hello. halfway into the video i just NEED to say that as a long time indian viewer of adam ragusea it makes me so happy to see long form desi creators i love this for you.
@@krishashok I am vegan. i wont trust ur justifications as: plants are killed, milk doesn't kill in anyone. whereas plants are insentients, cant be killed, milk industry kills cows after 4-5 years of a cows life, as it can no longer produce/capable to give milk.
I’m so glad that you tell the truth about pasteurization. Having watched someone bleed out from a heart valve destroyed by brucellosis, and as someone who has studied medical history to some degree, I’m a big fan of pasteurization. I don’t want to ever watch someone die from a preventable disease.
The closing statement ...highlighting our journey from breast milk to the mily way...Too good 👍 👏👏. Also thanks for breaking the myth on the A1 and A2 milk types
The end note puts everything into context. I wish we are able to use our logic and sensibility while choosing what we eat. Afterall food is also about our choices until and unless we are making compromises on nutrition. Thank you for this video. Best wishes
I am from Kolkata..i started thinking i m not providing enough nutrition.. After watching m cery hv in budget i can hv a gd healthy lyf.. Thanks for clearing myths.. ❤❤
One of the best long format videos Krish Ashok sir. I love how you break down these myths in a scientific way. A special thanks to you, for we need people like you in this age of fear mongering that is traveling at lightening speed thanks to social media. I see a lot of people falling prey to such fear mongering by naturopaths and Ayurveda people in the most literate state of Kerala, which is very unfortunate.
Fortnight ago, youtube recommended me your video in my feed and I watched your more than 50percent of in the span of 2 hours. Loved your ideas and content about food❤. Thanks for providing a authentic information about food stuff and especially breaking huge myths too. Your knowledge is truly appreciable👏 man Love from Kashmir❤
For something so essential to our existence, we know so little of it and worse, we also have to filter through a lot of noise to get to it. Thank you for shining a light through food science.
@@krishashok I am vegan. i wont trust ur justifications as: plants are killed, milk doesn't kill in anyone. whereas plants are insentients, cant be killed, milk industry kills cows after 4-5 years of a cows life, as it can no longer produce/capable to give milk.
Few years back, I have seen people selling A2 milk at premium. And no one knows... what they are selling is A2 and how end consumer can test it. Excellent explanation @12:40. This video not just myths busted, myths are crushed with well research. Kudos Ashok!
Thank you, especially for explaining where milk in India comes from. Loved the closing thought. Would be nice if you can include data about the living conditions of the cows in these Indian farms.
Although not as bad as the West, dairy cows are grossly mistreated in India too. Practices like dehorning, branding, tying their mouths with ropes, etc., are simply essential for business. A simple rule of thumb when thinking about mistreatment of animals is whether we would accept it if a human was treated that way. Local farmers are way better than industrial farms but i wouldn't call their treatment of the cattle fair by any extent of the imagination. Our continued consumption of dairy products after coming face to face with the facts is only justifiable by speciesism
Mistreatment extends to even the feed. I've personally seen small dairy farmers in urban settings letting their cows graze in the city and these cows eventually end up grazing on garbage. However, shout out to Krish for doing God's work!
Whether it's in india or western countries. Dairy industry is obviously an harassment to cows & buffaloes , poultry is also one of the issue to consider. Free farming chickens, goat and sheep are less harmed for those who prefer having them. First india should implement population control bill irrespective of religion. The demand of food leads to all these innovations for supply of the food. 🙏
This video is not complete until information is provided about how milk consumption was made the norm in the west by the lobbying of politicians by dairy farmers which resulted in the doctors brainwashing the mothers about how milk was a superfood which then slowly percolated into India. Acknowledging how humans are the only species that consume the milk meant for the calves of another species doesn't explain why it is encouraged & necessary. A bovine in the wild does not make excess milk. Cows have been genetically altered to have big udders so that the humans can have some of its juice. The video does not explain why dairy cows have a shorter life span because they are constantly impregnated to make sure the cow has a baby so that you can then drink the milk it makes for its baby. As for me, I stopped consuming milk from 3 years ago after I've owned a few buffaloes. Bovine milk is NOT necessary for human adults or kids!
