thick glass of milk to settle your stomach? It's soothing to drink, and at least you are getting something nutritious inside you.
This remedy has been around for years in countries where milk is popular. Until the 1980s, doctors would sometimes recommend milk to patients with duodenal ulcers (in the intestine just beyond the stomach) to help ease their discomfort.
 Milk is in fact slightly acidic, but far less so than the gastric acid naturally produced by the stomach.
So it was thought long that milk could neutralise this stronger acid and relieve the pain.
Milk does help provide a temporary buffer to gastric acid but studies have shown that milk stimulates acid production,
which can make you feel sick again after a short period of relief. In 1976, ten hardy research participants put themselves forward to test this out.
They had emptied their stomachs and were fed then milk through a tube up their nose. An hour later the contents of their stomachs were sucked out again
and then gastric acid secretion was measured every five minutes. The researchers found that milk caused an increase in the secretion of gastric acid for the next three hours,
which could explain why people with ulcers typically experience pain a few hours after a meal.
It's not just milk though. Studies comparing coffee, tea, beer and milk found they all stimulated the secretion of acid.
Beer and milk have the greatest effect, which suggests, somewhat surprisingly, that the ph of a drink is irrelevant
when it comes to acid production. So what is the ingredient in milk that causes the stomach to produce acid?
low-fat and fat-free milk. All increased acid secretion. How about calcium? When they tried the experiment using low-calcium milk,
less acid was produced, but there was an exception. The patients who had evidence of duodenal ulcers,
The other ingredient which might stop milk from settling your stomach is the milk protein casein.
Either way, milk is recommended no longer for people with ulcers because it might do the opposite of soothing them.
One unlucky group was assigned to drink only milk oe two litres a day in total,
while fewer than expected got better in the milk-drinking group. Milk appeared to hinder the healing process.
But could very large quantities of milk present a problem? In 1980,21, 000 adults in the city of Tromso in Norway were invited to join a health study where they would be followed for seven years, during
They found that heavy milk drinkers (defined as four or more glasses a day) were more likely to develop an ulcer, especially amongst the men.
whether the milk was full fat or skimmed. So was the milk causing the ulcers?
The difficulty here is that some people with pain drink milk to ease the symptoms temporarily,
so perhaps they were consuming milk as a result of the ulcer. But the risk was also high in those drinking large quantities of milk,
despite not having symptoms, so it's hard to disentangle the causality. So although milk temporarily coats the lining of the stomach,
buffering the acid in your stomach and making you feel a bit better, the relief might last for only twenty minutes or so.
In other words milk may have many benefits, but settling an upset stomach isn't one of them. If you would like to comment on this article

When good milk turns badwilliam Kisaalita has cold milk on his mind. The tissue engineer runs a program at the University of Georgia in the US that develops new technologies to help farmers in his native Uganda,
But now he has turned his attention to milk producers in his home country. Many small-scale Ugandan farmers own a few cows,
the milk has to be cooled oe easier said than done in areas with intermittent or no electricity.
I've seen farmers pour their milk away at the end of the day Kisaalita says. Sometimes as much as half of it.
 And when sour milk is poured away, so too are profits and a valuable source of nutrition.
The United nations, in fact, estimates that 27%of all milk in Uganda goes to waste, much of it due to spoilage.
So Kisaalita and his students began building a small-scale milk chiller that could hold 20 litres of the white stuff.
Compressors, condensers and refrigerants are pumped through the system to rapidly chill the milk and keep it Cool it's a system that requires a constant electrical power,
and use a fraction of the biogas to run the milk chiller. The rest could be used for cooking or lighting.
As an alternative, he developed a milk chiller that runs on propane, which is cheaper and widely available locally.

Americans have been moving toward low-fat milk for decades, leaving a surplus of whole milk and milk fat.
Yet the government, through Dairy management, is engaged in an effort to find ways to get dairy back into Americans diets, primarily through cheese.
an ounce of many cheeses contains as much saturated fat as a glass of whole milk. When Michelle Obama implored restaurateurs in September to help fight obesity,
but said that lower milk consumption had made cheese an important source of calcium. oewhen eaten in moderation
Relentless Marketing Every day, the nations cows produce an average of about 60 million gallons of raw milk,
And the majority of that milk has removed fat to make the low-fat or nonfat milk that Americans prefer.
A vast amount of leftover whole milk and extracted milk fat results. For years, the federal government bought the industrys excess cheese and butter,
an outgrowth of a Depression-era commitment to use price supports and other tools to maintain the dairy industry as a vital national resource.
Dairy management, through the oegot Milk? campaign, has been successful at slowing the decline in milk consumption, particularly focusing on schoolchildren.
It has marketed also relentlessly cheese and pushed back against the Agriculture departments suggestion that people eat only low-fat or fat-free varieties.

