Which milk should I drink? Which milk is better for my children?
So many insecurities and questions arise when selecting milk, especially for kids. Among two options, loose milk (khula doodh) and packaged milk, which milk is better? It is the most common question people ask to their health care professionals and doctors these days. Many videos have leaked showing how loose milk is prepared almost from inedible things including shampoo. If milk is collected from dairy farms, it is kept on open places around files, more chance for germs and bacteria.
Loose milk has no credibility, is sold without any sort of monitoring and essential processing. Hygiene is something missing from collection to supply. We all know how it is stored openly in buckets, welcome flies and bacteria. As Pakistan is a country with hot climate, temperature between 30 to 40 may reach, just after milking, moreover its container further add up temperature causes harm to milk. Ice is also added in milk for preservation. ‘Milawat’ yes for gaining more profit water is added in milk, no one knows clean or contaminated water added in milk. Now milk is ready to supply at shops and to end consumers including babies, infants, kids and elders.
When it finally reaches to us, the way it is boiled at home is also questionable. Most of the consumers don’t know right way of boiling. Heating and re-heating milk at high temperature for a long time destroys nutrients of milk including B1, vitamin B12, Vitamin D, Vitamin B6, ascorbic acid and folate. Vitamin D and B 12 are helpful in calcium absorption which destroys when heated at high temperature.
Packaged milk on the other hand is reliable because proper procedure and standards companies has to follow. Clean environment of processing, Ultra High Temperature (UHT) and pasteurisation treatment makes it free from bacteria and save for consumption. In UHT method, above 135 degrees temperature is given to milk to destroy harmful bacteria. Pasteurization keeps the nutrients of milk safe while killing bacteria.
Pakistan Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (PCSIR) also tested packaged milk, and reported which Dairy companies are safe for consumption on the other hand there is no proper check and balance on loose milk.
The brands in Pakistan processed milk with UHT methods are Day Fresh, Haleeb, Olpers, Nestle Milk Pack and Nesvita, Nurpur Milk, and Good Milk. Dairy companies use pasteurized method are Daily Dairy, Gourmet Milk, Nutrivo Milk, Pack Fresh and others.
