Can Milk Cause High Blood Pressure?

Anything which is not digested completely gets stored as toxins or is eliminated from the body immediately. Why does the body stored unwanted elements as toxins? Because it did not have time to flush it out and is waiting for the appropriate moment to remove it from the body.

Milk is not completely digested in adults

Is milk completely digested by the human body? According to modern research in diets, the answer is no. The human body stops secreting Rennin and Lactase at the age of three. These enzymes are essential for the digestion of milk. You need these enzymes when you are a baby and are dependent on mother's milk for survival. For some reason we humans have decided never to wean ourselves off milk unlike other animals

Unfortunately human beings have stuck on with milk even after they become adults. Our digestive systems cannot break down the proteins, calcium, casein and milk sugar present in the milk. So what happens to these components? They enter the blood stream or get stored as toxins in the body.

Milk intake increases cholesterol in blood

The undigested fats in the milk have a tendency to enter the blood stream in the form of cholesterol. The cholesterol content in blood reacts with minerals like chlorine, which may be present in your drinking water, and get converted into a gummy byproduct which sticks on to the inner linings of your arteries as plague.

Increase in Cholesterol levels results in High Blood Pressure

The increase of plague along the inner linings would lead to the narrowing of the arteries, it also results in the hardening of the tissues which the arteries are made up of. This reduction in the elasticity and the narrowing of the arteries leads to increase in blood pressure because the heart has to pump blood at a higher pressure to send them through the defective arteries.

In fact the consumption of diary products like butter and cheese have the same result. Most people who take a diet rich in butter and cheese have a tendency to develop clogged arteries which results in high blood pressure and heart attacks. Diary products like cheese and butter are concentrated forms of milk and essentially have the same elements as present in milk.

If you must drink milk, have it in minimum quantities and avoid homogenized milk if possible.

Are Humans Milk Drinkers?

Humans are the only animals in the animal kingdom who prefer drinking the milk of another animal. It is strange that we developed such food habits in the first place. The reason why a calf drinks milk is to develop its body initially, once the digestive system is well developed it weans off the milk. Humans for some reason have decided never to get weaned off, in fact we end up drinking milk from other animals.

Be clear that in the absence of enzymes like Renin and Lactase, your digestive system has no way of digesting milk sugar, casein, protein and calcium from the milk. All of these undigested elements have a tendency to stay in the body as toxins, it may line the digestive tract or the blood vessels both of which are harmful for the body.
