"Milk is rich in nutrients, high in calcium," and "drinking milk can strengthen bones." In people's mindsets, milk and calcium supplements are inseparable. However, a recent petition issued by the American Medical Association for Physicians and Responsibles, which proposed to the United States Department of Agriculture to remove milk from the “School Lunch Program”, put a big question mark on the formula “Milk = Calcium”.

American doctor asks to cancel children's lunch milk

The petition issued by the American Medical Association for Medical Responsibility stated that “a slogan about milk helps children with strong bones is actually an invalid placebo.” They suggested that “it is time for a child’s school lunch plan”. Remove milk from this food."

It is understood that the "National School Lunch Program" is a federally funded program that began offering lunch to children of hundreds of millions of public schools throughout the United States in 1946. Milk is one of the must-eat foods. In the petition published on the website by the American Physician Medical Responsibility Association, the first point raised is that drinking milk does not help the health of the bones of children and the elderly.

Their basis is mainly two research results, one is published in the United States "Children and Adolescent Medicine Archive" magazine's latest research. This study tracked 6712 girls over a seven-year period, documented their diet, and assessed their stress fracture potential. The other is the Harvard Medical School's "Nurse Health Study" which lasted 18 years and focuses on 72,000 postmenopausal women. As a result, people who drink milk for a long period of time are found to have a fracture risk that is comparable to those who do not drink milk. Drinking milk does not prevent osteoporosis.

It is reported that at present, the U.S. Department of Agriculture says that it has received a petition from the Medical Responsibility Association of Doctors and is evaluating and discussing the content of the petition.

The theory of harmful milk is not new

In fact, the debate about the role of milk is not new. The "dangerous theory of milk" has a long history. It first appeared in the 1950s and 1960s. At that time, the United Nations organized 100 experts to conduct argumentation studies on a global scale and finally proved that the argument was not established.

However, the controversy over milk is still rekindled every few years. For example, in 2005, the Japanese surgeon Shingu Hiromi published a book entitled "The Way of Life Without Sickness" that counteracted milk, pointing out that milk containing a large amount of lipid peroxide can cause intestinal lesions. The book's sales reached 1 million. However, the Japanese Dairy Dairy Association criticized it.

In 2008, a bestseller titled "Milk, Lies and Propaganda" was published in France. The book revealed that French dairy companies provided a large portion of funding for the French Nutrition Institute, and also pointed out that drinking milk in excess would induce ovarian cancer and prostate cancer. However, academician Leon Geigon of the French Academy of Agricultural Sciences has repeatedly written or interviewed to refute.

Wang Dingmian, known by the industry as the "Wang Cannon," had invited nutrition experts or personal articles to debate with Lin Guangchang's "Theory of Milk Harmfulness," until Lin was convicted of "Taipei District Court" in August 2008 for fraud charges. Sentenced to two years and six months.

Most consumers believe that milk is beneficial

The reporter selected 20 old, young and young consumers of three different ages for interviews on the role of milk. As a result, the vast majority of respondents clearly expressed their belief that milk is nutritious and beneficial.

Ms. Wang, who lives in the Yuexiu District, said: “Westerners are generally more physique, and they have a lot to do with drinking lots of milk every day. I still think that dairy products are good things. I can't believe harmful methods. Everyone drinks for so many years.” , I didn't see who had any side effects."

Mr. Liu told reporters that he had been concerned about the topic of “drinking milk with excessive calcium”. After reading a lot of information, he tended to think that the digestion and absorption of the human body would reduce the nutrition of milk, so it was not that milk was rich in calcium. Will be excessive calcium.

The 20 consumers interviewed had a habit of drinking milk daily and said that they would continue to adhere to it in the future.