Boss, milk consumption has been a central thing in the Indo-Gangetic plain for millennia. Literally every scripture, mythology & historical records point to dairy products being crucial in all aspects of life. All that operation flood did in the 1960s is to modernize it, prevent spoilage by introducing a cold chain and quick collection & pasteurisation of raw milk.
@@krishashok Sorry, can't take my case any further when mythology and poems turned into scriptures becomes the basis for a thesis. I've concurred with myself that consuming (stealing) milk from a bovine which is meant for it's kid to begin with is immoral!
Thank you for clearing many myths. These myths were on a small scale before the influencers started spreading half-baked information, which unfortunately continues to affect many people. If there is a way to regulate the information propagated through social media it will help many. Hope the Government will take some action regarding this..
You have covered some essential topics and dispelled milk myths propagated by some people on social media. The most important thing for us Indians is to understand that how we get our milk is drastically different from the West. There have been a lot of guilt-ridden youngsters who are misinformed about the supposed cruelty aspects of milk production. Yes, there are a few small dairies that have been using industrial methods of milk extraction, but if we buy from the co-operatives, there is a good chance that the cattle are in a farmer's home and actually taken good care of. Great job overall on this video!!
I cannot explain how easy this makes my life to just forward this video every time someone questions my milk consumption methods. It covers everything and more! Love the mythological references to the Milky Way. One with the Milky way galaxy 🌌 *becomes a force ghost and fades away*
The ending is simply superb 👍 Through your videos i started looking food as " food " and eating it without any fear as i used to because of social media influence !! You really saved me and my family from unnecessaey myths and fears. Thanks to you Krish 🤜🤛
I love you Krish for this wonderful talk. I am fascinated by your subject knowledge as much as I am by your English. I am a professor of English at presidency college Chennai.
What a crisp scientific and cultural story on milk that we consume all around the globe from the time of agriculture invention. The content is greatly factful and useful. I appreciate your hard work on making these video's. And I adore your energetic speech with wonderful modal voice tones 😂🎉😊
Excellent, I am happy Krish, put this great story and science of Milk. Most desi NRI's in USA blamed A1 milk for their gut problems. they also say only Indian cows make A2. Most tropical cows make A2 as you rightly say. EFSA commissioned a study and found that A1 or A2 have same properties and effect on human body. I will share with my friends. Thank you.
@@adityapurohit6000 Hehe you can thank the central asian pastoralists who first domesticated the cow almost 10K years ago and then slowly migrated into the Indian subcontinent around 4000 years ago! They are the ones who carried the lactose tolerance gene
Really a master class in Milk science. I am consumer of skimmed milk and I used to buy tetra pack milk. But recently I started buying Skimmed milk powder and I am making my own milk at what ever time possible with out any worry. 😊 Also, may be in the next video, can you cover milk related products like paneer, cheese, whey, casin Cream, butter, ghee etc which have become ware more important in our life just like milk and there are so many myths around them. Anyways superb informatory video.
Very informative sir, Expecting a lot more of long form content . Got inspired by your videos and currently reading your book masalalab and Nutrition by Whitney and Sizer.
Tetrapack milk has made my life easier. I can’t make curd from it but tea and coffee,milkshake everything taste so good. I can use it directly to make white sauce pasta. No heating ,no running in the morning to buy milk.
Used to make it with UHT milk when I lived in SE Asia. That's what was commonly available there. No issues.. boil the milk to kill microorganisms, let it cool, add the starter/sample, mix well, set aside. It always set well. Sometimes we would add skimmed milk powder for thicker curd.
Brilliant how you connected astronomy, philosophy and both ancient civilizations to bring home a deeply spiritual point of becoming one with the galaxy in the end!!
I gifted your book to my Amma and ever since she has been a great fan. Being a chemistry graduate, your approach really resonated with her. Loved this video as well.
Superb !! Recently I started watching ur videos.i am from Kerala..after watching and understanding the science behind ur narrative,now without any doubt or hesitation I can eat whatever I like.. ofcourse if its not hurt my stomach 😂.. please keep doing such videos..all the best !
Absolutely brilliant content, Krish. I love that you battle myths with science and knowledge. At this point, someone arguing against your videos has become synonymous with not agreeing with science.
