fat and sugars to our diets than many of us think. Reference Intakes (RIs), which are often seen on food labels, show the maximum amount of calories and nutrients adults should have in a day and are set at around 2000kcal, 70g fat, 20g saturates and 90g sugars.<\/p>\n

Lower-fat dairy products can contribute fewer calories, less fat and fewer saturates than full-fat products, but even the full-fat versions don\u2019t usually make a huge contribution to calorie intakes. For example, a 200ml glass of skimmed milk contributes just 4% of the maximum amount of calories recommended for a day, but the same sized glass of whole milk still only provides 7% of calories!<\/p>\n

Finally, it\u2019s worth remembering that dairy products such as milk, cheese and yogurt are nutrient-rich foods \u2013 in other words, the calories they contain come packaged with a range of nutrients. For example, dairy products such as milk, Cheddar cheese and low-fat yogurt all contain protein, calcium, iodine, phosphorus and vitamins B2 and B12; and hard cheese also provides vitamin A.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” vertically_center_columns=”true” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” bg_color=”#ffffff” scene_position=”center” text_color=”light” text_align=”right” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” id=”milk-is-full-of-sugar” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”padding-3-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color=”#dd9933″ background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ font_color=”#ffffff” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” centered_text=”true” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][milestone heading_inherit=”default” subject_padding=”0″ color=”Default” effect=”motion_blur” milestone_alignment=”default” number=”8″ number_font_size=”158″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”left” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”25″][vc_column_text]\n

THE FACTS:<\/h3>\n

When it comes to the sugar in dairy products, milk \u2013 skimmed, 1% fat, semi-skimmed and whole \u2013 are all free from added sugars. All the sugars they contain occur naturally in the form of lactose. The same goes for plain, unsweetened yogurt.<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”30″][vc_column_text]Claims that milk is full of sugar also overlook the different nature of naturally occurring sugars, compared with added or free sugars. The NHS advises<\/span><\/a><\/u><\/span> that the sugar found naturally in milk, fruit and vegetables does not count towards your \u2018free sugar\u2019 count.<\/p>\n

Some flavoured yogurts or milk-based drinks can have sugar added to them. The amount can vary depending on the brand but sugars are always labelled on the nutrition panel so you can see just how much the product contains. Hard cheeses like Cheddar contain no sugars at all.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” vertically_center_columns=”true” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” bg_color=”#ffffff” scene_position=”center” text_color=”light” text_align=”right” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” id=”milk-is-bad-for-you” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”padding-3-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color=”#f2f2f2″ background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” centered_text=”true” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][milestone heading_inherit=”default” subject_padding=”0″ color=”Extra-Color-2″ effect=”motion_blur” milestone_alignment=”default” number=”9″ number_font_size=”158″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”left” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”25″][vc_column_text]\n

THE FACTS:<\/h3>\n

There are sometimes concerns raised in the media that milk is bad for you, or that dairy products can increase our risk of diseases such as cancer, Type 2 diabetes and heart disease.<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”30″][vc_column_text]But these are often based on the findings of just a single piece of research and whilst these findings may add to other research in this area, despite what the headlines say, individual studies rarely change health advice in the UK.<\/p>\n

The truth is, there are many risk factors for all these diseases, which can range from our genetic make-up, family history, age or whether we are male or female, to whether we smoke, drink alcohol, are overweight or are inactive.<\/p>\n

With so many factors involved, it can be difficult to pinpoint whole diets, individual foods or groups of foods,<\/a><\/u> <\/span>as risk factors for specific conditions.<\/p>\n

What we do know is that eating a balanced, healthy diet that includes plenty of fruit and veg, fibre-rich starchy foods, some dairy products and lean protein-rich foods, combined with limiting fatty, sugary and salty foods, taking regular exercise and achieving a healthy weight, can help keep us healthy and protect us from many diseases.<\/p>\n

Claims that milk is bad for you therefore need a closer look.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” vertically_center_columns=”true” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” bg_color=”#ffffff” scene_position=”center” text_color=”light” text_align=”right” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” id=”dairy-causes-cancer” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”padding-3-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color=”#dd9933″ background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ font_color=”#ffffff” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” centered_text=”true” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][milestone heading_inherit=”default” subject_padding=”0″ color=”Default” effect=”motion_blur” milestone_alignment=”default” number=”10″ number_font_size=”158″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”left” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”25″][vc_column_text]\n

