Active Compounds

Bioactive compounds found in Dairy Milk, based on research from longevity science.

Galactose
Galactose, breakdown product of milk sugar lactose, is used to induce premature aging in lab animals

D-galactose
D-galactose in milk may accelerate aging and bone loss. Systemic D-galactose exposure induces memory loss, neurodegeneration, and oxidative damage in mice.

Calcium
Bovine milk has a calcium concentration of about 1 g/l; sufficient calcium intake is essential for healthy bones and teeth

Iodine
Milk contains large amounts of iodine (about 60 micrograms/l), sufficient for up to 50% of the recommended daily intake for adults

How Dairy Milk works at a cellular level.

PromotesmTOR Activation
Milk is a highly sophisticated hormone-signaling system designed to activate mTOR; bovine milk has 3x the leucine of human milk
InhibitsAntioxidant Defense
Adding milk to tea decreases or completely inhibits tea's antioxidant properties; completely blunts artery function benefits
PromotesmTOR Suppression
Milk is a nutrient system promoting mTORC1-dependent translation; lifetime impact on overactivation of mTORC1

Specific amounts mentioned in the research literature.

per glass/dayfor All-Cause Mortality
Three glasses of milk a day was associated with nearly twice the risk of dying early. Higher rates of premature death, more heart disease, and significantly more cancer for each daily glass.
