For all the dinner table, a glass of milk seems to be a constant, at least it was when I was growing up.
It was widely believed that milk was integral in building strong bones and teeth. There's no doubt that
dairy products (乳制品), and milk in particular, are high in protein and calcium, and most milk products
are supplemented with Vitamin D and A.
While it's well known that our bones need calcium, some studies suggest that high calcium intake
doesn't necessarily lower a person's risk for fractures (骨折). A Harvard study found that people who
drank two or more glasses of milk had no greater protection from breaking a bone than those who drank
a glass or less a week.
There's no doubt that we need calcium. Some anti-dairy supporters claim that dairy can lead to heart
disease. Much of this claim is based on high fat and high dairy products, like cheeses and creams, which
may indeed contribute to cardiovascular problems. Some studies have linked high milk intakes with a risk
of prostate cancer; this seems to be caused by high-fat dairy products, not dairy in general.
Although milk was always regarded as one of the most important thing we need for our bones, yet
least promoted, factors involved in strengthening bones. Perhaps we should think of dairy as less like a
nutrient and more like a food. If you like it, eat it. If not, find some others. Because some claims may not
be completely true, when I eat a cream, I'm not thinking about calcium, protein, or any such thing I'm
thinking delicious.
