For decades we’ve been told that “milk does a body good” and that drinking it daily would guarantee strong bones. But what if much of what we believed about milk came from marketing — not science? In this video, I uncover the truth about milk, its effects on your bones, digestion, hormones, and overall health.
🦴 Bones and Calcium: Yes, milk has calcium, but large studies show that drinking more milk does not always reduce fractures. In fact, some research suggests the opposite. Animal proteins in milk may increase acid load, pulling calcium out of the bones instead of depositing more.
🥛 Digestion Issues: Around 65% of the world’s population is lactose intolerant. This means most adults lack the enzyme needed to digest milk sugar, leading to gas, bloating, cramps, and diarrhea. Milk proteins like casein can also trigger inflammation, allergies, and even worsen skin conditions or respiratory issues.
⚖️ Hormonal Effects: Milk naturally contains hormones and raises IGF-1 (insulin-like growth factor). While important for growth in children, in adults high IGF-1 has been linked to increased risks of certain cancers.
🔥 Inflammation and Immunity: For sensitive individuals, dairy can act as a pro-inflammatory food. Chronic low-grade inflammation is linked to heart disease, diabetes, and neurodegeneration. Many people report clearer skin, less joint pain, and more energy when they cut back on milk.
🥗 Better Alternatives: Fermented dairy like yogurt and kefir may be tolerated better and can even support gut health. For non-dairy options, unsweetened almond, coconut, oat, hemp, or soy milk can provide calcium and nutrients without the drawbacks. Don’t forget — leafy greens, seeds, nuts, and sunlight are powerful natural bone builders.
👉 Challenge for You: If you drink milk daily, try cutting it out for just one week. Replace it with water or a non-dairy alternative. Pay close attention to your digestion, skin, and energy. Your body may teach you more than any advertisement ever could.
