"Milk - it does the body good." But unfortunately many people have lost the ability to properly digest and metabolize dairy products. Milk allergy is one of the most common food allergies known. So, Milk isn’t for everyone! You have no doubt seen advertisements suggesting you take Tums “for the calcium you need”. Tums is an antacid which contains calcium carbonate. Ironically, when the normal acid secreted in your stomach is neutralized, calcium is very poorly absorbed. The digestion and absorption of other nutrients is also impaired. Calcium carbonate is a very cheap form of calcium, but it is not well absorbed by many people.
Your right! I personally know 5 people off the top of my head that are lactose intolerant. Thanks Dr. Bob.
ReplyDeleteBobby,
ReplyDeleteIt is not uncommon. Like my post said Milk is one of the most allergenic foods out there. Thanks for visiting!
