Will lactaid milk be ok to drink if you have a cold? Regular milk produces mucus, which is what we dont want?

Question

but I was told that lactaid milk does not. Is this true? My 92 year old mother has a bad cold and she has to drink lactaid milk for the calcium. She takes a variety of other meds but cannot take calcium pills. At any rate, she is suppose to drink this milk for calcium, but I was told lactaid milk does not produce as much mucus as regular milk does. Anyone know for sure? Because if she can skip the milk for a day or two, well, maybe it will make her feel better. Whatcha think folks?

Answer 1

No milk at all would be better. None of it is good for you:

BTW.... the milk doesn't produce the mucus, your body does. That is the body's own allergic reaction to the foreign proteins in milk. It would make no difference whether it was lactaid, powdered, or skim milk. The result is the same. The human body simply wasn't designed for any type of cow's milk.

Did you know that humans are the only species that consumes milk after infancy (not to mention milk from another species)? Did you know that you are being fed a load of garbage by the dairy industry?

Answer 2

She should not be drinking cow's milk in the first place. Stop drinking it and she will likely feel much better.

Humans are the only animal that drinks milk past infancy, and then it's not even from the correct species! Too many people are still trying to defend milk's supposed health benefits. Unfortunately, they are either using old information or information obtained from research funded by the dairy association. How many people would enjoy a glass of dog's milk or rat's milk? What makes cows special?

There are only two reasons which I've found to support humans drinking cow's milk. We have grown up hearing that it's good for us and we've grown accustomed to the taste and texture. There is absolutely no nutrition that can not be obtained elsewhere, minus the negatives. Calcium seems to be the major claim for milk. It can be found elsewhere in green vegetables, almonds, and many other sources. Where do you think the cows obtain the calcium to put into the milk? Where do other larger animals (elephants, horses, deer, whales, etc) get calcium? Why we continue to drink cow's milk laced with growth hormones, antibiotics, and who knows what else is beyond me.

Since I've given up drinking milk about 5 years ago my health has greatly improved. I suffer fewer allergy problems, asthma and breathing problems are greatly reduced, I'm sleeping better, and I have more energy.

In the '50s smoking was considered harmless but now we realize its dangers. One person at a time and eventually the truth will become widely known that cow's milk is only for baby cows. Milk is indeed the perfect food, but only for infants of the proper species.

Do some research online and decide for yourself.

Answer 3

Most likely because the majority of students can drink regular milk so the Lactaid milk would expire before they could sell most of it. Chances are, in each school there are probably only a couple people who can't drink milk. I guess they figure these students can bring their own Lactaid milk or have something else to drink.
