The Science of Milk

  • With a third of the world’s cattle and a population divided between a lactose-tolerant north and west and a largely lactose-intolerant south and east, milk-related misinformation is all over. Further, a rich tradition of dairy that goes back thousands of years was yanked into the modern world thanks to Dr Varghese Kurian’s White Revolution, which took a nutritious but highly perishable product in a country with huge amounts of poverty & malnutrition and managed to make safe milk near universally available to anyone, even those living in cities, even during the pre-home-fridge era. This is a jaw-dropping achievement that should get as much accolade as UPI or any other digital infrastructure that we are all proud of.
    But thanks to social media, the proud defenders of ancient tradition have managed to somehow turn this stellar achievement into a quagmire of pseudoscience and misinformation. In this video, I break down the basic science of milk, how it is produced and processed, and also debunk the most common myths about milk.

    You have covered some essential topics and dispelled milk myths propagated by some people on social media. The most important thing for us Indians is to understand that how we get our milk is drastically different from the West. There have been a lot of guilt-ridden youngsters who are misinformed about the supposed cruelty aspects of milk production. Yes, there are a few small dairies that have been using industrial methods of milk extraction, but if we buy from the co-operatives, there is a good chance that the cattle are in a farmer's home and actually taken good care of. Great job overall on this video!!

    It resonated with me on a personal level because, back when I was dealing with constant sickness and a consistently low appetite, heading to the hostel for my studies surprisingly turned things around. It turned out that milk was the culprit-I couldn't digest it properly. It never occurred to me that milk, often considered a health staple, could be the source of my issues. Being a strict vegetarian, my body simply didn't agree with milk. It's fascinating how our bodies can have such unique reactions to different foods, and discovering these nuances can make a world of difference in our well-being.

    Although not as bad as the West, dairy cows are grossly mistreated in India too. Practices like dehorning, branding, tying their mouths with ropes, etc., are simply essential for business. A simple rule of thumb when thinking about mistreatment of animals is whether we would accept it if a human was treated that way. Local farmers are way better than industrial farms but i wouldn't call their treatment of the cattle fair by any extent of the imagination. Our continued consumption of dairy products after coming face to face with the facts is only justifiable by speciesism

They will justify all their acts by saying that even eating plants is killing the plants. True but the state of life matters.

    I had a question, regarding the packaged milk sold in Europe and India. While making paneer or cheena, I found the product yielded different texture in different countries. In India the curdled proteins is firmer and less creamier than European counterpart. The paneer fat composition and protein length is completely different. I experimented with multiple brands of milk in India (from cow milk to toned and full cream) and European whole milk (multiple brand available locally, with fat range of 3.5-3.8%). Another key observation was the cheese in India does not stick to muslin cloth while it sticks here and it is harder to clean the muslin cloth. It would helpful if you could help me with the science and maybe give house remedies to make cheena like India.

    Excellent, I am happy Krish, put this great story and science of Milk. Most desi NRI's in USA blamed A1 milk for their gut problems. they also say only Indian cows make A2.
    Most tropical cows make A2 as you rightly say.
    EFSA commissioned a study and found that A1 or A2 have same properties and effect on human body. I will share with my friends. Thank you.

    Thank you for the info on A1 & A2 milk. I am an example of severe gut(gas & bloating) issues when I consume normal milk in the USA. Even yogurt, cheese, etc I have the same issues. But I have no problems if I consume A2 milk or A2 yogurt in the USA. Another interesting thing I noticed with my gut is I can consume any dairy in Europe and India. I go from size 34 to 36 pants within 30 minutes of consuming American normal dairy and I used to suffer for almost 2-3 days. However, taking probiotics supplements reduced the suffering to less than a day now. If I go to Trader Joe's and pick up frozen Pizza made in the USA, I suffer very badly. But, if I pick up frozen pizza Imported from Italy or France I have no issues. Fortunately, I got this problem only after I got into mid 40s. But now my daughter who is in her early 20s has the same problems.

