Why you shouldn't drink milk with potatoes

The combination of starch with animal protein will not harm a healthy body in any way.

However, for people with even minor problems with the gastrointestinal tract, such a combination threatens at least indigestion.

It is noted that a deficiency of lactase, an enzyme that breaks down dairy products, is characteristic of approximately half of the people inhabiting the globe.

That is why it is better to avoid drinking milk with potatoes. The combination of proteins and fats with starch does not interact well because their breakdown is carried out by different conditions of the gastrointestinal tract.

Therefore, if they are taken together, digestion will be slow and as a result, protein will begin to rot in the intestines.

Previously, we listed products that should not be washed down with kefir.
