Everyone can take their seats according to their own preferences and avoid factors that are harmful to our health. Drinking milk as water carries a risk of causing illness. Drinking too little milk cannot be effective, and drinking too much also has adverse consequences. Milk generally has a protein content of 3% -4%, fat content of 3% -5%, sugar content of about 5%, and calcium content of about 1%. Drinking milk as water means a high-fat, high-energy diet. Drinking 4 bottles of milk (250 grams per bottle) can consume 30-50 grams of fat! Moreover, half of the fat contained in milk is saturated fatty acids. Currently, most people have already consumed a considerable amount of saturated fatty acids from meat. Excessive intake of saturated fatty acids in a diet can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Some children are afraid of the bitter taste of the medicine and will take it with milk. It is best to use water when taking medication, and it is not recommended to use milk, otherwise it not only reduces the efficacy but may also cause harm to the body.

Lactose intolerant individuals are more prone to diarrhea when drinking milk on an empty stomach. The lactose in milk needs to be broken down by lactase. If the activity of lactase in the body is insufficient and lactose breakdown is incomplete, it will be metabolized and fermented by bacteria such as E. coli after entering the large intestine, which will produce acid and gas, and even cause discomfort such as abdominal pain and diarrhea. More than two-thirds of adults in our country lack lactase in their bodies. Drinking milk on an empty stomach or drinking a large amount of milk at once is relatively more likely to cause bloating and diarrhea. After drinking milk on an empty stomach, the passage time of milk in the gastrointestinal tract increases, leading to a slight decrease in absorption efficiency.
