There are still ongoing debates among milk lovers about which is better: fresh or processed.
Some say that raw milk cannot be compared at all with processed, pasteurized or sterilized milk.
In other words, they are speaking out against the drink sold in stores in favor of what they consider to be an environmentally friendly product.
However, experts say raw milk does carry certain health risks.
The fact is that its use is fraught with infection with diseases transmitted from animals.
At the same time, store-bought milk loses no more than 20% of its beneficial substances when pasteurized before being sold.
Experts note that the type of milk you drink, pasteurized or with an extended shelf life, does not significantly affect your health.
Sterilization does not significantly affect protein and calcium.
However, milk with the lowest fat content and reduced calorie content does play an important role in terms of health benefits.
According to experts, dairy products contain the optimal composition of fats for humans, including fatty acids.
The latter are necessary to maintain the health of the heart and blood vessels.
According to numerous studies by scientists, milk consumption reduces the risk of death from coronary heart disease, stroke and colon cancer.
However, there is no evidence yet that milk increases the development of any disease other than prostate cancer.
But it is worth remembering that at the same time milk is not recommended for people with lactose intolerance.
They are advised to pay attention to fermented milk products.
