Many times we have heard how dairy in general can harm our health. To this day, one of the most worrying situations is the possibility that dairy products give Parkinson’s. New research has found a slight correlation between consuming dairy products (particularly lights varieties) and an increased risk of developing Parkinson’s. A cohort study conducted by the American Cancer Society involving more than 130,000 people found that those who ate more than 500 grams of dairy products per day had a higher risk of developing the disease. With milk consumption as the highest risk factor. In the study, it was determined that men were also at higher risk than women. In a study by the American Academy of Neurology (AAN), low-fat dairy appeared to cause the greatest risk overall. While normal varieties did not present the same threat. According to the AAN, those who consumed three or more servings of low-fat dairy each day were 34% more likely to develop Parkinson’s. Although, it is worth mentioning, the mechanism of this correlation is still unknown, further research will reveal more details. What we do know is that perhaps we should reconsider our relationship with dairy. We must analyze if we are not consuming too much. To be safe, it is best to opt for plant-based alternatives. There is now a variety of plant-based milks, yogurts and cheeses in any supermarket.
