We often hear about "dietary taboos" about milk, such as:
Milk can not be eaten with soy milk;
Milk cannot be eaten with sugar;
Milk cannot be eaten with fruit;
Milk cannot be eaten with chocolate, durian, etc.;
Milk should not be taken with medicine.
Only one of these claims is true, and guess which one?
1, milk can not be drunk with soy milk?
Rumor: Milk and soy milk can not be drunk together, because soy milk contains because soy milk contains "trypsin inhibitors", which will destroy the protein in the milk and reduce the nutritional value of milk.
This is nonsense.
The trypsin inhibitor in soybeans does hinder the absorption of protein in milk, but this factor has a weakness - it is very afraid of heat, so cooking soy milk is no problem.
Whether it is cooked by the soy milk machine or freshly ground soy milk bought, as long as the soy milk has been cooked thoroughly, it will not be a problem to drink with milk.
2. Can't milk be eaten with sugar?
Rumor: Milk can not be eaten with sugar, because the lysine contained in milk can react with fructose under heating conditions, generating toxic fructosyl lysine, which is harmful to the human body.
Nothing.
The reaction mentioned here is the [Maillard reaction], that is, the protein and sugar are heated together to produce a brown substance, which is also particularly fragrant.
This is how the attractive reddish-brown color on roast duck and toasted bread comes in.
However, this reaction needs to meet two conditions, high temperature and prolonged heating. We usually boil milk for only a few minutes and do not produce any highly toxic substances.
So, it's okay to eat milk and sugar together. However, for the sake of health, you should still eat less sugar and try to choose original milk.
3. Can't milk be eaten with fruit?
Rumor: Any fruit is best not to eat with milk, they will have a certain reaction between them, which is not conducive to digestion and will also cause nutrient loss.
The reaction mentioned here refers to the protein in milk encountering organic acids in fruits, etc., coagulation and degeneration, resulting in precipitation.
However, even if you don't eat it with fruit, milk will have precipitates when it encounters stomach acid.
If that's the case, those who like to drink banana shakes, mango shakes, strawberry shakes... What can people do?
As long as the gastrointestinal tract is healthy, it is not uncomfortable to drink milk, and milk and fruit can be eaten together.
4. Can't milk be eaten with durian and chocolate?
Of course.
The person who asked this question, you must not have eaten durian banji, chocolate milkshake, durian cake...
The ingredients in milk and durian do not react at all, and it is not possible to talk about eating together on the Internet, which can cause blood pressure to soar and sudden death from heart disease.
As for milk and chocolate, some people say that chocolate containing oxalic acid will affect calcium absorption and will also generate kidney stones, the fact is that oxalic acid and calcium can not be absorbed after combination, where there is still a chance to generate kidney stones, as for the impact of calcium absorption, drink more than two mouthfuls of milk.
5. Can't milk be eaten with medicine?
Rumor: Milk can not replace boiled water to take medicine, because milk will significantly affect the body's absorption of drugs.
Milk cannot be taken with medicine, which makes sense.
Milk can not be eaten with medicine, which requires special attention for patients with chronic diseases, middle-aged and elderly people. Mildly affects the release of drug efficacy, and in severe cases, it can also increase drug toxicity.
For example, drugs such as ofloxacin, ciprofloxacin, and tetracycline, if eaten with milk, will bind to the calcium ions in milk and affect drug absorption.
According to the available literature, the following drugs should not be taken with milk:
Antidiarrheal drugs, which are "wrapped" in milk and fail;
Cardiotidides: If these drugs are taken with milk, the calcium ions in milk will increase the toxicity of such drugs;
Antibiotics of the class tetracycline, chelating with calcium in milk in the intestine, reducing the absorption of the drug;
Iron and zinc supplements, calcium and iron in milk are absorbed in the duodenum competition, reducing drug absorption.
It is recommended that you carefully read the instructions before taking the medicine, if it is not clear whether it will react with milk, then ask the doctor or pharmacist.
However, for the sake of safety, take the medicine with warm water.
All in all, in addition to taking medicine, generally drink milk do not pay attention to so much, maintain a good mood, maintain a diverse and balanced diet is the most important.