Occasionally I do get useful pushback from hard science folks who disagree with an oversimplification and I find that useful. Science communication is not the same thing as doing science, and I sometimes find that science folks don’t get that

I love your perspectives! Though I admit a preference to non-homogenized milk for almost everything if I can get it. I find the texture more pleasant, even if I know there's no health issue.
(134) Excellent dissertation, Mr. Krish!!! I tend to ignore "food bores" that slag off dairy products. OK, some people get digestives issues from them, so I get why the "alternative milks" would be a godsend for them. But just don't try to sell me a pup that my dairy consumption is turning me into a monster of some sort.
It resonated with me on a personal level because, back when I was dealing with constant sickness and a consistently low appetite, heading to the hostel for my studies surprisingly turned things around. It turned out that milk was the culprit-I couldn't digest it properly. It never occurred to me that milk, often considered a health staple, could be the source of my issues. Being a strict vegetarian, my body simply didn't agree with milk. It's fascinating how our bodies can have such unique reactions to different foods, and discovering these nuances can make a world of difference in our well-being.
On a related side note, sometimes it could be Milk allergy rather than milk intolerance. Intolerance is a digestive response whereas allergy is an immune response.
In the USA, Costco's A2 milk is much creamier, tastier and wholesome than the regular whole milk in the same store 🤔 The closing sentences are wonderful!
I see a wheel of time fan! Your videos have been amazing. I've been hooked. I've been watching folks like J Kenji Lopez, Ethan Chlebowski, etc. who do a good breakdown of the food science and it's nice to see someone doing it from the Indian food perspective.
Thank you for your immensely enlightening videos. Thank you for shattering the social media created myths and frenzies. I would request you to cite the studies and sources of information in the description if possible so that interested people can do their own research also. Once again, thank you!
Very conveniently you have avoided talking about the ethics side of milk. How the cows are made pregnant using artificial insemination, how the male calves are discarded because they are of no use to the industry, how the cows are made pregnant year after year so that then can continue to be the milking machines that we want them to be, and how once the cows is no longer in the state of giving milk, it also faces the blade of the butcher. Not to forget - India today is the 2nd largest exporter of Beef in the world. Does all this justify consuming milk?
He definitely will not address this because it’s do convenient to him and I say this as a consumer of milk and an advocate of milk. I’m a meat eating (every once in a while Desi in foreign country), mainly vegetarian eating person, and I had problems from non organic a1 milk in America, heavy bloating and gas forming as opposed to a2 milk, took me several months to realize this. In USA the industry has fucked up, they only care about profits, it’s not like in INDIA, never had a problem in INDIA consuming milk, gas problems while consuming in America. Most probably he’s funded by one of the big corporations. His videos are all like this, like decades ago where the research supported cigarette smoking is not linked to cancer, decades from now his myths will also be debunked.
Absolutely, I have also said the same thing - how he conveniently sidesteps all the reality and paints a rosy picture and on top of it is kidding everyone talking about an Onion feeling pain while being cut... ridiculous. One thing he is good at is throwing all sorts of biochemical nomenclature and overwhelming people with his gift of the gab
I just started watching your videos and I love them. For the longest time I had terrible acne and digestive issues. Once I found out that milk was the culprit it all went away surprisingly quickly.
Thank you for this eye opening video. I have thought all my life that the reason for my early puberty is because I consumed packaged milk and broiler chicken.
Is pesticide content in vegetables and fruits in India regulated as US and other countries? Do farmers use pesticides as excessively as the news says or shown in movies? I would love to have a detailed video about it. I wasn't able to find any useful sources from Google scholar.
Yet another classic.... not just scientific but also very thorough...the ending note was nice too. You are doing a huge service by spreading science and awareness..love your videos
Will you consider making a video on milk alternatives? I have recently started with almond milk since it lasts longer than regular milk from cows. I would be delighted to learn more about them
This is my most favourite video of yours I've watched so far. And I've watched many. Incredibly complete and that endnote took me to another world. Simply wow!
