Is MILK Cholesterol good for us???????

In today's era, we people are well aware about the ill effects of cholesterol through the various advertisements on different sources of communication weather it is T.V. or Newspaper.
CHOLESTEROLLLL!!!!!!!!!
BUT THERE ARE ITS TOO MANY BENEFITS LIKE :
  • It helps in digesting fat.
  • Enhances thinking power of infants.
  • It helps in production of vitamin D.
  • Important for the production of hormones such as testosterone and estrogen.
Now the question is that -
If there are so many benefits of cholesterol then why are we misguided?
The answer is that, there are 2 types of Cholesterol,
  1. The first one is LDL( low-density lipoprotein), or “bad” cholesterol, because it contributes to fatty buildups in arteries . This condition narrows the arteries and increases the risk for heart attack, stroke and peripheral artery disease, or PAD.
  2. Here comes the second , which is HDL( high-density lipoprotein), or “good” cholesterol, absorbs cholesterol and carries it back to the liver. The liver then flushes it from the body.
High levels of HDL cholesterol can lower your risk for heart disease and stroke.
When it comes to MILK,
Studies have shown that people who drink whole milk( full cream ) appear to have lower rates of heart disease than people who drink low-fat or skim milk.
  • The definition states that Cholesterol is a compound of the sterol type, found in most body tissues. Cholesterol and its derivatives are important constituents of cell membranes and precursors of other steroid compounds
  • Amount of cholesterol increases with increase in iodine number (term used for degree of unsaturation ).
  • In case of buffalo milk the iodine no. is around 32 to 33, while it is around 35 to 37 in case of cow milk.
This is one of the reasons - Why Cow milk or ghee is preferred over Buffalo's one?

Milk from crops???? What is Crop milk?

Will there be no need of Cow in future??????? A known fact is that -  Crop milk contains more fat and protein content as compared to human or cow milk. But  What is this Crop milk? Is it true that crops produce milk? Crop milk  is a secretion from the lining of the  crop  ( thin-walled expanded portion of the alimentary tract   )of parent birds that is  regurgitated (bring up to the mouth)  to young birds. It is found among all  pigeons and doves   where it is referred to as  pigeon milk . Why to know about this:- The crop milk is produced by pigeons about 3 days before parturirtion. And it is essential for the faster growth of young ones. An analog to crop milk is also secreted from the esophagus of  flamingos  and some pe nguins. Who will give me Shelter????

DENGUE and Goat milk!! Why so?

When we hear someone suffering from DENGUE, we or the doctors give an advice that you MUST drink GOAT milk. What is there in Goat milk that helps the patient recover faster? Why isn't any medicine made till now  from goat's milk? Is there any chemical or what, which makes the recovery faster? Well,  no evidence is related to its use in increasing the platelet count, but the only reason is that  The GOAT milk is light and Easy to digest and thus helpful in the disease when the patient finds it difficult to drink or eat things which takes time to digest. Conclusion :- Thus the conclusion is that, a person suffering from any disease and doesn't like to eat. Then he/she can be fed with the Goat's milk for proper malfunctioning of the human body.

Lactose, All you need to know ! !😵

Facts known to us           : Lactose is a disaccharide that yields D-glucose and D-galactose on hydrolysis. Lactose is one-sixth times sweeter than sucrose Facts we need to know   : It is designated as 4-ortho- β-D-galactopyranosyl-D-glucopyranose.   α-lactose: Ordinary commercial lactose is α-lactose monohydrate.  It is prepared by concentrating an aqueouslactose solution to super saturation and allow for crystallization to take place at a modern rate below 93.5 0C.    β-lactose: This is the other isomeric form lactose.  It exhibits a specific rotation of +35.00on anhydrous weight basis. Above 93.50C crystallization or drying of lactose solutions yields β anhydrate.
