Everyday Eating
Myth: Adults should stop drinking milk completely.
बड़ों को दूध पूरी तरह छोड़ देना चाहिए।
What science says
Milk and curd supply protein, calcium and vitamin B12 and are part of many national dietary guidelines. Some adults are lactose intolerant and manage better with curd, buttermilk, paneer or lactose-free options; that is an individual tolerance issue, not a universal rule.
BhojVigyan take
If dairy suits you, keep a modest daily amount. If it does not, curd/buttermilk or fortified plant alternatives plus other calcium sources can fill the gap.