You did not discuss what happens male calves, as only females give milk and also about artificial insemination of cows to keep them producing milk even when they are pregnant. You need another video discussion and analyzing the mistreatment of animals just for human consumption,
Yes, people don't think about the artificial insemination and how animals are treated. Human beings will exploit everything in nature for their own benefit without thinking the consequences. They will justify all their acts by saying that even eating plants is killing the plants. True but the state of life matters. Just like Krishna in bhagwad gita said all while making fire there will be some smoke but we will try to produce the least smoke not the biggest. The important thing is how sensitive we are towards nature
Simply don't drink milk , instead drink almond milk, coconut milk,people like us who are backward and drink milk, we serve Gau Mata at our home and we take care of them in a way that no one would never be😋
@@ishansahu3527 you are not backward if you are drinking cow's milk. I don't think cow's milk is bad. I am saying it should be in the way during the ancient times when cow was a family member as it help the household to run their livelihoods. There were no tractors so human beings used cow for ploughing. Even milkman would himself take them for grazing like Krishna and they will not be treated like machine. They were not made pregnant artificially only for producing milk. Nowadays after the cow cannot give milk they are send to butchers for their silk for making leather and flesh for beef lovers and blood for medicinal purposes. Horrific the way they are exploited.
OMG! God bless you 🙏 I am so happy and mesmerized and satisfied with the knowledge you just imparted, the way of expression, the connotes in delivery of dialogue and speech. Awesome. God bless you 🙏
Fun fact! Salt is the only non living thing that humans consume ... I guess I'll have to revise this sentence a bit after this video and say.... Salt is the only substance that we consume which is not a life form or a derivative of a life form 😅
Thx a lot for all the relief you give for the every day food we have been consuming from ages but have gone scary with all those social media’s n influencers… Kudos 👍😊😊😊😊 Impressed with ur logics n scientific researches Warm regards 😊
I am one of the contributors to Christspriracy’s crowdfunding. I was fortunate to watch the invite only live screening for the contributors of the movie last week. The movie will be released in many countries on March 20 and 24th. The directors are getting lot of support from India too, and hopefully people across the country will get to watch it soon. Hope this myth of better animal agriculture practices in India is broken then.
Very useful and informative video…thanks for bursting those myths like early puberty etc…Though am a doctor but it’s a fact that nutrition awareness among doctors is very low than the diseases we know… Thanks again for putting up this.. Would definitely recommend to my patients with facts and figures…Dr. Shruthi, Head and neck oncosurgeon..
Thanks. Very informative as always.In addition to intolerance wonder why peple have allergy to milk products. My daughter had a lot of allergies including Milk and egg and understood this is due to the particular protien present. There is a huge misconception between lactose intolerance and allergy to milk and dairy. many times when we tell our friend for safety reasons the response is “ohh she is lactose intolerant”. We do really hope she grows out of her allergies and enjoy the tasty products prepared from dairy products
Saw your Tweet about how 8-10 minute videos do well on RUclips, which made me sad as I love long form content. So this makes me happy-hope you’ll be making more long form videos
With thanks for such info, please addres 2 more queries: 1. Mother Dairy milk has a strange aftersmell after drinking, which Amul does not have. Is there some difference in their processing? 2. Amul sells one Moti variant, that has long shelf life. But it again has a strange smell and after taste, which Amul's 1 day expiry milk does not have. Does it indicate bad chemicals in Moti?
No. The long lasting one is just UHT milk - treated at a higher temperature than regular pasteurisation and thus has no living microbes. The smell/taste are all individual preferences based on how much it was heated etc. They are all nutritionally same
Are you a new parent who's been told by doctors not to give milk to your kids? If so, I highly recommend watching this amazing video on milk that I recently came across. It provides insightful and collective information that's sure to be useful to you, especially if you're considering alternatives like coconut or almond milk. But be careful with social media, while it has its pros, it's a mixed bag when it comes to accurate and science-based information. So, make sure you're getting the right information from reliable sources.
Best scientific and logical video till date i watch about milk and lactose intolerance. Thanks you for making scence in this puzzled fear mongering crowd of internet.
0:37 bee larve are crushed while extracting honey from the comb. Milking cow involves slight of cruelty, milk is produced by cow exclusively for her baby calf only little is fed to the and abruptly calf is pulled away and milking is done.
