Dairy products are rich in nutrients. According to the core information of "reducing oil, increasing beans, and adding milk" released by the Office of the National Nutrition and Health Guidance Committee in April this year, sufficient intake of milk and dairy products is beneficial to human health, especially for muscle and bone health. It is recommended to consume 300-500 milliliters of liquid milk or equivalent amounts of dairy products per day, and increase targeted science popularization and publicity. However, survey data shows that the current intake of milk and dairy products by most residents in China is far below the recommended amount. Apart from some people who are not used to the taste of dairy products, there are also some who are afraid or unwilling to drink milk due to rumors on the internet. The reporter recently interviewed Chen Junshi, an academician of the CAE Member and a researcher of the National Food Safety Risk Assessment Center, and asked him to "correct scientifically" some rumors. Chinese people are not suitable for drinking milk? Reasonable intake can alleviate lactose intolerance. According to reports, about 65% of the global population has varying degrees of lactose intolerance, manifested as bloating, bowel sounds, diarrhea, etc. after drinking milk. East Asia is a high-risk area for lactose intolerance. But lactose intolerance does not mean that one cannot drink milk. Reasonable intake of dairy products can alleviate or even avoid lactose intolerance Chen Junshi gave an example, for example, drinking milk in small amounts multiple times can gradually improve intestinal adaptability; Milk can be paired with other foods to buffer intestinal reactions; You can choose fermented products such as yogurt and cheese; You can also choose milk treated with lactase. Do cows rely on hormones for milk production? Scientific feeding can provide sufficient raw milk. According to reports, most countries and regions, including China, currently prohibit the use of bovine growth hormone. According to relevant regulations in our country, the addition of growth hormone is not allowed in animal feed. Through scientific feeding and management, cows can provide sufficient raw milk without the need for hormones Chen Junshi stated that the milk production cycle of cows is around 280 to 300 days, which can be achieved through scientific cycle management. Is skim milk healthier? Mainly targeting the population with high blood lipids, Chen Junshi introduced that whole milk provides not only fat but also high-quality protein and calcium. In addition, whole milk can provide a better sense of satiety, and the aroma and rich taste brought by milk fat are not present in skim milk. For people with high blood lipids, skim or low-fat milk may be a better choice. Others can choose according to their preferences Chen Junshi said that attention should be paid to the total amount of dietary fat intake. Instead of controlling breast fat, it is better to reduce cooking oil. Can't milk be paired with orange juice? According to personal preferences, orange juice contains a large amount of acidic substances that can cause protein in milk to clump and precipitate, which is a normal phenomenon. Milk also undergoes precipitation under the action of stomach acid, which is a normal digestive process and does not affect nutrient absorption. Chen Junshi stated that milk, orange juice, and most other foods can be paired according to personal preferences, and there is no such thing as "food competition". Room temperature milk with preservatives? The shelf life of milk is related to the processing technology. Chen Junshi stated that the shelf life of milk is related to the processing technology, and regular temperature milk does not require preservatives. It is reported that the processing technology of room temperature milk is through instantaneous high-temperature sterilization treatment and sterile packaging technology, which keeps the final product in a sterile state and isolates the entry of external microorganisms. It can be stored for several months or even longer without preservatives. Both room temperature milk and pasteurized milk are excellent sources of nutrition, suitable for different storage methods and consumption scenarios Chen Junshi said. (New Society)
