got milk?
And so i’ve read that MILK helps gain muscle and lose fat after after exercise. “Lose fat”. For a 110 pounder, that article is an eye catcher. But I also heard someone said before that milk are only suitable for babies due to a certain milk substance that could no longer be digested by adults. Poor thing is that i could no longer find the basis of it, and so I googled it up. So here’s what I found:
“Most humans lose the ability to fully digest milk after childhood (that is, they become lactose intolerant). The sugar lactose is found only in milk, forsythia flowers, and a few tropical shrubs. The enzyme needed to digest lactose, lactase, reaches its highest levels in the small intestines after birth and then begins a slow decline unless milk is consumed regularly.“
FYI:
Lactose Intolerance
Lactose is a type of carbohydrate or sugar that naturally occurs in milk from any mammal, including humans. Normally, an enzyme in the small intestine called lactase breaks down lactose so it can be absorbed into the bloodstream. Some people don’t produce enough lactase so undigested lactose is broken up by the bacteria in the large intestine causing gas, bloating, pain and diarrhoea. This condition is called ‘lactose intolerance’.