Another wonderfully informative and engaging video. Moo appreciated ! May we request an add on video on the common adulterants in our milk and milk products: starch , detergent, fertilizers and whatnot , please.
The thing is - there is very little actual evidence that milk from the major state run cooperatives is adulterated. All there is is sensational social media clickbait with no actual proof
Thank you for the info on A1 & A2 milk. I am an example of severe gut(gas & bloating) issues when I consume normal milk in the USA. Even yogurt, cheese, etc I have the same issues. But I have no problems if I consume A2 milk or A2 yogurt in the USA. Another interesting thing I noticed with my gut is I can consume any dairy in Europe and India. I go from size 34 to 36 pants within 30 minutes of consuming American normal dairy and I used to suffer for almost 2-3 days. However, taking probiotics supplements reduced the suffering to less than a day now. If I go to Trader Joe's and pick up frozen Pizza made in the USA, I suffer very badly. But, if I pick up frozen pizza Imported from Italy or France I have no issues. Fortunately, I got this problem only after I got into mid 40s. But now my daughter who is in her early 20s has the same problems.
Your views and detailed logical, scientific analysis are par excellence. It's always fascinating to see your content. Do you also provide nutrition advise? Our 27 year old son has been struggling with kidney stones since 5 years now and needs some genuine help.
Fabulous.. you’ve outdone yourself. I loved the long form deep dive and especially pointing out of differences between American and Indian dairy “industry”. The editing is refreshingly crisp.. and the little gem at the end linking it to history/mythology/cosmology was the icing. I am glad you’re refuting the silly, outlandish and at times dangerous claims made by Ayurveda “experts”.
Very informative - myth buster - though would have liked to know the proportion of a1 and a2 protein on average in Indian milk - if there are any such studies done. Very creative and unique perspective in the concluding remarks! Loved it. Thanks anyway.
Nice video 💐 I buy expensive A2 Gir cow milk that is delivered in glass bottles at my doorstep ❤️ love the taste, and never feels heavy, gives enough malai to make Makhan also.. nowadays I only like my homemade butter with my breads..
hello. halfway into the video i just NEED to say that as a long time indian viewer of adam ragusea it makes me so happy to see long form desi creators i love this for you.

Please make a long format analytical video on water purification method also. Likr like RO, UV etc. Thanks❤
Absolutely brilliant content, Krish. I love that you battle myths with science and knowledge. At this point, someone arguing against your videos has become synonymous with not agreeing with science.
Occasionally I do get useful pushback from hard science folks who disagree with an oversimplification and I find that useful. Science communication is not the same thing as doing science, and I sometimes find that science folks don’t get that
I love your perspectives! Though I admit a preference to non-homogenized milk for almost everything if I can get it. I find the texture more pleasant, even if I know there's no health issue.
(134) Excellent dissertation, Mr. Krish!!! I tend to ignore "food bores" that slag off dairy products. OK, some people get digestives issues from them, so I get why the "alternative milks" would be a godsend for them. But just don't try to sell me a pup that my dairy consumption is turning me into a monster of some sort.
Indeed
It resonated with me on a personal level because, back when I was dealing with constant sickness and a consistently low appetite, heading to the hostel for my studies surprisingly turned things around. It turned out that milk was the culprit-I couldn't digest it properly. It never occurred to me that milk, often considered a health staple, could be the source of my issues. Being a strict vegetarian, my body simply didn't agree with milk. It's fascinating how our bodies can have such unique reactions to different foods, and discovering these nuances can make a world of difference in our well-being.
Indeed. Lactose intolerance is more common than we assume in any population other than North European & North Indian!
On a related side note, sometimes it could be Milk allergy rather than milk intolerance. Intolerance is a digestive response whereas allergy is an immune response.
@@sai_here Yes, correct
Superb video - thoroughly researched, sticking to facts, science n timely busting a lot of dangerous social media myths!
In the USA, Costco's A2 milk is much creamier, tastier and wholesome than the regular whole milk in the same store 🤔
The closing sentences are wonderful!
