Drinking Milk

 1. Is milk really good for our body? Milk DOES do a body good. This is according to Madelyn Fernstorm from the article in NBC News.  Milk is good for especially development and maintenance of strong bones and teeth.  However, milk is health plus only if you can digest readily. This is the large part of the confusion.  Milk is a nutrient powerhouse. Some people get digestive upset from milk, but much of people can digest milk just fine. This upset is almost always from the lactose (milk sugar), which needs the enzyme "lactose" to be digested.  People who lack that enzyme or don't have enough of it experience lactose intolerance. It's quite rare to have a true milk allergy, where milk's protein (casein) cannot be digested.  Cow's milk is a healthy choice, if it works for you. If you don't drink milk (or consume dairy products) make sure your alternatives provide plenty of protein, calcium, and vitamin D.  Milk has a taste that's familiar and loved from ...

 I created a new NGO relating to the research I did this semester. First I will show you the results I got from my survey about drinking milk.  I found these two results interesting. One is "Have you ever met anyone who can't drink milk due to their physical reasons?"  About 40% of them had never met people who can't drink milk due to their physical reasons. I was surprised by this because experts estimate that about 68% of the world's population is lactose intolerant . Lactose intolerance is generally most common in asian countries , and in Japan , most of the people are lactose intolerant.  The other one asked if you know what lactose intolerance is, and more than half of the people answered that they don't know what lactose intolerance is.  So, due to the results of my survey, I wanted people to understand about lactose intolerance more , and have the right knowledge about drinking milk . The name I came up for this NGO is " MIN ", which means ...

I conducted a survey about "drinking milk" on monkey survey. Fortunately, 19 people answered this survey. I appreciate everyone who cooperated!  I will mention the results from now. First, most of the people who answered this survey were 18-24 years old .  For the second question, I asked "How often do you drink milk?" About 1/3 answered that they drink milk everyday . Some answered that they drink soy milk everyday. For the third question, "What kind of milk do you drink?", most people answered they drink whole milk . There were a few people who drink soy milk and low-fat milk. For the fourth question, "What time of day do you drink milk or other milk substances?", about half of the people answered that they drink milk in the morning .  For the fifth question, I asked "What is the occasion/reason for drinking milk or other milk substances?" Most people answered that they drink them when they feel like drinking it .  For the sixth qu...

 This word cloud was made from the article "Why We've Been Fighting About Milk for 10,000 Years." (from TIME) https://time.com/5244870/milk-history-mark-kurlansky/ You can see from this word cloud that besides the word "milk", the word "babies" and "cows" are being used  several times in this article. They talk about how it has always been widely believed that the best milk for human babies is human milk. However, somehow this has been debated.
