Milk is just another food, it is neither essential nor a poison, as they are making it out to be. We could be talking about the low consumption of chickpeas and nobody would go into crisis, nor about not eating chard. It is true that it has been sold to us for a long time as the star food in calcium, rich in proteins; yes, but it is not the only food we can turn to to obtain these nutrients. Should we stop drinking milk? It depends on the person, there are people who synthesize less lactase in each decade, so we digest lactose worse. But not necessarily, lactose-free milk may be good for you, but you can consume any other food. Before selling any type of milk, pasteurization must be done, a heat treatment for food safety. We eliminate the pathogenic bacteria that milk has so that it does not cause any harm to people's health. This fashion that is recently spreading, of selling raw milk is quite dangerous. Even if we sell raw milk, then at home it has to be boiled. It is better to carry out this process in the industry and not leave milk with pathogens lying around that give rise to cases of meningitis and other food poisoning due to not treating the food properly. Vegetable drinks do not have the same nutrients because they are completely different foods. We do not call it milk because the law prohibits it. There are some exceptions such as coconut or almond milk. They will have nutritional differences depending on where they come from; that is, if it comes from a cereal such as rice or oats, it will have more carbohydrates; if it comes from a dried fruit, such as almonds or hazelnuts, it will have more fat. The most nutritionally similar to milk due to its protein fraction, due to its calcium content, is soy milk. Those milks or drinks that are enriched in calcium and omega-3 must be treated with care. Firstly, keep in mind that we do not know if a higher calcium intake has the benefits that are sold to us to stop osteoporosis. Sometimes we forget to recommend more physical exercise, sun exposure, etc. And we always talk about the amount of calcium. For example, if you are investing money in fortified milk, perhaps a sandwich of sardines or some nuts would provide you with more omega-3 than that fortified drink. It is just another option, milk consumption is optional. It is neither obligatory nor a poison, it is a food like any other, nutritionally interesting but we can not consume it for animal ethics, intolerances, sustainability... The labelling will simply give us more information about the country where the cow was milked and the processing. All foods that have more than 50% milk in their composition will have to include it.
