The doctor called the amount of milk dangerous for the liver in old age

Milk itself is good for health, but excessive consumption can increase the risk of liver cancer in people over 60 years of age. About this on June 24, "Gazeta.Ru" was told by the director of the ANO SIC "Healthy Nutrition", nutritionist, gastroenterologist Nuria Dianova.

"Excessive consumption of milk (more than three and a half glasses per week), especially fatty milk (more than 3.6% fat content), can increase the risk of liver cancer in people over 61.5 years old. <...> To reduce the risks, it is worth giving up this drink," said Diana.

At the same time, the doctor advised to gradually reduce the amount of milk consumed. First, you need to exclude its addition to other dishes and drinks.

"Try herbal alternatives. Instead of cow's milk, you can use soy, almond, oatmeal or rice milk. They can also be healthy and delicious," the nutritionist advised.
