The Science of Milk
With a third of the world’s cattle and a population divided between a lactose-tolerant north and west and a largely lactose-intolerant south and east, milk-related misinformation is all over. Further, a rich tradition of dairy that goes back thousands of years was yanked into the modern world thanks to Dr Varghese Kurian’s White Revolution, which took a nutritious but highly perishable product in a country with huge amounts of poverty & malnutrition and managed to make safe milk near universally available to anyone, even those living in cities, even during the pre-home-fridge era. This is a jaw-dropping achievement that should get as much accolade as UPI or any other digital infrastructure that we are all proud of.
But thanks to social media, the proud defenders of ancient tradition have managed to somehow turn this stellar achievement into a quagmire of pseudoscience and misinformation. In this video, I break down the basic science of milk, how it is produced and processed, and also debunk the most common myths about milk.

Really a master class in Milk science. I am consumer of skimmed milk and I used to buy tetra pack milk. But recently I started buying Skimmed milk powder and I am making my own milk at what ever time possible with out any worry. 😊 Also, may be in the next video, can you cover milk related products like paneer, cheese, whey, casin Cream, butter, ghee etc which have become ware more important in our life just like milk and there are so many myths around them.

1. It is because we don't eat beef as much (except in the South & East) that we export the males. Why would farmers feed an animal for absolutely no economic benefit 2. Male cattle are usually sold/exported as beef cattle, and typically, they are transported to South India for processing since the cultural sentiment in the North is against cattle slaughter. PS: I am making no moral or ethical judgments here. Just stating facts. It is OK to NOT eat beef if your culture insists on it and it is also OK to eat beef if your culture has no problem with it. Every person must be allowed to eat what they traditionally eat without religion coming in the way. This applies to beef, pork or anything else.

It took long time for me to understand your comment and reply. Yes I agree "It is OK to NOT eat beef or OK to eat beef whatever the person choose." When you are stating facts please also state the reality. Fact : "Honey and Milk are the only food that does not directly involve death" I agree this is the fact, but the Reality is quiet opposite. Milk directly involves in torture of female cows by force full pregnancy. Milk Indirectly involves in the death of weeks old male calf’s which end up as veal meat and cow ultimately ending up in slaughter house. Please also state these facts. Why India is number one exporter of beef is also a fact, and why male calf's are killed is also a fact, but you ignored to bring those fact and realities into video instead promoting hypothetical truth. After watching your video people get the sense that they are doing no harm by consuming dairy because you did not mention the reality, you mentioned the hypothetical truth. "Every person must be allowed to eat what they traditionally eat" I agree and In this democratic world people are allowed to eat what they choose which is legal. But because of human greed traditional methods are converting to cruel factory farms. On the name of tradition, you are promoting cruel factory farms. And even regular farmers are made part of big Dairy industry. Just because of tradition you can't ignore the moral and ethical aspects. Please also state moral and ethical facts of Dairy.
Thanks for the educational videos. Can you answer this, pls? 1. I’ve tried drinking the store bought ( which is pasteurized, organic, and grass fed cows in the US). That would just run thru my system within 5 mins after having it. That was true when I tried both A1 and A2 milk. That made me think my system has developed some kind of intolerance. Then I tired raw milk, and started consuming it after boiling it, the same way I’d use the milk from supermarket. This wasn’t a problem for me at all. Can you explain that?

It resonated with me on a personal level because, back when I was dealing with constant sickness and a consistently low appetite, heading to the hostel for my studies surprisingly turned things around. It turned out that milk was the culprit-I couldn't digest it properly. It never occurred to me that milk, often considered a health staple, could be the source of my issues. Being a strict vegetarian, my body simply didn't agree with milk. It's fascinating how our bodies can have such unique reactions to different foods, and discovering these nuances can make a world of difference in our well-being.

You have covered some essential topics and dispelled milk myths propagated by some people on social media. The most important thing for us Indians is to understand that how we get our milk is drastically different from the West. There have been a lot of guilt-ridden youngsters who are misinformed about the supposed cruelty aspects of milk production. Yes, there are a few small dairies that have been using industrial methods of milk extraction, but if we buy from the co-operatives, there is a good chance that the cattle are in a farmer's home and actually taken good care of. Great job overall on this video!!

Although not as bad as the West, dairy cows are grossly mistreated in India too. Practices like dehorning, branding, tying their mouths with ropes, etc., are simply essential for business. A simple rule of thumb when thinking about mistreatment of animals is whether we would accept it if a human was treated that way. Local farmers are way better than industrial farms but i wouldn't call their treatment of the cattle fair by any extent of the imagination. Our continued consumption of dairy products after coming face to face with the facts is only justifiable by speciesism

I had a question, regarding the packaged milk sold in Europe and India. While making paneer or cheena, I found the product yielded different texture in different countries. In India the curdled proteins is firmer and less creamier than European counterpart. The paneer fat composition and protein length is completely different. I experimented with multiple brands of milk in India (from cow milk to toned and full cream) and European whole milk (multiple brand available locally, with fat range of 3.5-3.8%). Another key observation was the cheese in India does not stick to muslin cloth while it sticks here and it is harder to clean the muslin cloth. It would helpful if you could help me with the science and maybe give house remedies to make cheena like India.

