The Scary Reason Why You Should NEVER Add Milk To Your Coffee

"Cow's milk is super acidic, highly mucous forming, and is usually loaded with hormones and antibiotics," Nathalie W. Rhone, MS, RDN, CDN warns.

And that's not all--the white stuff you've been drinking daily for years is actually difficult to digest.

"Most of us have a hard time digesting cow's dairy," Rhone advises.

What should you drink instead? "If you are going to drink animal's milk opt for sheep or goat, as it is typically easier tolerated, and make sure it is sourced well. But even better choose an unsweetened plant based milk like almond or coconut."

It's fattening, too. "Milk is produced by the mother cow with the purpose of making the baby grow as fast as possible," Rhone reminds. "Humans are the only species that drinks another mammal's milk after weaning."
