Description

Acharya Prashant explains that the milk of a buffalo is suitable only for its own offspring, as every species has a unique constitution of milk designed to meet its precise needs. He observes that humans are the only species that continues to consume milk from other animals throughout their entire lives, even into old age. He points out that nature only provides milk for a short duration during infancy, after which lactation naturally stops. He argues that the continued consumption of milk and its derivatives, such as butter, clarified butter, and cottage cheese, in adulthood is a result of the food industry's influence rather than medical necessity or common sense. To illustrate his point, he notes that large and powerful animals like bulls, elephants, and whales achieve their immense size and vigor without drinking milk past their infancy. He also highlights that many successful athletes are vegan and do not consume any milk products, challenging the belief that milk is necessary for strength or athletic performance. He concludes by questioning the assumption that a person's physical success is caused by milk consumption, suggesting that correlation does not imply causation.
