Survey Summary

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 question, I asked "Have you ever met anyone who can't drink milk due to their physical reasons?" Most of them answered yes, but some people answered no. 

For the seventh question, "Do you think milk is good or bad for you? Why?", most people answered "yes" because it contains a lot of calcium. 

For the eighth question, I asked "Do you drink flavored milk?(Including other milk substances like soy milk)" Half of the people answered yes, and the other half answered no. 

For the ninth question, "Do you think cow's milk helps you grow taller?", about 2/3 answered "yes", and 1/3 answered "no".

For the last question, I asked "Do you know what a lactose intolerance is?" About 1/3 answered "yes", and 2/3 answered "no". I was surprised that a lot of people don't know what lactose intolerance is, even though it's a very common thing in asian countries, and most Japanese are actually lactose intolerant. 

I was able to find interesting facts about what people think about milk from this survey. I also thought that people need to have more knowledge about milk.

    At first, I was surprised that you highlighted the key points of your survey result! It is easy to understand the fact and I thought I should have do so..!!(lol) By the way, I found that the last question “Do you know what a lactose intolerance is?” is very interesting for me. Actually, I joined your survey and I answered this question “no.” It was because I simply sisn’t know the word. However, by reading this post, I was really surprised at the fact that most Japanese people are actually lactose intolerant. Since I drink milk every day, I’m curious about this so I wanna search it by myself! Thank you for giving me an interesting information!

(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.

Answering my 30 research questions #1

 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 ...