THE FACTS:<\/h3>\n

The relationship between dairy and cancer is one area surrounded by myths and scare stories. Milk or dairy is often pinpointed as a cause of certain cancers such as those of the prostate and breast.<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”30″][vc_column_text]The World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) state that actually, there is limited evidence<\/a><\/u> <\/span>that higher intakes of dairy products might lead to an increased risk of prostate cancer. In contrast, there\u2019s far more evidence that being overweight increases the risk<\/a><\/u><\/span> of advanced prostate cancer.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, there\u2019s no indication that dairy products increase the risk of breast cancer. If anything, according to the WCRF, there\u2019s some evidence that consuming dairy products may actually lower the chances of developing pre-menopausal breast cancer, although it\u2019s an area that needs more research before any firm conclusions can be made.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, according to the WCRF, dairy products (as well as higher intakes of wholegrains and fibre-rich foods) can decrease the risk of colorectal or bowel cancer.<\/p>\n

In reality, one of the best things we can do to reduce our risk of cancer is to achieve and maintain a healthy weight. The WCRF confirms that being overweight is one of the main causes of 12 different cancers, including those of the bowel, breast (post-menopausal), gallbladder kidney, liver, mouth, pharynx and larynx, oesophagus, ovary, pancreas, prostate (advanced), stomach and womb.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re concerned about the relationship between dairy and cancer, rest assured that one of the best ways to reduce your risk is by eating a healthy and balanced diet, of which dairy products play a beneficial part.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” vertically_center_columns=”true” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” bg_color=”#ffffff” scene_position=”center” text_color=”light” text_align=”right” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” id=”milk-causes-diabetes” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”padding-3-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color=”#f2f2f2″ background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” centered_text=”true” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][milestone heading_inherit=”default” subject_padding=”0″ color=”Extra-Color-2″ effect=”motion_blur” milestone_alignment=”default” number=”11″ number_font_size=”158″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”left” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”25″][vc_column_text]\n

THE FACTS:<\/h3>\n

It\u2019s become commonplace to hear someone has an intolerance to lactose \u2013 the naturally occurring sugar in milk. But research confirms the incidence varies dramatically between countries.<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”30″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]When you look at the world as a whole, it\u2019s estimated that around two thirds of the population (68%) are lactose intolerant. However, across Northern, Western and Southern Europe, the incidence is much lower than this with 28% of people thought to have the condition. The figures for the UK are even lower than this: less than one in ten people \u2013 just 5%<\/u> <\/span><\/a>\u2013 are thought to suffer with lactose intolerance.<\/p>\n

Lactose intolerance is caused by low levels of lactase, the enzyme that\u2019s needed to digest lactose. This means undigested lactose passes into the large intestine where gut bacteria start to break it down, the side effects of which include symptoms such as bloating, wind, an uncomfortable tummy and diarrhoea. In some cases, the condition can be temporary \u2013 for example, it can occur after a bout of food poisoning or gastroenteritis, which damages the lining of the gut. Once the gut heals, lactase starts to be produced again so foods containing lactose can be eaten once more without symptoms.<\/p>\n

The good news is, even if you do suffer with lactose intolerance, you don\u2019t automatically need to give up dairy products. Many people with the condition find they can tolerate small amounts of lactose or certain dairy products, such as a small pot of yogurt or a piece of hard cheese, the latter of which contains virtually no lactose. Lactose-free milk and dairy products are also now widely available and contain all the nutrients of regular dairy products, except for the lactose.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text]It\u2019s important not to avoid dairy unless you have to, as milk and other dairy products are one of the main providers of calcium in our diets, a nutrient that\u2019s needed for the normal growth and development of bone in children up to the age of 18 years, and maintaining normal bones in adults. Milk and dairy foods provide around a third \u2013 34% \u2013 of the calcium in the diets of teenagers and adults up the age of 64 years.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, it\u2019s important not to confuse lactose intolerance with cow’s milk protein allergy. An allergy to a food such as milk involves the immune system (which an intolerance doesn\u2019t) and usually results in symptoms that come on rapidly such as nausea, vomiting, itchy hives, welts or skin rashes, swelling of the eyes and lips, a runny nose, sneezing, wheezing or, in extreme cases, anaphylaxis, potentially stopping breathing and requiring urgent medical attention.<\/p>\n

An allergy to cow\u2019s milk protein is more common in babies and young children than adults \u2013 it\u2019s estimated to affect around seven percent of babies under one year old, but most children grow out of it by the time they are five. If you are concerned you, your baby or your child suffers with an allergy to cow’s milk protein or lactose intolerance, it\u2019s vital you get medical advice<\/a><\/u><\/span> and see your GP for help. You should never try to manage the condition without medical advice, as milk is an important provider of nutrients in childhood.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][divider line_type=”No Line”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” vertically_center_columns=”true” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” bg_color=”#ffffff” scene_position=”center” text_color=”light” text_align=”right” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” id=”milk-causes-diabetes” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”padding-3-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color=”#f2f2f2″ background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_spacing=”default” centered_text=”true” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”padding-2-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”left” column_element_spacing=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”25″][vc_custom_heading text=”Infographic:
