Milk in old age can increase the risk of cancer: a doctor's opinion

0

According to a dietitian doctor, milk should be consumed only at a young age.

The doctor said in his blog that drinking milk in old age is dangerous due to the content of a rather large amount of hormones in it. The components of milk can accelerate metabolism, he noted. The doctor emphasized that increased metabolism in the elderly body leads to the fact that it “ages very quickly”.

The doctor explained that the presence of such substances in cow's milk is due to the fact that it is intended for calves, which, feeding on them, should grow quickly. In the body of an elderly person, these compounds can activate unwanted, dangerous processes, including increasing the risk of cancer.

As the expert said, “milk is full of insulin-like growth factor, estrogens that help to grow muscle mass, but, getting into the human body, which no longer needs growth, stimulates the growth of neoplasms.”

The doctor concluded that milk in old age is “not very useful” and recommended drinking milk only to young people.
