Drinking Milk It caused Osteoporosis?

Friday, December 4, 2009


National Osteoporosis Day 2009 was commemorated thousands of residents in Bundaran Hotel Indonesia, Jakarta, on 25 October. As an event, the event was quite successful in attracting attention, which of course can not be separated from the role of a private company who markets milk products, especially for adults.

The show also seems to be the antithesis or the refutation of the notion that drinking too much milk actually causes osteoporosis. This last opinion referred to in this best-selling works of Prof. Dr. Hiromi Shinya, The Miracle of enzyme-Self-Healing Program, which in 2008 had been translated into Indonesian and published Qanita, a subsidiary of Mizan.

National Osteoporosis Day 2009 was commemorated thousands of residents in Bundaran Hotel Indonesia, Jakarta, on 25 October. As an event, the event was quite successful in attracting attention, which of course can not be separated from the role of a private company who markets milk products, especially for adults.

The show also seems to be the antithesis or the refutation of the notion that drinking too much milk actually causes osteoporosis. This last opinion referred to in this best-selling works of Prof. Dr. Hiromi Shinya, The Miracle of enzyme-Self-Healing Program, which in 2008 had been translated into Indonesian and published Qanita, a subsidiary of Mizan.

Until this year, the book has been reprinted several times. No less than employers believe Ciputra highly of the book, to ever hold a seminar for the elderly at home with the speaker describing a doctor points Shinya book.

In his book, a professor Shinya Medicine Albert Einstein School of Medicine in the United States writes: "One of the biggest public misconceptions about milk is that milk helps prevent osteoporosis. Because the amount of calcium in the body decreases with age, we are told to drink lots of milk to prevent osteoporosis. However, this is a big mistake. Drinking too much milk actually causes osteoporosis. "

What argument against the opinion that Shinya "against" public opinion, including some doctors clinic nutritionist? According to Shinya, levels of calcium in human blood is usually pegged at 9-10 mg. "However, when drinking milk, the concentration of calcium in your blood suddenly increased. Although at first glance this might seem like a lot of calcium has been absorbed, increasing the amount of calcium in the blood has a bad side. When the concentration of calcium in the blood suddenly increased, the body tries to restore this abnormal situation becomes normal again by removing calcium from the kidneys through the urine, "said Shinya opinion.

He added, "If you try to drink milk in the hope of getting calcium, the results were ironic, that is decreasing the amount of calcium in your body as a whole. Of the four major dairy state-Americans, Swedish, Danish, and Finnish, which consume a lot of milk every day, in many cases of hip fractures and osteoporosis. "

Makes sense

Responding to the opinion of this Shinya, clinical nutritionist Faculty of Medicine, University of Indonesia, Prof. Dr. Waloejo Soerjodibroto, when contacted said that the opinion was reasonable. Waloejo admitted Shinya has not read the book, but he was not convinced that the excessive levels of calcium intake by drinking milk instead to encourage the disposal of calcium from the kidneys through the urine, including calcium from bone mass. "No matter how much milk is a source of protein, so in the right context, milk remains useful to the body," he said.

However, agree with most Waloejo Shinya opinion that the cow's milk is best suited for calves, not for human children, especially adult men. "In the development of modern society, breast milk is replaced by milk formula or breast milk substitutes to the mother can actively work. Humans have to engineer the brain, including creating a breast milk substitute are approaching or similar breast milk, although the same can not exactly, "he added.

We will remember the slogan of nutrition "Four Healthy, Five Perfect" which created a national nutrition figures, the late Prof. Dr. Poorwosoedarmo, about four decades ago, which mentioned that the consumption of milk "refine" the four other food components (carbohydrates, proteins and fats of vegetable / animal, vegetables, and fruits). According to Waloejo, the slogan is good and very useful during the 1960s, when the nutritional condition of Indonesian society is still not good because it provides an easy guide the public mind.

"But now we can question whether it was true without our nutritional intake of milk less than perfect. This guide is then replaced with the term 'balanced diet' (balanced diet), which is also not right. The right to the context of Giza or Indonesia is a complete nutrition (wholesome diet). All components there, no excess, no shortage, "said Waloejo.

Fish Consumption

According to Prof. Errol Fortunately Hutagalung, Indonesia Chairman Osteoporosis Society (PEROSI), peak bone mass (peak bone mass) occurs in people age 20 to 30 of the year. The number of people with osteoporosis continue to rise and it is feared the burden of health problems in Indonesia 40 years. One of the prevention effort is to maximize calcium when the age of 20-30 years. Reduction of calcium began to happen at the age of 40 years and increasing after the age of 50 years, he said (Kompas, 26/10). When contacted last night, Hutagalung said Shinya has not read the book so can not comment on that milk consumption can actually increase the rate of osteoporosis.

Prof. Waloejo otherwise agreed with the opinion of Prof. Shinya that calcium intake is not solely to the milk. Small fish and seaweed, which for centuries eaten by the Japanese, it contains calcium which is not absorbed too fast (slow release) that it can increase the amount of calcium in the blood.

Waloejo stressed, which is important to prevent the mass loss of calcium in bone tissue is not just calcium intake, but also the availability of vitamin D3, which is made from the core of cholesterol.

At the beginning of evolution, early humans are not easy to find fat. In its development, the environment and changing patterns of human life, but the mechanism of the intestine and the human enzymes was not different from ancient to modern humans.

"That is why we now find that many cases of obesity, excess cholesterol and triglycerides. Prof. Shinya criticism has a point, "he said.
