07/02/2015

The lemonade group Coca Cola is not associated with healthy food by most people. But now the beverage manufacturer has one „improved“ Version of cow's milk marketed. The product should be healthier and wholesome, like regular milk. In addition, it should cost twice as much.

Beverage manufacturer brings „improved“ Milk on the market
Most people associate Coca Cola with sweet drinks in the first place. For example, it has been denounced for years that their products contain too much sugar or sweeteners. The high consumption of high-sugar drinks increases the risk of obesity, obesity or even diabetes. But now the company has one „improved“ Version of cow's milk with less sugar and more protein brought to the US market, like the „German economic news“ to report.

Product costs twice as much as conventional milk
According to the report, the beverage manufacturer claims to get one „Pennies from Heaven“ by the „premiumisierte“ Natural product that costs twice as much as normal milk. Like the British „Business Insider“ writes, according to Coca Cola „improvements“ made in comparison to original milk. The drink „Fairlife“ is lactose free, has 50 percent more protein, 30 percent more calcium and 50 percent less sugar than regular milk.

Milk as a soft drink for children
It is said that the legislator has just recently changed the conditions so that milk drinks are still available in modified form „milk“ may be called. So milk should be established as a soft drink for children. The trade magazine „Dairy Today“ reported at the end of last year that half of US adults are not drinking milk. Although milk used to be considered a healthy natural product in the United States, it can strengthen bones and teeth and prevent osteoporosis. But then again and again studies appeared, which pointed out that milk may favor diseases such as asthma or diabetes.

Milk: Healthy or unhealthy food?
Furthermore, more and more lactose intolerance (lactose intolerance) is diagnosed. People who suffer from it get discomfort after eating dairy products, such as abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea or flatulence. Those affected usually resort to lactose-free milk. But whether milk is to be regarded as healthy or unhealthy food remains a matter of debate among experts. And even if the new Coca Cola milk is healthier than conventional milk, should remain a long point of controversy. In addition to the scientific evidence of possible disease risks, there is also much evidence of the health-promoting effects of milk. Some doctors say that milk could probably even protect against colon cancer and breast cancer. (Ad)
