Doctor Huang Hsuan suggests that if there are no issues with high cholesterol, one should drink whole milk every day. Recent research has found that long-term consumption of whole milk by mice does not lead to weight gain; on the contrary, it can increase good cholesterol and benefit cardiovascular health. Therefore, there is no need to blindly choose low-fat milk. He points out that moderate consumption of whole milk, combined with a balanced diet and exercise, can help control appetite and become part of a healthy lifestyle. However, individual health conditions vary, and it is recommended that those with concerns consult a professional doctor or nutritionist.
Dr. Huang Hsuan recommends that if the public does not have high blood lipid issues, they should drink whole milk daily. A recent study showed that long-term feeding of high doses of whole milk to mice did not result in weight gain, and the levels of good cholesterol significantly increased, suggesting that whole milk is not only harmless but may also be beneficial for cardiovascular health.
Dr. Huang mentioned on his social media platform that many people mistakenly believe that whole milk leads to obesity and increased blood lipid levels, but the reality is the opposite. A study published in the international journal "Food & Function" indicated that long-term feeding of whole milk to mice did not cause significant increases in blood lipid levels or weight gain, but instead raised the levels of HDL-C (good cholesterol). This means there is no need to blindly choose low-fat milk anymore.
He pointed out that if an individual does not have high blood lipid or metabolic syndrome issues, moderate consumption of whole milk is indeed beneficial for health. Furthermore, the fat in milk can provide a feeling of fullness, helping to control appetite. Dr. Huang suggests that along with a balanced diet and exercise, whole milk can be a part of a healthy lifestyle. For example, having a cup of whole milk with oatmeal or whole grain bread for breakfast not only provides ample energy but also supports cardiovascular health.
If planning to make yogurt at home, one might consider using whole milk to enhance the texture and nutritional value. However, the doctor also reminds that everyone’s body condition is different, and if there are any concerns, one should seek advice from a professional physician or nutritionist. It is important to note that this study was conducted using mice as experimental subjects, and the results may not necessarily apply to humans.
