Do you know that research indicates drinking 1 glass of milk each day will likely help you to lower your risk of colon cancer? This was the overall result reported from 10 lagre studies: people who drank more than 1 glass (8 onces) of milk each day, were 15% less likely to develop colon cancer than people who drank less than 2 glasses each week.
Milk is an opaque white liquid produces by the mamary glands of female mammals (including monotremes). It provides the primary source of nutrition for newborn mammals befor they are able to digest other types of food. The early lactation milk is known as colostrum, and carries the mother's antibodies to the baby. It can reduce the risk of many disease in the baby. The exact components of raw milk varies by species, but it contains significant amounts of saturated fat, protein and calcium as well as vitamin C. Cow's milk has a pH ranging from 6.4 to 6.8, making it slightly acidic. Clinical efficacy of milk thistle is not clearly establish. Interpretation of the evidence is hampered by poor study methods and/ or poor quality of reporting in publications. Problems in study design include heterogenety in etiology and extend of liver disease, small sample sizes, and variation in formulation, dosing, and duration of milk thistle therapy. Possible benefit has been shown most frequenlty, but not consistently, for improvement in aminotransferases and liver function tests are overwhelming the most common outcome measure studied. Survival and other clinical outcome measures have been studied least often, with both positive and negative findings. Available evidence is not sufficient to suggest wether milk thistle may be more effective for some liver diseases than others or if effectiveness might be related to duration of therapy or chronicity and severity of liver disease. Regarding adverse effects, little evidence is available regarding causality, but available evidence does suggest that milk thistle is associated with few, and generally minor, adverse effects.
