Milk is considered one of the most useful products in the diet.
But scientists from the United States presented their findings on why adults, it is contraindicated. The researchers said: lactose intolerance in adults is not a myth.
American clinicians stated that only 30 percent of the adult population can digest milk, while most suffer from its intolerance, often without knowing it. On the results of their study refers to the edition of USA Today.
“At least 55% of the adult population have difficulty digesting milk. The remaining 45% are unable to say that the problems in this area they have no” – is it the opinion of the authors of the project.
Scientists estimate that to properly digest milk and dairy products can only 5% Asians and 25% of Africans. Everyone else on this “feat” is not able, said the researchers.
Note that science is not the first year engaged in the study of whether the organism of adult humans to properly digest milk. In recent times prevailed the theory that the lactose intolerance dairy is not the norm, but quite rare, and the diet aspect of milk and is a very valuable product.
But the authors of the new work say that the ability to digest milk most people lose at an early age – from two to five years. Therefore, the use of milk by adults is accompanied by such unpleasant symptoms as diarrhea, bloating, flatulence and other problems in the digestive tract.
“In childhood the milk is crucial for proper development. But as they grow older the value of milk is reduced. For proper digestion of milk requires enzymes, which in adults has no or only a limited number of them,” explained the doctors.
