The truth behind packaged milk: from dairy to plant-based milks
Packaged milk can have several potential health drawbacks:
Added Sugars: Some packaged milks, especially flavored varieties, contain added sugars, which can contribute to weight gain, diabetes, and other health issues.
Preservatives and Additives: To extend shelf life, packaged milks often contain preservatives and additives, which may not be beneficial for health.
Saturated Fat and Cholesterol: Packaged dairy milk can be high in saturated fat and cholesterol, which are linked to heart disease.
Hormones and Antibiotics: Some packaged milks may contain residues of hormones and antibiotics used in dairy farming, which can have various health implications.
Nutrient Loss: The processing of milk can lead to the loss of some nutrients, although many packaged milks are fortified to compensate for this.
