  • Foods That Can't Be Eaten with Milk together
  • It is nearly known to all that milk is very nutritious. It contains a variety of nutrients such as calcium, magnesium, protein and so on, which are all beneficial to our health. As a result, people tend to drink a lot of milk. However, few of them know that there are some taboos when drinking milk. Some kinds of food can not be eaten with milk together. These foods are incompatible with milk. Following are some typical examples:

    First, milk and orange
    It is improper to eat orange one hour before or after you drinking milk. Because if the protein in milk meets with the acid in orange, it will cause solidification, which will affect the digestion and absorption of milk in human body. What's more, during this period, it is also not suitable to eat other acidic fruits.

    Second, milk and juice
    80% of the protein in milk is casein. When the PH of milk is lower than 4.6, a large number of casein will agglutinate and precipitate in human body, which is difficult for digestion and absorption. If it is severe, it may lead to indigestion or diarrhea. So, it is inappropriate to add juice and other acidic beverages in milk.

    Third, milk and sugar
    Milk contains lysine, which will react with fructose in the heated condition, to produce the toxic fructose-based lysine and cause harm to human body. So, do not add sugar in the boiled fresh milk. You should add the sugar in after the milk has been cooled.

    Fourth, milk and chocolate
    Milk is rich in protein and calcium, while chocolate contains oxalic acid. Eating these two foods together will lead to the formation of insoluble calcium oxalate, which will bring great impact on the absorption of calcium. In addition, it may even cause some phenomenon such as dry hair, diarrhea, slow growth and so on.

    Fifth, milk and medicine
    Some people like to drink milk instead of plain boiled water when they take medicine. In fact, milk may significantly affect the absorption of medicine in human body. As milk is easy to form a cover on the surface of the medicine, so that the calcium, magnesium and other mineral substances in milk will have chemical reaction with the medicine, and form water-insoluble materials, thus affecting the releasing and absorption of the efficacy. Therefore, do not drink milk one hour before or after you taking medicine.

    We have to keep the above taboos in our mind, and be careful when drinking milk next time, so as to avoid unnecessary adverse effects caused by improper eating habits.
