Milk and Milk-Based Products:
Milk is a balanced and portion of a complete food. It provides every nutrient to our body. Some people cannot digest milk due to the absence of milk digestion hormone. The gastric and peptic juices help in milk digestion. Some people believe that milk is the reliever of heartburn. But it increases heartburn instead of decreasing it. A study shows that when people consume milk, they experience heartburn. Whole milk has several nutrients that include fats. These fats are the energy sources for our body. But when the stomach is unable to digest the milk, it causes the indigestion of milk. The undigested milk stimulates the release of cholecystokinin hormone. In return, this hormone triggers heartburn. Whole milk is the source of fats and carbohydrates. The fat content of milk can cause heartburn. Milk-based products have the same scenario for heartburn. But they have several chemicals that become part of these products during the processing of milk. Also, some milk digestion enhancers become part of milk-based products during processing. The chemicals and preservatives cause heartburn in return.