Great! If you love the flavour and can afford it, good!
There are two forms of casein that are found in cow's milk -- they are called a1 and a2. I developed a sensitivity to A1, the primary protein in Holstein and some other modern breeds, in my 30s (half my life ago now). But when I was growing up, really, most of the milk in my community was from cows like Jerseys who mostly feed on grasses, and have lower per-cow quantities of more creamy (often 6%) milk. Surprise! Jerseys, unless they've had other breeds mixed, produce a2 milk. I can eat fermented forms of dairy (e.g. kefir, curd, some cheeses) because the process denatures the proteins somehow, I suppose. But fresh cheeses (paneer is hit or miss, possibly because of the origin of the milk?) have the same problems as drinking unfermented a1 milk, mostly. You don't need certified a2 milk if you know the milk is from cows that give a2 milk. For example, I can get "grassmilk" -- milk fed 100% on pasture. Well, most a1 breeds need grain to maintain their artificially high output. So Jersey milk or 100% grass-fed milk is ok for me. There are probably lots of people like me who thought they were lactose intolerant or had a basic casein allergy or something, that do not know that they can still drink the milk from our beloved cows. Buffalo, sheep, camel, goat, and human Milk is A2 only. So it is probably best to drink only a2 milks, since that is what we are "programmed" to digest from infancy. A1 milk was introduced from European wild cattle in order to "improve" output and feed conversion from grains, relatively recently. It is not a sort of milk we evolved to digest, over the thousands of years we've lived with dairy animals.
Krishashok, your thoughts on this: Most naturopaths suggest that adults stop producing the enzymes needed to break down milk for digestion. So, milk starts rotting in the gut and leads to bloating. The consumption of sugar with the milk/tea/coffee expedites the rotting. I have myself experienced the bloating stop once I stopped consuming milk.

None of those reasons are true. Most adults, depending. on genetics do lose the ability to produce lactase over time, yes. And that alone will cause bloating. Nothing else

My daughter had a lot of allergies including Milk and egg and understood this is due to the particular protien present. There is a huge misconception between lactose intolerance and allergy to milk and dairy. many times when we tell our friend for safety reasons the response is “ohh she is lactose intolerant”. We do really hope she grows out of her allergies and enjoy the tasty products prepared from dairy products

Thank you!
(134) Excellent dissertation, Mr. Krish!!! I tend to ignore "food bores" that slag off dairy products. OK, some people get digestives issues from them, so I get why the "alternative milks" would be a godsend for them. But just don't try to sell me a pup that my dairy consumption is turning me into a monster of some sort.

If a child consumes cow or buffalo milk vs a child who doesnt, is there any vast nutritional deficiencies of not consuming milk or benefits of not consuming milk?
@krishashok
Ай бұрын
It depends on overall diet. But studies regularly show that milk consumption is overall beneficial for kids upto the age of 18. Evidence after that is mixed meaning you might not necessary need milk beyond 18 years.
Is Ultra Pasteurized the same as UHT?
Is store bought ghee from popular brands healthy to use? There is lot of information on internet and social media that the stor bought ghee has got wax added to it to get the grainy texture. Kindly throw some light on it.

Yes. Safe
I only know that when I have Cow's milk or curd or Ghee, the taste just satisfies my soul like no other food does - that's my scientific test

It isnt about the growth hormone that people generally worry about, it's about the estrogen injections given to cattle to produce milk even when they don't have calves, it's this excess estrogen that does have an impact on puberty...

Very useful and informative video…thanks for bursting those myths like early puberty etc…Though am a doctor but it’s a fact that nutrition awareness among doctors is very low than the diseases we know… Thanks again for putting up this.. Would definitely recommend to my patients with facts and figures…Dr. Shruthi, Head and neck oncosurgeon..

THose milks still have other sugars!
Only problem with milk is that its highly acidic and this making it far more difficult to breakdown as a person grows older, best way to eat would be yoghurt and ghee. Coming from a biochemist😊
Sir, I have eczema in both of my feet.. my age is 42 years, height 6 foot. Weight 80 kg. Please suggest me what to eat and what to avoid. I am completely non-vegetarian and from the eastern part of India.. My father also suffers with eczema.. Waiting for your reply. 🙏
I started watching your videos from last 4 months and was really helpful to understand food and especially myths surrounding food in our social media era. Me and my wife always worry about yhe myth of early puberty of girl child due to harmones injected in to milk. I have one more question on this, i see many saying harmones injected to animals to produce more milk causing this early pubery. Is this myth or true?

Excellent, I am happy Krish, put this great story and science of Milk. Most desi NRI's in USA blamed A1 milk for their gut problems. they also say only Indian cows make A2. Most tropical cows make A2 as you rightly say. EFSA commissioned a study and found that A1 or A2 have same properties and effect on human body. I will share with my friends. Thank you.

0:37 bee larve are crushed while extracting honey from the comb. Milking cow involves slight of cruelty, milk is produced by cow exclusively for her baby calf only little is fed to the and abruptly calf is pulled away and milking is done.
Your views and detailed logical, scientific analysis are par excellence. It's always fascinating to see your content. Do you also provide nutrition advise? Our 27 year old son has been struggling with kidney stones since 5 years now and needs some genuine help.
Can you meet Mr Pal, Gastro doctor in USA, a Tamilian and make a collaboration video, discussion of relevant matter about food, it will be very interesting and useful. Because what you tell is based upon your studies and his is based on the studies about food and gut and his education and job. His KZread videos are also very viral
