Did you find milk all over the news recently with those scary stories that might worry you to death? Seems like we were right to throw tantrums about drinking milk as kids. OROGOLD examines some of the most common dairy stories to discover the truth behind the claims that these news flashes recently made. ORO GOLD also offers you with an ideal alternative to your dairy intake to help your skin enjoy the wonders that the lactic acid present in your milk has to offer without making you go through those scary thoughts about consuming milk again.

The news stories

1. Milk causes your skin to break out.

According to a study that appeared in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology in the year 2010, there was a direct relation between acne breakouts and dairy consumption. The magazine also suggested that skim milk was one of the biggest culprits. So, if you’re prone to issues like eczema or pimples, you might be better off without drinking milk.

2. Milk leads to gas.

If you have to rush off to the restroom the moment you eat an ice cream, you should understand you’re lactose intolerant. However, many people fail to see the subtle signs. If you’re mildly intolerant, you might not be able to make a connection between milk and your bloating. In most cases, you would have experienced gas or mild cramping after a few hours. Research has shown that the body becomes worse at processing lactose as it grows old and that many people are actually prone to being lactose intolerant. So yes, milk does end up bothering many people, but it’s not like only babies should drink it.

3. Milk makes you fat.

Milk contains a lot of saturated fats. However, switching to skim milk won’t help you lose weight. According to a group of researchers working for the University of Virginia, children who drank skim milk actually gained more weight than children who drank full-fat milk. Another study conducted in Sweden also discovered the link between weight gain and full-fat milk among adult women. The study found that women who drank one or more cups of milk in the entire day had a lower chance of gaining weight than those who drank skim milk.

4. You must keep drinking milk for your skin, even if it causes problems in your GI tract. 

There is no evidence which states that your health will have to suffer if you stop drinking milk, provided you can get your Vitamin D and calcium requirements from other sources. 

Get the benefits of milk without having to drink milk

Milk is known to be extremely rich in Vitamins C and D, both of which are highly effective in helping the skin to increase its moisture content and maintain a youthful glow. Furthermore, milk also contains high quantities of lactic acid that can help to exfoliate the dry and dead skin cells from the outermost layers of your skin without the harshness that other exfoliators are known for. Finally, milk also contains hydroxyl acids that can shrink the pore size and rejuvenate the skin. So how do you  get all these benefits without having  to drink milk and suffer from all the other problems that come with it? OROGOLD examines the best ways to give your skin the same benefits that milk has to offer minus all the health-related side effects.

2. Milk cleansers. Milk cleansers can work wonders for your skin care because they not only help to exfoliate your skin, they also help to give it a moisturized look without leading to any kind of skin irritation. This helps you to enjoy a smoother look, lesser inflammation and a beautiful appearance.