    There are two forms of casein that are found in cow's milk -- they are called a1 and a2. I developed a sensitivity to A1, the primary protein in Holstein and some other modern breeds, in my 30s (half my life ago now). But when I was growing up, really, most of the milk in my community was from cows like Jerseys who mostly feed on grasses, and have lower per-cow quantities of more creamy (often 6%) milk. Surprise! Jerseys, unless they've had other breeds mixed, produce a2 milk.
    I can eat fermented forms of dairy (e.g. kefir, curd, some cheeses) because the process denatures the proteins somehow, I suppose.
    But fresh cheeses (paneer is hit or miss, possibly because of the origin of the milk?) have the same problems as drinking unfermented a1 milk, mostly.
    You don't need certified a2 milk if you know the milk is from cows that give a2 milk. For example, I can get "grassmilk" -- milk fed 100% on pasture. Well, most a1 breeds need grain to maintain their artificially high output. So Jersey milk or 100% grass-fed milk is ok for me.
    There are probably lots of people like me who thought they were lactose intolerant or had a basic casein allergy or something, that do not know that they can still drink the milk from our beloved cows.
    Buffalo, sheep, camel, goat, and human Milk is A2 only. So it is probably best to drink only a2 milks, since that is what we are "programmed" to digest from infancy.
    A1 milk was introduced from European wild cattle in order to "improve" output and feed conversion from grains, relatively recently. It is not a sort of milk we evolved to digest, over the thousands of years we've lived with dairy animals.

    This was a great video @Krishashok. Thanks for putting so much info about milk in one video.
    Minor comment about food sources which does not need killing a seed/animal: Unfertilized eggs also fall in the same category as milk and honey.
    And it would be great if you could shed some light on how cows/buffalos manage to give more milk than needed by their calves for extended periods. That sounds very unnatural.
    I understand that it can happen because humans trick them in believing that their calf is drinking the milk and animals start lactating more than needed by their calves. But naturally no animal should produce more milk than their babies need for extended periods

    Sir,
    Please explain
    1. why India is number one/second exporter of beef even though majority doesn't eat beef ?
    2. And why we don't see male calf's in any Dairy Heard , what happened to male calf's after they are sold.?

    • @krishashok
      @krishashok  Před 3 měsíci +1

      1. It is because we don't eat beef as much (except in the South & East) that we export the males. Why would farmers feed an animal for absolutely no economic benefit
      2. Male cattle are usually sold/exported as beef cattle, and typically, they are transported to South India for processing since the cultural sentiment in the North is against cattle slaughter.
      PS: I am making no moral or ethical judgments here. Just stating facts. It is OK to NOT eat beef if your culture insists on it and it is also OK to eat beef if your culture has no problem with it. Every person must be allowed to eat what they traditionally eat without religion coming in the way. This applies to beef, pork or anything else.

      Hi Ashok sir,
      Thank you so much for your reply. I really like the way you explain things, but In this video I have lot of question on the content.
      It took long time for me to understand your comment and reply.
      Yes I agree "It is OK to NOT eat beef or OK to eat beef whatever the person choose."
      When you are stating facts please also state the reality.
      Fact : "Honey and Milk are the only food that does not directly involve death"
      I agree this is the fact, but the Reality is quiet opposite.
      Milk directly involves in torture of female cows by force full pregnancy.
      Milk Indirectly involves in the death of weeks old male calf’s which end up as veal meat and cow ultimately ending up in slaughter house.
      Please also state these facts.
      Why India is number one exporter of beef is also a fact, and why male calf's are killed is also a fact, but you ignored to bring those fact and realities into video instead promoting hypothetical truth.
      After watching your video people get the sense that they are doing no harm by consuming dairy because you did not mention the reality, you mentioned the hypothetical truth.
      "Every person must be allowed to eat what they traditionally eat"
      I agree and In this democratic world people are allowed to eat what they choose which is legal.
      But because of human greed traditional methods are converting to cruel factory farms.
      On the name of tradition, you are promoting cruel factory farms.
      And even regular farmers are made part of big Dairy industry.
      Just because of tradition you can't ignore the moral and ethical aspects.
      Please also state moral and ethical facts of Dairy.
