The discoveries around its benefits do not stop surprising us.  And the fact is that every day we realize that milk is one of the most complete foods, especially now, when an international research consortium is working in the development of the milk genome.

With this research, we could develop other healthy compounds that are present in the milk, and it would help encode new procedures in the manufacturing of milk that would increase the advantages and benefits that this food has demonstrated to have.

Some of them refer to its capacity to inhibit the bacteria that causes diseases and its capacity to increase the presence of beneficial bacteria.  Milk has also demonstrated to be beneficial for the improvement of the immune function, the arterial tension and the absorption of nutritive substances, according to other studies recently made by experts from the University of California.

The experts state that, once the advantages of milk are detected, these are easily transferable to any type of food, as reported in the website Nutraingredients.com (2005).

It is essential to remember that milk has a high content of nutrients, proteins, fat, lactose and mineral salts, which make it the best source of calcium in the diet, not only for its amount, but also for its bio-availability.  Moreover, milk presents advantages from the functional perspective; and this gives place to a wide range of dairy products with different sensorial texture properties.

In the last years, researchers from different disciplines have scientifically demonstrated how different dairy components can perform different biological activities in the body, giving way to beneficial effects in health, either improving the condition of the individual or preventing certain diseases. For this reason, daily consumption of milk or any of its by-products is a current contribution to your health, and for the future prevention of diseases such as osteoporosis.