Costco isn't known for its milk quality anyway. Try Krogers or Whole Foods. And see if you notice any difference in a blind taste test
Really enjoying your science and fact-based videos told in a compelled manner. Keep up the good work!
Thank you!
I see a wheel of time fan! Your videos have been amazing. I've been hooked. I've been watching folks like J Kenji Lopez, Ethan Chlebowski, etc. who do a good breakdown of the food science and it's nice to see someone doing it from the Indian food perspective.
Thank you for your immensely enlightening videos. Thank you for shattering the social media created myths and frenzies. I would request you to cite the studies and sources of information in the description if possible so that interested people can do their own research also. Once again, thank you!
Thank you!
Very conveniently you have avoided talking about the ethics side of milk. How the cows are made pregnant using artificial insemination, how the male calves are discarded because they are of no use to the industry, how the cows are made pregnant year after year so that then can continue to be the milking machines that we want them to be, and how once the cows is no longer in the state of giving milk, it also faces the blade of the butcher. Not to forget - India today is the 2nd largest exporter of Beef in the world. Does all this justify consuming milk?
You can switch goat or sheep milk. They are raised much better
Very good point pratik
He definitely will not address this because it’s do convenient to him and I say this as a consumer of milk and an advocate of milk. I’m a meat eating (every once in a while Desi in foreign country), mainly vegetarian eating person, and I had problems from non organic a1 milk in America, heavy bloating and gas forming as opposed to a2 milk, took me several months to realize this. In USA the industry has fucked up, they only care about profits, it’s not like in INDIA, never had a problem in INDIA consuming milk, gas problems while consuming in America. Most probably he’s funded by one of the big corporations. His videos are all like this, like decades ago where the research supported cigarette smoking is not linked to cancer, decades from now his myths will also be debunked.
Yes, it does
Absolutely, I have also said the same thing - how he conveniently sidesteps all the reality and paints a rosy picture and on top of it is kidding everyone talking about an Onion feeling pain while being cut... ridiculous. One thing he is good at is throwing all sorts of biochemical nomenclature and overwhelming people with his gift of the gab
Thank you so much Krish. You are making me break all my believes and I am loving it for the freedom that it brings in my everyday life and choices.
Yay
I just started watching your videos and I love them. For the longest time I had terrible acne and digestive issues. Once I found out that milk was the culprit it all went away surprisingly quickly.
Thank you for this eye opening video. I have thought all my life that the reason for my early puberty is because I consumed packaged milk and broiler chicken.
Is pesticide content in vegetables and fruits in India regulated as US and other countries? Do farmers use pesticides as excessively as the news says or shown in movies? I would love to have a detailed video about it. I wasn't able to find any useful sources from Google scholar.
Yet another classic.... not just scientific but also very thorough...the ending note was nice too. You are doing a huge service by spreading science and awareness..love your videos
Thank you!
Will you consider making a video on milk alternatives? I have recently started with almond milk since it lasts longer than regular milk from cows. I would be delighted to learn more about them
Your videos are so good and scientific , The way of story telling is amazing. Please keep posting more videos
Thank you
Pls processed milk powder contains added sugar and maltodextrin
Sagar milk powder from Amul doesn't contain any additives. It's purest form of skimmed milk powder.
How do you know?@@mylife-sg8cm
Beautiful.... makes absolute sense. Just noticed ur tee shirt .... nammma soru dhaan mukiyam... rombba super 😂
Thank you all! You can also watch my videos in Tamil here - www.youtube.com/@masalalabtamil
This is my most favourite video of yours I've watched so far. And I've watched many. Incredibly complete and that endnote took me to another world. Simply wow!