#Milk from the Offspring of a Cloned Cow Being sold in British Stores A British dairy farmer said he was using milk from a cow bred from a clone Milk from the offspring of a cloned cow is being sold in British shops,
The FSA said it believed that the practice of selling milk from cloned cows and their offspring was illegal.
The farmer said that as part of his daily production he was using milk from a cow bred from a clone.
The milk was not being labelled or identified as being different from produce derived from a cow born naturally.
because he feared that consumers would stop buying his milk, made the claim to the International Herald tribune. He also said he was selling embryos from the same cow to breeders in Canada.
The cows being used to produce the milk started life in the United states as embryos created from the eggs of cloned cows and the sperm of normal bulls.
The offspring produce higher quantities of milk than normal cows. In 2007 it was disclosed that eight cloned cows were born this way on British farms,

#Organic milk shortage around the U s. Where s my organic milk?##There is a shortage of organic milk across the country,
and it has become so bad in areas like the Southeast that Publix stores from Florida to Tennessee have put up signs in dairy cases anticipating the shopper s frustration.
while the price that farmers receive for their milk has not. That means that farmers feed their cows less
resulting in lower milk production. At the same time, fewer farmers have been converting from conventional dairying to organic.
Through it all the demand for organic milk has been growing. It s a double whammy to have higher sales than you expect
and less milk,#said George L. Siemon, chief executive of Cropp, the farmers co-op that produces Organic Valley milk and much of the milk sold as supermarket store brands.
We re sweating bullets over it.##The shortages have been most noticeable on the East Coast
Target says that it has had difficulty keeping organic milk on shelves nationwide. Wegmans, a chain with 79 stores from Massachusetts to Virginia, said it has had shortages of milk from Horizon, a major national brand.
And Publix, with about 1, 050 stores in five Southeastern states, said shortages started in November in both its store brand, Publix Greenwise Market organic milk,
and national brands like Horizon and Organic Valley. Supplies are sporadic##said Kimberly Jaeger, a Publix spokeswoman.
We are working with our suppliers to secure as much organic milk as we can.##Dairy industry executives predicted that the shortage
Organic milk sales are growing, even though the milk costs significantly more than the conventional kind. Sales of whole organic milk increased 17 percent from January through October,
measured by volume, compared with the same period last year, according to the Agriculture department. Reduced-fat organic milk sales rose by 15 percent.
At the same time, total conventional milk sales decreased 2 percent. While the shortage may be frustrating for consumers,
it reveals a bitter truth for organic dairy farmers, who say they simply need to be paid more for their milk.
If it doesn t happen, the milk s not going to be said there Tony Azevedo, an organic dairy farmer in Stevinson, Calif,
. and the president of the Western Organic Dairy Producers Alliance, a farmer group. And you re going to have more and more consumers that are going to be turned away.#
#The alliance sent a letter to major milk processors like Organic Valley and Horizon this month,
processors would have to increase the amount paid to farmers by $5 for every 100 pounds of milk.
#Mr. Azevedo also said that retailers should do their part by lowering their markup on organic milk
Mr. Azevedo, who sells his milk to the Organic Valley co-op, said that he receives a base payment of about $24. 50 for each 100 pounds of milk, known as a hundredweight.
Like many farmers, he gets bonuses linked to milk quality and seasonal factors, which bring his total payment to about $27 a hundredweight.
Mr. Azevedo said that cows on organic farms typically produce much less milk than cows on conventional farms.
because they can sell organic milk for more money. But this year, the price of conventional milk has risen closer to the organic price,
while the costs of conventional dairy farming have not risen as much as organic costs have. Mr. Siemon said that a handful of Organic Valley s dairy farmers had switched back to conventional farming this year,
Like never before, we ve seen them go back to conventional milk##Mr. Siemon said. Mr. Siemon said that his company was able to give retail customers about 90 to 95 percent of the milk they order.
Scott Mcginty, president of Aurora Organic Dairy, another large processor, estimated that there is a 20 percent shortfall in organic milk nationwide.
The shortage has been pronounced most in the Northeast, where dairy farms tend to be smaller than in the West and where a single company, Stonyfield Farm of New hampshire, buys a large portion of the local organic production.
Mr. Siemon says that to fill spot gaps in production he has had to send trucks of milk from the Midwest to the East Coast or from California to the Midwest.
Dean Horowitz, chief executive of the company, A&d Yogurt, said he was not able to get a reliable supply of organic milk in the Northeast.
For us to provide ourselves with enough security and enough milk we re going to ship it across the country,
It comes just months after Chinese scientists announced they had modified genetically a herd of around 300 diary cows to produce milk with the same qualities as human breast milk,

