Pranam : It is not what is consumed good or bad ; Food consumption is
calorie connected wrt the age and hard labour. When the excess calorie is
eaten, they form fat cells where the protein converted as fat is stored
making one flabby and health problem. People in North take lot of Milk and
products but work hard to digest all and maintain the constitution. The
system the pros and cons is discussed below:
1 Hindus used milk and other dairy products without any hesitation.
Vedic Hindus used madhuparka, a mixture of curd and honey. This was offered
to honoured guests and distinguished visitors “rtviks, Acharya, bridegroom,
king and someone who is dear to one. The references are available in
Manava, (1-9-1),Baudayana (1-2-65) and Asvalayana (1-24-5) Grhya sutras.
Milk (ksira), also called go or payas played a large part in the economy of
the Vedic Hindus RV 1-109-3, 1-167-7, 8-2-9, 9-67-32; AV 2-26-4, 5-19-5,
8-3-15, 10-9-12). Later literature has got more references.
Milk was cooked with grain. They drank it fresh or in the form of curd or
butter. Boiled milk and cream of boiled milk were in common use. They ate
milk and rice (ksira odanam). Goat’s milk was also used (TB 4-1-6-1; SB
14-1-2-13) There were people who lived on milk alone (payavrata SB
9-5-1-1; KB 8-9). Ascetics in India survived just by drinking milk and
eating fruits. They used pieces of Putika creeper, bark of palasa tree or
kuvala (jujube) to make yoghurt.
Lord Krishna who lived 5100 years ago according to Hindus tradition is
linked with the cows and all dairy products. He is known as Buttter Krishna
(Navaneetha Krishna). Several Upanishad stories are woven around raising
cows or increasing two cows into 1000 cows (Satyakama Jabala in Chandogya
Upanishad and 1000 cows for Yajnavalkya in Brihadaranyaka Upanishad). All
these 1000 cow stories as early as 900 BCE show the wealth of the Vedic
Hindus. The process of churning with a churning stick was known from Rig
Vedic times (1-28-4, BU 6-3-13).
Two varieties of cheese – one with pores and the other without pores were
mentioned in the RV6-48-18 A preparation of curds with boiled milk was
very popular. Solid part of the preparation was called amiiksa, while the
liquid part was called vajina (lot of references in Taitriya Samhitai,
Manava, Grihya Sutras, Atarva Vedam 10-9-13, Satapata Brahamana, Taitriya
Aranyaka , Chandogya Upanishad , Jabala Upanishad. (courtesy texts and
blogs)
2 Who has to avoid the milk products:
Medical study has found that people who consume the most cow’s milk
have significantly higher fracture rates
<https://www.peta.org/issues/animals-used-for-food/animals-used-food-factsheets/cows-milk-cruel-unhealthy-product/>
than
those who drink little to no milk. And if you are eating large amounts of
cheese? Throw in a heaping helping of saturated fat, sodium, and
cholesterol on top of that.
Milk and cheese have been linked to an increased risk of developing
prostate cancer
<https://www.goldjournal.net/article/S0090-4295(00)00974-2/abstract>. But
dairy-free diets? They’ve been shown to slow its progress.
The lactose in cow’s milk can be difficult for people to digest, resulting
in nausea, cramps, gas, bloating, and diarrhea.
Increased prevalence and severity of acne in both boys and girls.
A single serving of milk can contain as much as 24 mg of heart-harming
cholesterol.
More servings of dairy “products” each day were *twice* as likely to develop
serous ovarian cancer.
lactose intolerance, milk allergies can cause potentially strong and
dangerous reactions (usually in young children), such as vomiting or
anaphylaxis.
Cows are often pumped full of antibiotics to keep them alive the surge
in antibiotic-resistant bacteria
<https://www.cancer.org/cancer/cancer-causes/recombinant-bovine-growth-hormone.html>
, infect the human.
A single serving of whole milk
<http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/dairy-and-egg-products/69/2> can
contain more than 20 percent of the recommended daily allowance of
saturated fat.
Weight gain: skim and 1 percent milk actually appeared to lead to more
weight gain than drinking 2 percent or whole milk.
In short calorie must be spent by hard work and if not Milk product is
troublesome.
