BUSTED: TOP 5 MYTHS ABOUT MILK

A glass of milk for most people is the ideal way to start and end the day. Right from birth this drink has been the popular choice of many. However at many instances, misinformation that spreads amongst people leads to fallacious beliefs.
Let's have a look at the top five myths about milk.
1. Weight Gain
Some people believe that drinking milk can result in weight gain. However, there are studies that prove that drinking milk in a healthy pattern can actually prevent you from putting on those extra kilos.
2. Kidney Stones
A popular myth that is held amongst people is that drinking milk could lead to the formation of kidney stones. It is essential to note that supplying your body with the correct amount of calcium can be an effective way to prevent and reduce the rate of the formation of kidney stones in the body.
3. Mucus
Drinking milk does coagulate the saliva, which is mistaken by people to be result into the formation of mucus. Nevertheless milk doesn't lead to phlegm or mucus formation. To add it to, there isn't enough research material on the subject to prove it otherwise.
4. Lactose Intolerance
Another major myth that makes rounds amongst people is that people who are intolerant to lactose cannot consume any milk products. However, milk that is lactose free can be consumed as well as mozzarella and cheddar cheese that contains negligible amounts of lactose. For all the yogurt lovers, it would be interesting to note that the bacteria that this preparation contains, aids the breaking down of lactose.
5. Pasteurization
It is wrongly deemed that the process of pasteurization destroys all the vitamins and minerals in the milk. Milk contains 16 essential nutrients like calcium and Vitamin D. The heat that is provided during this crucial treatment kills all the harmful bacteria and doesn't affect the nutrients in the milk.
Clear these myths about milk from your mind and enjoy this storehouse of nutrients. Include milk in your daily breakfast to enjoy a healthy life.

A very well known but seldom used list, although if we practice the use of this list in our day to day lives it not only easens our life but avoida a hell lot of spelling errors for instance I am Raj (Romeo - Alpha - Juliet) Best of Luck A phonetic alphabet is a list of words used to identify letters in a message transmitted by radio or telephone. Spoken words from an approved list are substituted for letters. For example, the word "Army" would be "Alfa Romeo Mike Yankee" when spelled in the phonetic alphabet. This practice helps to prevent confusion between similar sounding letters, such as "m" and "n", and to clarify communications that may be garbled during transmission. An early version of the phonetic alphabet appears in the 1913 edition of The Bluejackets’ Manual. Found in the Signals section, it was paired with the Alphabetical Code Flags defined in the International Code. Both the meanings of the flags (the letter which they repr

8 Indian spices that prevent cancer (Thinkstock photos/Getty Images) Not every battle is struck by a wave of violence and not every fight culminates in bloodshed. When the opposition in question is an adamant disease like cancer, our armoury should be packed with a lifestyle of regular health check-ups and a diet including foods that double as anti-cancer agents. When actress Lisa Ray was diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a relatively rare cancer of the bone marrow, all she said was, "I'll beat cancer". Carrying this spirit of defeating a disease often labelled 'incurable', we try to find out diet methods, especially in the selection of spices that can avert the multiplying of malignant cells in the body that gradually mature into insurmountable cancer cells.
