Cow’s milk can provide protein, calcium, and vitamins B-12 and A, among other benefits. It can be a nutritious part of a varied diet.
Cow’s milk is a daily staple for many people and has been for millennia. While it’s still a popular food, recent studies suggest milk may have harmful effects on the body. Other research, however, points out the health benefits of dairy.
Milk is considered a whole food. It provides 18 out of 22 essential nutrients.
Milk also provides:
•iron
•selenium
•vitamin B-6
•vitamin E
Appetite control
Drinking milk hasn’t been linked to weight gain or obesity, and it may help curb appetite. An older study of 49 people showed that dairy helped people feel fuller and reduced how much fat they ate overall. Some studies have shown that full fat dairy intake is not associated with lower body weight. And some have shown that dairy intake, in general, may prevent weight gain.
Bone development
Milk may help improve weight and bone density in children, according to a 2015 study. It also reduces the risk of childhood fractures. Older research shows that pregnant women who ate a healthy diet that included plenty of dairy- and calcium-rich foods had children with better bone growth and mass, compared with women who followed less healthy diets. Milk also provides proteins that are necessary to build and maintain healthy bones, teeth, and muscle. A cup of milk provides around 7 to 8 grams of casein and whey proteins.
Bone and dental health
A cup of milk contains almost 30 percent of the daily requirement of calcium for adults. Milk also contains potassium and magnesium. These minerals are important for healthy bones and teeth. Most milk has added vitamin D. A cup of fortified milk contains about 21 percent of the recommended daily amount. Vitamin D is an important vitamin that plays many roles in the body, including promoting calcium absorption and bone mineralization.
Acne
A 2016 study found that teenagers with acne drank higher amounts of low fat or skim milk. Low fat dairy may also trigger adult acne. Other studies have linked acne to skim and low fat milk. This may be due to milk’s influence on certain hormones, including insulin and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1). More research is needed to explore the diet-acne connection.
Other skin conditions
Some foods may worsen eczema, including milk and dairy, according to a clinical review. However, a 2018 study found that pregnant and breastfeeding women who added a probiotic to their diet reduced their child’s risk for eczema and other food-related allergic reactions. Dairy may also be a trigger food for some adults with rosacea. On the other hand, a recent study suggests that dairy may actually have a positive effect on rosacea.
Allergies
Up to 7.5 percent of children have a milk allergy, estimate some experts. It can cause skin reactions, such as eczema, and gut symptoms, such as: •colic •constipation •diarrhea Other serious reactions include: •anaphylaxis •wheezing •difficulty breathing •bloody stool Children may grow out of a milk allergy. Adults can also develop a milk allergy.
