Over the last decade milk has become a bit controversial. Some people say it’s a necessary and nutritious food, vital for healthy bones, but others say it can cause cancer and lead to an early death.

So who is right? And why are we drinking it anyway?

  • Also ,statistically, banning milk will greatly reduce the amount of fathers that go missing every year buying it.
  • Some studies have found that being alive puts you at a grave risk of dying...
  • @mikong6158
    You have no idea how relieved I am to learn that milk in fact does NOT cause cancer
  • @sparky844
    As a chronic cereal addict, milk is by far the biggest part of my diet and my entire gut bacteria biome probably revolves around it lmao so i hope it's healthy.
  • @KingNBubby
    Me: Gets pimple Me: Stares at milk You did this
  • @jasoneffiwatt9517
    As a male that likes milk, I skipped a heartbeat when prostrate cancer was mentioned
  • I love how these videos present many sides to every issue. Thank you.
  • I can't imagine one day when Kurzgesagt team replaced the narrator. His voice is so important on Kurzgesagt's videos.
  • @l3ssthanthr333
    In short: -Milk is fine as long as you dont have an intolerance -Milk isnt the best for the environment
  • @chrysaor5171
    I used to have a severe milk allergy when I was younger. Luckily I have long since out grown it and enjoy milk and milk products without any adverse effects :D
  • @JRat1509
    This was the exact type of video I was looking for. Props to you sir
  • @Eizkiboy
    i just LOVE your videos and artstyle
  • It's important to note that much of the vitamins and minerals added to plant-based milk alternatives are not as bioavailable as the vitamins and minerals present in dairy milk and aren't absorbed very well by the body. In order to maximise your consumption of vitamins and minerals from plant-based alternatives it is also really important to shake the carton before pouring it every time as the added nutrients sink to the bottom meaning if you don't shake, you're getting very little nutrition at all.
  • @WahooMc
    Id like to see a video analysis of eggs, that'd be real neat
  • @monckey44
    I love how all these videos are like “is thing good or bad? ....well, it’s complicated”
