Introduction: In addition, the milk is easily digestedand compared to other dairy products.However, this topic of study regarding the effects of daily consumption of cow’s milk brings controversial and divergent discussions.
Objective: This analysis aims to examine several studies that investigated the impacts of regular consumption of cow's milk on human health, addressing both the potential benefits and risks associated with this practice.
Methods: Simple literature review in which 29 articles were searched in the Science Direct and Pub Med databases in search of scientifically based arguments in which the effects of regular milk consumption were considered regarding the benefits or harms that this habit can bring. The search methodology used the keywords: milk allergies, daily milk consumption, milk, and inflammation. The criteria used to select the works were articles that explored the different contexts in which habitual milk consumption can interfere. The articles studied are from different nationalities, such as British, North American, Irish, Argentine, and Portuguese.
Results: Studies have shown that the pathologies studied are increasingly common and determining, influencing the natural history of diseases. It was also observed that ingesting milk at the appropriate frequency and quantity helps to strengthen the body and the immune system, in addition to providing an adequate intake of calcium or vitamin D. However, there is a non-negligible allergenic potential, considering that cow's milk contains numerous proteins, eight of which have allergenic potential. Lactose intolerance also represents a problem for some consumers.
Conclusion: The studies reviewed emphasize the fundamental contribution of milk consumption and its significant benefits for improving quality of life, playing a crucial role in various physiological conditions of the human body. It is essential to highlight, however, that the beneficial potential of milk can be counterproductive in cases of allergies or intolerances to its components. Therefore, the inclusion of milk in the diet should be considered sensitively, considering each person's individual needs.