Thank you
You did not discuss what happens male calves, as only females give milk and also about artificial insemination of cows to keep them producing milk even when they are pregnant. You need another video discussion and analyzing the mistreatment of animals just for human consumption,
Yes, people don't think about the artificial insemination and how animals are treated. Human beings will exploit everything in nature for their own benefit without thinking the consequences. They will justify all their acts by saying that even eating plants is killing the plants. True but the state of life matters. Just like Krishna in bhagwad gita said all while making fire there will be some smoke but we will try to produce the least smoke not the biggest. The important thing is how sensitive we are towards nature
Simply don't drink milk , instead drink almond milk, coconut milk,people like us who are backward and drink milk, we serve Gau Mata at our home and we take care of them in a way that no one would never be😋
@@ishansahu3527 you are not backward if you are drinking cow's milk. I don't think cow's milk is bad. I am saying it should be in the way during the ancient times when cow was a family member as it help the household to run their livelihoods. There were no tractors so human beings used cow for ploughing. Even milkman would himself take them for grazing like Krishna and they will not be treated like machine. They were not made pregnant artificially only for producing milk. Nowadays after the cow cannot give milk they are send to butchers for their silk for making leather and flesh for beef lovers and blood for medicinal purposes. Horrific the way they are exploited.
Yes 100%
Vegan is a solution and I'm vegan is the first step.
OMG! God bless you 🙏 I am so happy and mesmerized and satisfied with the knowledge you just imparted, the way of expression, the connotes in delivery of dialogue and speech. Awesome. God bless you 🙏
Thank you!
Fun fact! Salt is the only non living thing that humans consume
... I guess I'll have to revise this sentence a bit after this video and say.... Salt is the only substance that we consume which is not a life form or a derivative of a life form 😅
True, but we can't consume more than a few grams everyday and it's also non-nutritive, unlike milk or honey
@@krishashok that's a good point... I dint think this through, thank you!
Thx a lot for all the relief you give for the every day food we have been consuming from ages but have gone scary with all those social media’s n influencers…
Kudos 👍😊😊😊😊
Impressed with ur logics n scientific researches
Warm regards 😊
THank you!
I am one of the contributors to Christspriracy’s crowdfunding. I was fortunate to watch the invite only live screening for the contributors of the movie last week. The movie will be released in many countries on March 20 and 24th. The directors are getting lot of support from India too, and hopefully people across the country will get to watch it soon. Hope this myth of better animal agriculture practices in India is broken then.
One of the Best video on milk
Thank you
# Go Vegan❤
Very useful and informative video…thanks for bursting those myths like early puberty etc…Though am a doctor but it’s a fact that nutrition awareness among doctors is very low than the diseases we know… Thanks again for putting up this.. Would definitely recommend to my patients with facts and figures…Dr. Shruthi, Head and neck oncosurgeon..
wow...just loved the ending note. Wish we could include such knowledge in our schools for our little ones.
Thank you
Thanks.
Very informative as always.In addition to intolerance wonder why peple have allergy to milk products. My daughter had a lot of allergies including Milk and egg and understood this is due to the particular protien present. There is a huge misconception between lactose intolerance and allergy to milk and dairy. many times when we tell our friend for safety reasons the response is “ohh she is lactose intolerant”. We do really hope she grows out of her allergies and enjoy the tasty products prepared from dairy products
Thank you!
Saw your Tweet about how 8-10 minute videos do well on RUclips, which made me sad as I love long form content. So this makes me happy-hope you’ll be making more long form videos
End note awesome.. Got introduced to you through Dr. pal channel. U r awesome. Keep rocking. Indian society needs more like you.
This is one of the finest ones from you krish ashok. Really love what you do on web.
Thanks for addressing lots of Myths that I carried for so long.
Thank you!
Your work is upto international standards 🎉
Thank you
Keep going sir, you had cleared so many doubts and fears which are spread in the internet
Thank you!
Only one thing.. please 🙏 include chapters in your video. Your videos are very informative. It will be easy to navigate through all the contents
Ah yes, I think I forgot to turn it on. Let me do that!
With thanks for such info, please addres 2 more queries:
1. Mother Dairy milk has a strange aftersmell after drinking, which Amul does not have. Is there some difference in their processing?
2. Amul sells one Moti variant, that has long shelf life. But it again has a strange smell and after taste, which Amul's 1 day expiry milk does not have. Does it indicate bad chemicals in Moti?
No. The long lasting one is just UHT milk - treated at a higher temperature than regular pasteurisation and thus has no living microbes. The smell/taste are all individual preferences based on how much it was heated etc. They are all nutritionally same
Wonderful narration and debunking many myths.
Excellent Ashok
Thank you!