#Glass of milk can contain a cocktail of up to 20 chemicals Scientists found a host of chemicals used to treat illnesses in animals and people in samples of cow, goat and human breast milk.
A cocktail of up to 20 painkillers, antibiotics and growth hormones, can be found in a glass of milk,
they found a host of chemicals used to treat illnesses in animals and people in samples of cow, goat and human breast milk.
but the results highlight how man-made chemicals are now found throughout the food chain. the highest quantities of medicines were found in cows milk.
or got into milk through cattle feed or contamination on the farm. The Spanish-Moroccan team analysed 20 samples of cows milk bought in Spain and Morocco,
along with samples of goat and breast milk. Their breakdown, published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, revealed that cows milk contained traces of anti-inflammatory drugs niflumic acid
mefenamic acid and ketoprofen#commonly used as painkillers in animals and people. It also contained the hormone 17-beta-estradiol, a form of the sex hormone oestrogen.
The hormone was detected at three millionths of a gram in every kilogram of milk, while the highest dose of niflumic acid was less than one millionth of a gram per kilogram of milk.
However, the scientists, led by Dr Evaristo Ballesteros, from the University of Jaen in Spain, say their technique could be used to check the safety of other types of food.
Dr Ballesteros said: We believe the new methodology will help to provide a more effective way of determining the presence of these kinds of contaminants in milk or other products.
Food quality control laboratories could use this new tool to detect these drugs before they enter the food chain.
The tests also found niflumic acid in goats milk, while breast milk contained traces of painkillers ibuprofen and naproxen,
along with the antibiotic triclosan and some hormones. The researchers say their new 30-minute test is the most sensitive of its kind.
If the findings are true for Spanish and Moroccan milk, they could equally be true for milk produced in Britain and Northern europe.
Last year Portsmouth University scientists found that fish were being contaminated with the antidepressant Prozac. The drug enters rivers from the sewer system and tinkers with the brain chemistry of fish,
#Chinese Scientists Modify Cows to Produce Human Breast Milk Isnt it hard for the babies to suck off the cow udders?
Chinese scientists have modified genetically dairy cows to produce human breast milk, and hope to be selling it in supermarkets within three years#The milk produced by the transgenic cows is identical to the human variety
and has the same immune-boosting and antibacterial qualities as breast milk, scientists at Chinas Agricultural University in Beijing say.
The transgenic herd of 300 was bred by inserting human genes into cloned cow embryos which were implanted then into surrogate cows.
The milk is still undergoing safety tests but with government permission it will be sold to consumers as a more nutritious dairy drink than cows milk.
Workers at the universitys dairy farm have tasted already the milk and say it is sweeter and stronger than the usual bovine variety.

#Donkeyâ##s Milk Helps You Lose weight: Study Study shows drinking donkeys milk is good for you. Cleopatra would bathe in it as part of her beauty regime.
Milk from donkeys, which was still being drunk in Victorian times, contains less fat and is more nutritious than cows milk.
Researchers have found that drinking donkeys milk could be a good way to lose weight and protect your heart.
They also found that it be a natural protection to the heart as it contains omega three and six fatty acids, similar to fish oil,
As it is also much closer to human milk it could be used in young children who are allergic to normal dairy products.
The study at the University of Naples, Italy, compared the effect of donkey milk compared to cows milk in diet and health.
In experiments, they found that the cows milk and donkey milk provided the same amount of energy
Rodents that were given the donkey milk also showed lower levels of triglycerides, unhealthy fats that affect the heart,
#Earlier research has shown that it could even be better than semi-skimmed, soya or formula milk,
Its make up is very similar to human breast milk and because it is low in proteins it can be used in young children who are allergic to proteins in cows milk.

Indeed, breast feeding has been shown to have many benefits for children. However, why anyone other than children would benefit from drinking human milk,
in so much as they would benefit more than getting the same nutrients from non-creepily-genetically-modified animal sources, escapes me entirely.