Are you a new parent who's been told by doctors not to give milk to your kids? If so, I highly recommend watching this amazing video on milk that I recently came across. It provides insightful and collective information that's sure to be useful to you, especially if you're considering alternatives like coconut or almond milk. But be careful with social media, while it has its pros, it's a mixed bag when it comes to accurate and science-based information. So, make sure you're getting the right information from reliable sources.
Bravo for the beautiful depiction of the milk from ancient times ….taking it to celestial milky ways. The source of all creation.
Best scientific and logical video till date i watch about milk and lactose intolerance.
Thanks you for making scence in this puzzled fear mongering crowd of internet.
Thank you!
0:37 bee larve are crushed while extracting honey from the comb.
Milking cow involves slight of cruelty, milk is produced by cow exclusively for her baby calf only little is fed to the and abruptly calf is pulled away and milking is done.
Another wonderfully informative and engaging video. Moo appreciated ! May we request an add on video on the common adulterants in our milk and milk products: starch , detergent, fertilizers and whatnot , please.
The thing is - there is very little actual evidence that milk from the major state run cooperatives is adulterated. All there is is sensational social media clickbait with no actual proof
Much relieved ! Thank you
This is a well constructed narrative on milk and facts associated with it! Splendid!
Thank you!
I got goosebumps on that closing note. ❤
As the legend Vivek says, 'Inikki Setha, Nalaikku Paal'
legendary
Thank you for the info on A1 & A2 milk. I am an example of severe gut(gas & bloating) issues when I consume normal milk in the USA. Even yogurt, cheese, etc I have the same issues. But I have no problems if I consume A2 milk or A2 yogurt in the USA. Another interesting thing I noticed with my gut is I can consume any dairy in Europe and India. I go from size 34 to 36 pants within 30 minutes of consuming American normal dairy and I used to suffer for almost 2-3 days. However, taking probiotics supplements reduced the suffering to less than a day now. If I go to Trader Joe's and pick up frozen Pizza made in the USA, I suffer very badly. But, if I pick up frozen pizza Imported from Italy or France I have no issues. Fortunately, I got this problem only after I got into mid 40s. But now my daughter who is in her early 20s has the same problems.
Yes, we can all be sensitive to specific kinds of dairy, so consume what works for you
The long form videos are so helpful! We would love for you to debunk more Ayurvedic myths
Haha oh boy it always seems to make a lot of people angry
Thanks
Thank you!
Your views and detailed logical, scientific analysis are par excellence. It's always fascinating to see your content. Do you also provide nutrition advise? Our 27 year old son has been struggling with kidney stones since 5 years now and needs some genuine help.
Excellent detailed research and myth busting there. But "Galactose" was pure surprise. Thanks for all tge efforts to put out great content😇
Glad you enjoyed it
Man, that T-shirt print !😂👍
TIL, thank you.
Brilliant Analysis as always Krish Sir.... I have become a fan of your work
Thank you!
Thank you for your clear, sensible and practical way of putting things across!
Thank you
Are you in Bangalore?
@@sarasavasudevan Chennai!
Loved the video ❤ Thank you for putting science and sense. Love how you ended it philosophically too. It’s the perfect blend of facts and philosophy!
Cool ending you've written
Thank you!
Krish , that was fine writing at the end of the video. Great work as usual. Your channel deserves to be subscribed :)
Fabulous.. you’ve outdone yourself. I loved the long form deep dive and especially pointing out of differences between American and Indian dairy “industry”. The editing is refreshingly crisp.. and the little gem at the end linking it to history/mythology/cosmology was the icing. I am glad you’re refuting the silly, outlandish and at times dangerous claims made by Ayurveda “experts”.
Thank you!
Very informative - myth buster - though would have liked to know the proportion of a1 and a2 protein on average in Indian milk - if there are any such studies done.
Very creative and unique perspective in the concluding remarks! Loved it.
Thanks anyway.
Wonderful video. Used to always wonder why the north Indians love milk and South Indians love curds. !
Nice video 💐 I buy expensive A2 Gir cow milk that is delivered in glass bottles at my doorstep ❤️ love the taste, and never feels heavy, gives enough malai to make Makhan also.. nowadays I only like my homemade butter with my breads..
Great! If you love the flavour and can afford it, good!
